…Senior #Trump officials’ dishonest portrayal of #AlexPretti as a domestic terrorist is not a slip of the tongue or an impulsive idea. Instead, it appears to be part of the admin’s campaign to #demonize #opposition to its anti-immigrant policies as “domestic terrorism,” & to #weaponize powers of the #federal government against such perceived political opponents.#law #Constitution #WhiteChristianNationalism #WhiteSupremacy #immigration https://www.justsecurity.org/129797/alex-pretti-nspm-7/

That plan is set forth in a National Security Presidential Memorandum (#NSPM7) & other official memoranda. It is a direct threat to #FirstAmendment rights, as well as the lives of #protesters opposed to the admin’s #unconstitutional & increasingly #violent anti-immigrant policies.#law #Constitution #Trump #WhiteChristianNationalism #WhiteSupremacy #immigration

Not giving them credit. They set the situation up & now protest? Hell no.Prominent #Republicans & #GunRights advocates helped elicit a White House turnabout this week after bristling over the #Trump admin’s characterization of #AlexPretti, the 2nd person murdered this month by a #federal “officer” in #Minneapolis, as responsible for his own death because he lawfully possessed a weapon.#enablers #complicit #law #murder #Minnesota #CivilRights #UseOfForce #ICE #CBP https://apnews.com/article/trump-pretti-minnesota-second-amendment-ice-ffef56cab9930e52273f8227251452f4?utm_source=onesignal&utm_medium=push&utm_campaign=2026-01-27-Immigration

The death produced no clear shifts in #US #gun #politics or #policies, even as #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 #AlexPretti’s death while also criticizing inconsistencies in many #Republicans’ #SecondAmendment stances.#enablers #complicit #ReneeGood #law #murder #Minnesota #Constitution #CivilRights #UseOfForce #PoliceBrutality #ICE #CBP #Sturmabteilung

…#FBI Director #KashPatel magnified the blowback Sunday on FauxNews….No one, he said, can “bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It’s that simple.” Erich Pratt, VP of Gun Owners of America, was incredulous.“I have attended protest rallies while armed, & no one got injured,” he said on CNN.#enablers #complicit #ReneeGood #AlexPretti #law #murder #Minnesota #Constitution #CivilRights #UseOfForce #PoliceBrutality #ICE #CBP #Trump #Sturmabteilung

Conservative officials around the country made the same connection between the First & Second amendments.“Showing up at a protest is very American. Showing up with a weapon is very American,” state Rep. Jeremy Faison, who leads the GOP caucus in Tennessee, said on X.#Trump’s first-term VP, #MikePence, called for “full and transparent investigation of this officer involved shooting.”#enablers #complicit #ReneeGood #AlexPretti #Trump #law #murder #CivilRights #UseOfForce #ICE #CBP #Gestapo

Liberals, conservatives & nonpartisan experts noted how the admin’s response differed from past conservative positions involving #protests & #weapons.Multiple #Trump supporters were found to have weapons during the #Jan6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.

#Republicans were critical in 2020 when Mark & Patricia #McCloskey had to pay fines after pointing guns at protesters who marched through their St. Louis neighborhood after the police killing of #GeorgeFloyd in Minneapolis. And then there’s #KyleRittenhouse, a “counter-protester” acquitted after fatally #shooting 2 men & injuring another in Kenosha, Wisconsin, during the post-Floyd protests.#2A #hypocrisy #enablers #complicit #ReneeGood #AlexPretti #Trump #law #murder #UseOfForce #ICE #CBP

Adam Winkler, a UCLA #law prof who has studied the history of the #gun debate, said the fallout “shows how tribal we’ve become.” #Republicans spent years talking about the #SecondAmendment as a purported means to fight government tyranny, he said.“The moment someone who’s thought to be from the left, they abandon that principled stance,” Winkler said.#2A #hypocrisy #enablers #complicit #ReneeGood #AlexPretti #Trump #law #murder #CivilRights #UseOfForce #ICE #CBP #Sturmabteilung

The top 3 #House #Democrats threatened to start #impeachment proceedings against #DHS secy #KristiNoem if she remains in her position. “We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” they said in a statement.>100 congressional Democrats have now called for Noem’s impeachment, although they would need #Republicans’ support in order to move forward. But their statement is an indication Democrats will start the impeachment process it if they win a majority in the #midterms.#law #ICE #CBP #Trump

#Trump said Tuesday that he did not believe #AlexPretti, the protester killed by federal officers on Saturday, had approached them as an “assassin,’’ as his deputy chief of staff, #StephenMiller, contended hours after Pretti was killed. “No,” Trump said, when a reporter asked him about Miller’s characterization.But he went on to say, “You can’t have guns,” & “you can’t walk in with guns,” a reference to the fact that Pretti was carrying a weapon, which he had a permit to possess.#2A #law

Many #Trump supporters have taken a different view: the #NRA & others have insisted that #SecondAmendment rights apply even in the case of #protests like the one #AlexPretti was at in #Minneapolis. Many of Trump’s own supporters took weapons to the #Jan6, 2021, insurrection at the Capitol.#2A #hypocrisy #law #ICE #CBP #murder #ExtraJudicialKillings #Sturmabteilung #Constitution #RightToProtest #CivilRights #UseOfForce #PoliceBrutality #MafiaState #StateSponsoredTerrorism
