“Everything I’ve done, I’ve done at the direction of the president and Stephen,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told one source who relayed her comments to Axios.

Pretti, 37, was legally carrying a handgun when he was tackled by multiple federal agents, but video shows he did not brandish the weapon. Agents can be seen on video disarming Pretti before firing numerous shots into him while he was on the ground, killing him.
This part, afaik, lies with the officers who fired the shots, and then moves directly up the ‘chain of command’. I suspect they were told that things needed a little stirring up, so someone a level up ordered that group of agents to murder someone in cold blood, that day. Prove me wrong. Or let the charges be filed. Let the arrests begin with Noem, and Miller, and end with the grunts that did the dirty work.
Edit: @corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca commented that it is difficult to impossible to prove a negative. And I agree from a logic standpoint this is true. With the new day comes additional information, so I say, Fine, then, prove me correct. Let the agents stand trial for 1st Degree Murder, which tho’ I am not a lawyer, I still suspect this is a crime in Minnesota. Let the jury decide if it is beyond a reasonable doubt that these agents committed 1st Degree Murder, planned, and purposefully.

No, it’s simpler than that. No conspiracy here, just individual revenge.
Pretti got into an altercation with ICE a week ago, and they broke his rib. He got in their way again and they executed him.

That’s what we’re dealing with. No oversight, and supervisors actively looking the other way whenever possible as long as they bring bodies into the camps.
Nytimes just character assassinated pretti.
NYT is a rag, it’s done.
It’s just a wordle platform at this point. Can’t even do a crossword puzzle without pay wall.
