During Anti-ICE Protest a Week Before
He Was Shot 13 replies
Alex Pretti was “known” to federal law enforcement before he was fatally shot, and had broken a rib during a physical altercation with ICE agents a week before he was killed by a Border Patrol official on Saturday, sources say. Pretti “had a physical encounter with federal agents about a week before he was shot and killed by law enforcement,” CNN reported Tuesday. The incident unfolded after Pretti stopped his car upon observing ICE agents chasing a family on foot and got involved by “protesting their attempt to detain other individuals,” the outlet reported.
He was then tackled by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents —

Pro-Democrat investor and pro-migration lobbyist Ron Conway is the biggest loser — so far — in the expanding fight to impose a wealth tax on California billionaires, according to a report.
“Probably the main guy getting his face eaten by leopards here, who around half of the [investors] I interviewed mentioned, is the major Democratic National Committee (DNC) funder Ron Conway, who is apparently close to Governor Gavin Newsom.,” Mike Solana wrote in the Free Press.
A striking digital billboard display in New York City’s Times Square is promoting Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer’s book The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon, which reached #1 on Amazon the day before its January 20 release. Displayed prominently above the New York Police Department’s Times Square substation, the billboard juxtaposes Schweizer’s book cover alongside the words: “NYC, did you know? Terror groups linked to 9/11 are funding and helping elect members of Congress.” The layout spans two panels: one side features the book cover, while the other presents a visual of the Twin Towers —
The Saturday shooting death of anti-ICE protester Alex Pretti has roiled the city of Minneapolis and sent thousands of demonstrators to the streets night after night in the frigid cold. The inflammatory rhetoric from leftists continues even as not all the facts are known. President Trump, meanwhile, is sending Border Czar Tom Homan to the Twin Cities to manage the volatile situation, while U.S. Border Patrol Commander‑at-Large Gregory Bovino and a number of his agents will reportedly be leaving town.
However, according to DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, Bovino remains a valued member of the Trump administration:
Virginia is the epitome of a swing state, at least over the last few years. From far left Democrats to conservative Republicans and back again, the state seems to swing like an unlatched screen door in a hurricane.
Now the state has gone from Glenn Youngkin to Abigail Spanberger, and with her comes a litany of anti-gun proposals that Democrats in the Old Dominion State have long wanted to implement.
And as NRA executive director John Commerford notes, this marks a change in the Second Amendment in Virginia.
In a commentary article in the Financial Post on Tuesday, Bjørn Lomborg argues that Net Zero is “on its way out”, as politicians across the world face up to the high cost and tiny climate returns of raising energy prices. With voters “weary of soaring energy bills and annoyed by increasingly hysteric and patronising climate rhetoric”, governments from the US to UK, Germany to Australia are waking up to the “simple truth”: “aggressive Net Zero mandates are delivering economic pain for unmeasurable and far-off climate gain”. Lomborg senses “a new pragmatism” entering the climate debate

President Trump is considering a cap on state fuel tax that would offer serious relief to California’s long-suffering drivers.
In an exclusive interview with The California Post, the president said his plan could see drivers pay 40% less at the pump.
“Gasoline in California could be $2.50,” he said. Trump has made his attempts to drive down prices at the pump the centerpiece of his affordability messaging and said he wants to address the fact that the Golden State has the country’s highest gas tax.
The average cost of a gallon of gas in the US in January is $2.83 per gallon, but for California residents,
With Border Czar Tom Homan headed to take charge of Homeland Security efforts in Minneapolis and President Donald Trump finding some common ground with Gov. Tim Walz, a rapid reduction in tensions is thankfully well under way.
Alex Pretti’s death plainly prompted a sobering all around, as it should.
We’re glad to see Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem elbowed aside. Her performance in recent weeks as the situation in Minnesota escalated out of control did not serve the president or the country well.
Without anyone backing off on matters of principle, state and federal leaders now can find some accommodation —
They're Scattering: Anti-ICE Leftists

Consider Fleeing Country After Signal
Chat Got Exposed 6 replies
They got exposed, but that doesn’t mean they’ve gone away or stopped. They’re a roach infestation. These leftists in Minneapolis, causing mayhem for our law enforcement, had their secret Anti-ICE chat on Signal exposed, but new ones have been established, and the older ones nuked from existence. Still, the chats revealed a coordinated system from which these psychopaths could engage in targeted harassment and assault of federal law enforcement. Reporter Cam Higby dropped this nuke over the weekend, and now they’re scattering. Some said they’re fleeing the country and going to Cuba, which was amusing:

After He Allegedly Leaked Nuclear Secrets

A senior figure at the very top of China’s military has been abruptly removed amid allegations he passed highly sensitive nuclear information to the United States.
Zhang Youxia, long regarded as the operational leader of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), was dismissed on Saturday for a “serious violation of discipline.”
According to The Wall Street Journal, the 75-year-old general is accused of sharing classified details relating to China’s nuclear weapons programme with Washington.
The allegations were reportedly laid out during a closed-door briefing attended by senior PLA officers.
A conservative D.A. in rural Arizona is changing the state’s landscape — for the better. With the state in chaos due to botched elections, patriots are desperately in need of a leader to stand up and unite the base. Enter Pinal County Attorney Brad Miller, who was elected to office over a year ago, defeating a two-term incumbent backed by the Pinal County Board of Supervisors and amplified by the local media establishment. That was not an accident. It was a rejection. At the time Miller took office, the chairman of the supervisors was already entrenched, serving his fourth term. Miller is different. He is the outlier,

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey declared on Tuesday that his city "will not enforce federal immigration laws" in the wake of a meeting with border czar Tom Homan.
Frey wrote, "Today, Chief O'Hara and I met with Border Czar Homan and had a productive conversation. I reiterated that my main ask is for Operation Metro Surge to end as quickly as possible. Public safety works best when it's built on community trust, not tactics that create fear or division."

The National Security Council whistleblower who triggered the first impeachment against Donald Trump is running for Senate.
Alexander Vindman announced on Tuesday he is running in the president's home state of Florida as a Democrat seeking to oust Republican Senator Ashley Moody.
In his two-minute announcement video, the Ukraine-born candidate leans into his anti-Trump sentiment, claiming: 'This president unleashed a reign of terror and retribution, not just against me and my family, but against all of us.'
'Today, our country is in chaos.'
Vindman, a retired lieutenant colonel and an NSC aide during Trump's first term, testified to Congress in October and November 2019 regarding
Tuesday on MS NOW’s “Chris Jansing Reports,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said if President Donald Trump does not fire Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, they will “initiate” impeachment proceedings against her.
Jefferies said, “Kristi Noem is a despicable, corrupt, pathological liar. We’ve seen her slander, not just one, but two American citizens, patriotic Americans who were killed without justification on the streets of Minneapolis. In the last few weeks. She’s deeply unqualified. She never should have been confirmed to begin with by Senate Republicans and House Democrats have called for her to be fired immediately.
Rather startling news out of Minneapolis on Tuesday evening: Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-05) was speaking at a town hall event there when a man approached her and appeared to spray an unknown substance at her while pointing and yelling at her.Here are two separate angles of the incident: (tweets) At the time of the attack, Omar was saying, "Secretary Kristi Noem must resign or face impeachment."
As the crowd applauds, the man approaches her from the front. He's holding something in his right hand as he sprays an unknown substance at her, which appears to catch her on the arm or chest. He's yelling, and his
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr announced Tuesday that the agency will vote next month on proposals to remove fraud from the Lifeline program, which provided taxpayer dollars to pay for phone and internet services for more than 116,000 dead people.
“If the government is going to spend your hard earned dollars, it must ensure that they go only to living and lawful Americans,” Carr wrote on X.
Carr’s announcement followed a report from the Federal Communications Commission Office of Inspector General (FCC OIG), which found startling levels of fraud in the program. Congress and the FCC established the Lifeline program to help low-income Americans receive affordable communications service,
When you live in any community death happens. But when you live in one with tens of thousands of people, death happens pretty often. People die from heart attacks, strokes, aneurysms, complications of age, you name it. Emergency services respond, paperwork gets filled out, and that’s how records pile up. That’s just how life works. Except in some Somali communities…
And that’s why a lot of people are now asking a very uncomfortable question: what does it mean when those records are nowhere to be found?
The questions are coming from all corners… from Maine to Minnesota. People who work in and around emergency response, law enforcement, and local systems are
The FBI has launched a formal investigation into encrypted Signal group chats that anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement activists in Minneapolis allegedly used to track, identify, and interfere with federal law enforcement officers, FBI Director Kash Patel said Monday.
And it looks like some Minnesota state officials could face consequences.
The investigation was prompted by independent journalist Cam Higby’s viral X thread detailing coordinated efforts on the messaging app to share real-time information about ICE agents’ movements.
"We immediately opened up that investigation because that sort of Signal chat being coordinated with individuals, not just locally in Minnesota, but maybe even around the country —

Republican Rep. Mike Lawler is breaking from the Trump administration on its deportation push, calling for leniency for some illegal immigrants in an essay for The New York Times. “The deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis this month were tragic and preventable,” Lawler, R-N.Y., writes in an essay published Tuesday. “No matter where you stand on immigration enforcement, the shootings show that what the country has been doing is not working.”
Lawler, who represents a district in New York’s Hudson Valley that favored Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris over now-President Donald Trump, argues in the essay that Congress must codify new immigration
Joe Biden crawled out of his hole on Tuesday to bash the Trump Administration over the two fatal ICE-involved shootings in Minneapolis.
Biden accused the Trump Administration of trampling on 4th Amendment rights and gunning down citizens for exercising their constitutional rights.
ICE agents have warrants to enter homes and arrest criminal illegal aliens.
“What has unfolded in Minneapolis this past month betrays our most basic values as Americans. We are not a nation that guns down our citizens in the street. We are not a nation that allows our citizens to be brutalized for exercising their constitutional rights.
Prominent Republicans and gun rights advocates helped elicit a White House turnabout this week after bristling over the administration’s characterization of Alex Pretti, the second person killed this month by a federal officer in Minneapolis, as responsible for his own death because he lawfully possessed a weapon.
The death produced no clear shifts in U.S. gun politics or policies, even as President Donald Trump shuffles the lieutenants in charge of his militarized immigration crackdown. But important voices in Trump’s coalition have called for a thorough investigation of Pretti’s death while also criticizing inconsistencies in some Republicans’ Second Amendment stances.
Stephen Hunter: Pretti’s pistol
15 replies
Our friend Stephen Hunter is the author of 20 novels, including the Bob Lee Swagger series, and is the retired chief film critic for the Washington Post, where he won the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Distinguished Criticism. His most recent novel is Gun Man Jackson Swagger. Late last night Steve wrote us that “this Alex Pretti thing has me all buzzed up. It’s SO familiar–the ‘victim’ instigated the event; the federal agents had about two seconds to respond; the backlash was immediate and well-planned; the media compliant as rent boys.” Steve sees the case as “the tragic but blameless police shooting of a dim liberal-dogooder driven by self-righteous vanity.”
