An analysis of cause and effect and context always matters and are critical to help resolve problems created as a consequence.
Regarding alex pretti's death, the left-wing media was quick to portray him as totally innocent, yet we are learning he was a member of the anti-ICE Signal chat group responsible for coordinating operations against the agency. He carried a gun and 2 magazines. It begs the question whether someone so armed was there to peacefully protest. When a struggle he created ensued, pretti was shot and killed.
Yet, despite the shooting, left-wing/democrat Mayor frey saw no need to warn the public to avoid ICE operations or to designate a safe area away from the ICE operations for protesters to demonstrate. Instead, he foolishly asked questions intent on dodging any responsibility on his part for what happened. But of course, in typical marxist ideological strategy, frey purposely avoided asking the question to which the obvious answer would be to restore the safety he supposedly sought for his city. That question is: “What can I as mayor do to prevent confrontations between ICE agents doing their job and residents opposed to them doing it?”
frey totally ignored the fact that while Trump does his job as president, ridding our country of illegal aliens, the mayor fails to do his job to ensure the safety of his citizens. Doing so entails warning them against interfering with legal ICE operations and limiting their protesting to distant safe areas. The failure of frey and other neo-liberal state and local officials to do this explains why ICE agents have suffered a 1,300% increase in assaults, a 3,200% increase in vehicle attacks, and an 8,000% increase in death threats.
Boiled down to its common denominator, the incidents occurring between ICE agents and anti-ICE activists put 2 US Constitutional rights into conflict. While anti-ICE activists do have a 1st Amendment right to protest, ICE agents are within their legal right to perform their federally-mandated duty to arrest illegal aliens. It is that same Constitution that, through the Supremacy Clause, mandates conflicting rights (as long as they're congruent with the Constitution, as ICE is), bend to federal authority. This is the point that state and local officials have a responsibility to impress upon their citizens, offering the means by which both groups can effectively exercise their rights. While the public should be well aware of what risks are undertaken by interfering with an ICE operation, there is a lack of accountability on the part of neo-liberal state and local government officials by their failure to forewarn about this.
Some states recognize the crime of “murder by omission.” It arises when a person with a duty to act to prevent the death of others fails to do so. No better example is befitting of neo-liberal state and local officials failing to so act to warn against public interference with ICE operations or to provide a safe area for protesters to demonstrate than the actions of those in Minneapolis. How much more time needs to pass and how many more ICE/protester victim lives claimed before common sense evolves among our political leaders?
Cam Higby exposed how left-wing anti-ICE agitators in Minnesota have been coordinating to track, identify, and impede federal law enforcement. The group uses signal chats to gather information, communicate, and coordinate. Higby infiltrated these chats and sought to identify a number of the people involved, especially at the leadership level, who have been engaged in efforts to obstruct ICE from doing its job. The tactics of these anti-ICE agitators are pretty simple. 1st, they gather information on suspected immigration officials by collecting license plates into a database. Then, they track these suspected agents to find where they are staying. They also coordinate to impede suspected ICE actions. Of course, they do all this in the name of “protesting,” but these aren’t simple protests. They’re acts of obstructing law enforcement. Indeed, the agitators’ strategy is to discredit ICE and stop all enforcement of federal immigration law. In fact, alex pretti was a member of this signal chat network.
As FBI Director Kash Patel made clear, “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 — if that leads to a break in the federal statute or a violation of some law, then we are going to arrest people. You cannot create a scenario that illegally entraps and puts law enforcement in harm’s way.”
That may explain left-wing/democrat Governor walz’s sudden willingness to at least appear to de-escalate the situation via his phone conversation with Trump. The governor is already in hot water over the Somali welfare fraud scandal, and he has repeatedly used incendiary rhetoric about ICE, which may be why he is suddenly trying to make nice with Trump. Should it be found that members of the walz regime were complicit in doxing and impeding federal immigration law enforcement, it would further expose that these anti-ICE protests are neither organic nor grassroots; rather, they are part of an organized, agenda-driven campaign by radical leftist groups to undermine the Rule of Law and sow discord across the country.
