This doesn’t even warrant description as a summary execution.
It’s just a plain old murder.

It was like being in a nightclub in West Wales. There’s one angry guy out there trying to start a fight with anyone that he can and finally finds someone who doesn’t back away from him quickly enough. He bottles the guy, and then all of his similarly scummy mates immediately jump over to start stomping him.
That’s who ice are – the patrons of a nightclub in West Wales that caused it to go bankrupt because no one wants to go if they’re going to be there

Quite literally they are Proud Boys and other White Nationalist groups who were pardoned for Jan 6th and offered jobs at ICE.
I believe a female journalist recently applied to ICE to see how easy it was to get hired. She answered none of the application questions, was invited to a recruitment event and offered the job within minutes of arriving. They don’t give a fuck, they want murderers and Nazis.

If Congress is still a thing, they need to curb ICE asap. Untrained, or poorly trained, violent “officers” who are acting under blanket protection? It is past time for it to stop. It is lawless.
It is appalling to see what is happening.

In the scheme of things… ICE are behaving exactly how the Orange Caligula would have them behave if he wants to cancel elections and control Congress and SCOTUS to remain in power… Not just the mid-terms either… These actions are going to escalate and escalate until they have such a foothold, there will be no way to stop them, or ever remove them from the streets.
- Their numbers are increasing.
- They have just been sanctioned with additional funds that total into the Billions.
- They are becoming answerable to no-one but Trump
- Their agenda seems to be pushing for a them and us mindset
- It will become a rule by fear philosophy

Same information is being offered across numerous posts saying the same thing… Must be an element of fact here:
BREAKING: The man brutally murdered by ICE in Minneapolis today FOR NO REASON has been identified as 37-year-old Minneapolis resident and American CITIZEN Alex Jeffrey Pretti.
Alex was a registered nurse with NO CRIMINAL RECORD and only a few parking tickets to his name. He was an athlete and avid outdoorsman. He was a brother and a son. He worked for the VA, where he cared for veterans’ health. He was an ICE observer who was legally filming the ICE agents’ actions when he was stopped, detained, DISARMED, and THEN shot several times by ICE agents.
Alex had a legal permit to carry a firearm and multiple videos of the killing clearly show that he did not draw his weapon or brandish it at ICE agents. Apparently, the Second Amendment only applies to Republicans.
He was ONLY filming when they approached him, and was ONLY holding his camera.
ICE agents had taken his weapon from its holster BEFORE they shot him.
He was being pinned down and brutally beaten by a mob of ICE agents when they shot him FOR NO REASON.
It was MURDER.
It’s worth highlighting the fact that Pretti is a legal citizen and has an address listed in South Minneapolis. The Trump administration has flooded our streets with undertrained, overweight, bloodthirsty, masked enforcers under the pretext of rounding up violent undocumented migrants. In practice, they’re targeting and executing innocent Americans.
It’s absolutely paramount that we spread the truth about Pretti far and wide because Homeland Security is already rushing to falsely smear him as an attempted mass shooter. The official DHS account on X wrote that he “wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.” They’re absolutely shameless with their lies. We won’t fall for it.
Rest in power, Alex.

Did I just hear this right?
Germany has demanded 130bn EUR worth of gold from US vaults. Sweden has dumped some bonds and Denmark is going to pull out entirely.
Can anyone verify?

There certainly is (and has been) a very public discussion in Germany about the gold reserves located in the US and it’s currently a hot topic in the media, but as far as I know the Bundesbank has made no efforts to do so. Apparently it’s not even that simple to get it back in practice.

Why are German gold reserves even situated in the US?!

Was supposed to be safer in the old post-war/cold war times, sort of meant to be for times of crisis. This was back when Europeans looked at the US as more stable. Hard to imagine nowadays, I know.

Nail on the head. It doesn’t require any prescience to see that you want to GTFO of America ASAP.

Republican deplorables are the problem; sadly it will take mass bloodshed to excise the cancer. Unless you want to participate in that it’s time to leave the country.

Fuck man, that was vile. These pieces of human garbage and their supporters hopefully get what’s coming to them.
Can’t Minneapolis police do anything? ICE is just walking about murdering people and nothing is happening to them?? Too scared of an armed confrontation?

The message needs to be sprayed out there now. This isn’t a black or brown guy. He isn’t an immigrant or criminal. He’s your average white male American that seems to be all the rage amongst the dumbfuck Republican base. When Trump was under all those charges it was ‘if it can happen to him, it can happen to you’.
Flip the script and get it out there, if it can happen to Alex Pretti, it can happen to you.

They’ll see him as a race traitor or some shit for trying to help someone being attacked by ICE. MAGA think they’re immune since they would never do such a thing..
