The story surrounding the apparent murder of Alex Pretti by a pack of “homeland security” goons continues to unfold.<\/p>\n

On Saturday afternoon, Donald Trump posted an inflammatory rant on Truth Social<\/a> after the shooting, sharing an image of what the Department of Homeland Security says was a handgun carried by the man who was killed. Alex Pretti’s parents issued a statement soon thereafter calling out the Trump Regime’s “sickening lies<\/a>“. Even one of FOX News’s most outspoken commentators isn’t buying what the regime is selling<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At about the same time, MN Gov. Tim Walz activated the state’s National Guard<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, scrutiny of the shooting has intensified. Videos show<\/a> that a federal agent secured the licensed, fully legal gun Pretti was carrying before tha fatal shooting.<\/p>\n

Late yesterday, Minnesota federal judge Eric C. Tostrud issued a late-night order<\/a> barring federal officials from destroying evidence tied to the shooting. And George Conway, former conservative strategist turned Democratic congressional candidate, is calling for Trump’s impeachment and removal<\/a>.<\/p>\n
