Video Failed to Load

There was a problem loading this video. This could be due to a temporary network issue or the video might be unavailable.

I’ve been asked about my updated thoughts now that now that newly released footage from January 13, 2026 shows Alex Pretti in a heated confrontation with immigration agents. In the video, he is seen yelling, spitting in their direction, and kicking a vehicle taillight until it breaks. Agents then... bring him to the ground, and during the struggle his concealed firearm becomes visible. For reasons still unexplained, the agents leave the scene without arresting him or even removing the firearm. Which in my mind raises serious concerns & questions regarding the training of immigration agents. The footage shows Alex making poor criminal decisions that day. That should have been handled through the legal system like any other crime. Arrest, charges, court, due process. That is how accountability works in our country. What it does NOT do is justify what happened later. Nothing in that earlier incident changes the fact that Alex Pretti was killed by government agents after being disarmed. Nothing erases the reality that he was entitled to due process. Nothing makes street level, unilateral government use of lethal force an acceptable substitute for a courtroom, a defense attorney, and a jury. We are a nation of laws. Guilt is decided in court, not on asphalt. It is also deeply disturbing that the public was told Alex was a “would be assassin” and “domestic terrorist looking to massacre law enforcement.” Those are lies, meant to gaslight the American people. That should concern everyone, no matter your politics. You can believe he acted wrong on January 13 and still believe his killing was unjustified. Those two things can exist at the same time. Accountability for citizens and accountability for government must go hand in hand, or freedom collapses. This is not about left versus right. It is not about party, agency, or ideology. It is about whether we still believe in the Constitution, due process, and the rule of law. We need to stand united as Americans who believe that no one is above the law and no one is beneath its protection.show more

The Administration's narrative is that Alex Pretti is a domestic terrorist who was out to murder ICE agents. The Left's narrative is that he was murdered in cold blood while defending the vulnerable. The truth is somewhere in the middle: Alex Pretti tragically died impeding law enforcement in their attempt to arrest criminals after a scuffle in which something made the agents fear for their lives. As a nation, we desperately need to take down the temperature and find common ground. That means not calling ICE Nazis and not calling protestors terrorists. Both are totally unacceptable.

ABC confirms what The Daily Letter and virtually everyone on X who is not brainwashed by propaganda had already confirmed 24 hours earlier that Alex Pretti never pulled a gun, never reached for it, never attacked DHS agents, was only recording when he was pepper-sprayed as he tried to rescue two women being assaulted by DHS agents sent by Trump and Noem to Minneapolis, not really for immigration enforcement, but for the governorship election that they have now effectively lost. The plan from here in Washington was to talk about fraud by Somali-Americans and using that as a pretext to deploy ICE, thousands of agents to one state out of 50. To the public, it was going to be about fraud, not election. In reality, it was about the governorship election there. But with the killings of Renee Nicole Good on January 7 and Alex Pretti on January 24 and massive protests, the Republicans have now lost the election there and likely in many other places. What is hilarious is how the general public often fails to see that it's never about WMDs, drugs or fraud, but power and money for those in power and their friends.

What does it mean to be an American in the year 2026? It means we still believe in those ideals of 1776. It means that we believe that all men are created equal. It means that we believe our rights are given to us by God, not by our government. It means that we the people create a government that is accountable to us, rather than the other way around. It means that our elected representatives write the laws that bind us, not unelected bureaucrats. It means we believe in merit. That you are judged not on the color of your skin, but on the content of your character and your contributions. It means that we believe in the rule of law, so long as those laws are legitimately adopted. It means that you’re free to speak your mind, and practice your faith, without the government standing in your way.

🚨Another day, another video of ICE agents illegally detaining a U.S. citizen and demanding “proof of citizenship,” in Minneapolis. In the video, you can see agents stop a car and immediately demand ID, without a warrant or probable cause. That is illegal. After running the ID, the agents get back in their vehicle and leave, because they never had the right to stop the person in the first place. This is what the Trump administration is trying to normalize… Masked agents pulling people over at random, demanding papers, and kidnapping U.S. citizens who don’t have their IDs, or if the agents aren’t able to identify them in their system. That is not legal. That is a direct violation of the United States Constitution… And it should terrify anyone who still cares about freedom.

🚨UPDATE: The U.S. veteran, who was violently assaulted and illegally arrested by ICE agents in Maryland… has been released with no charges filed. And here’s the part that keeps getting ignored… ICE agents claimed THEY had a video of the U.S. veteran assaulting an agent. But when asked for the video, no video was provided, and the U.S. veteran was released without charges. Meanwhile, there are multiple videos, and eyewitness accounts, showing the U.S. veteran being the one who was assaulted. And this is the pattern that keeps repeating… ICE agents use force and arrest someone without probable cause. The agents create a narrative after the fact. “Evidence” is claimed, but never released. Contradictory footage, from the public, circulates. And still no consequences for the agents involved. Because even after all of this, the agents are still on the streets. And the public is expected to just move on… like this is normal, like this is acceptable, like this is simply how things work now… Instead of acknowledging the pattern that needs to be addressed, and holding agents accountable.

"I believe in the rule of law, and I believe in due process needing to be followed. Now, my question is: if General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi simply went and opened a case, can any of us comfortably say that it would have been investigated?" - DA MP Ian Cameron "Unfortunately, I can't say that. Now, should we not follow due process or not allow the rule of law to prevail? No, we have to, because we've got to set a higher standard." - Ian Cameron

Kiley: Do you believe that someone who has entered the US illegally— that the due process requirements for that individual are the same as for a US citizen? Crockett: Per the constitution, if you are on our soil, you are guaranteed due process. The fact that there is even a question is why we are struggling right now… Kiley: That is simply untrue. The Supreme Court has made it very clear that due process is a context dependent inquiry Crockett: There was never a distinction that said somehow dependent on your status you somehow lose your access to due process. That is the only thing the Supreme Court has been consistent on..

It was already clear that Alex Pretti was interfering in a law enforcement operation. Now, new BBC video shows Pretti kicking out the taillight of an ICE SUV and wrestling with ICE agents. His gun is sticking out of his waistband. He screams & spits. He is deranged & dangerous.

WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED!!!! Yesterday, our colleague and DD Geopolitics correspondent Chris was told that the US government has placed him on the FBI's no-fly list while trying to board a flight in Beijing. He is an American citizen. He received no warning, no charge, and no reason. He found out only when the airline refused to issue his boarding pass after eight hours of waiting, stranding him abroad. As an American, he is now barred from flying to, from, or even over his own country. His "offense" is journalism. Chris was traveling to cover Iran's national team at the World Cup. In recent months he reported on the ground from Minab in southern Iran and from the site of the Starobelsk strike in the Donbass, where a dormitory full of teenagers was killed. His work documents the human cost of the wars Washington funds and fights: the children who never make the press releases. For that, an American citizen has been placed on a terrorism watchlist with no due process and no explanation. This is not a small thing. The no-fly list operates with almost no transparency, Americans are routinely listed without ever being told why, and the redress process is a black box that a federal court has already found violates constitutional due process. It is one of the most powerful quiet censorship tools the government holds, and it is now pointed at a journalist for reporting things they would rather no one see. DD Geopolitics will not be silenced. We are pursuing every legal avenue available to Chris, and we will not let this be buried. If they can do this to him with no warrant, no charge, and not one word of explanation, they can do it to any American who shows the world something it isn't supposed to see.

I don’t care about your politics anymore. I really don’t. If you’re still justifying ICE’s actions you’re done. That isn’t a disagreement anymore, that’s a moral failure. The claim that Alex Pretti, a 37 year old ICU nurse, was aggressive or that he was there to kill officers is not just false, it’s evil. It’s a deliberate lie. Kristi Noem repeating it isn’t confusion or poor judgment, it’s a malicious lie. This is the same woman with a documented history of cruelty and dishonesty, and now she’s in charge of Homeland Security. That should terrify everyone! If J.D. Vance and Trump’s team don’t cut her loose, they risk losing their base. This isn’t just Democrats anymore Republican supporters are fed up too. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: no one was ever opposed to deporting illegal immigrants, whether criminals or non-criminals. The justification was always public safety removing people who harm others, who commit violence, who kill. That was the idea! But now the very force that was supposed to protect the public is killing and harming American citizens! At that point, the distinction collapses. If an innocent American is killed, it makes no difference whether the trigger is pulled by a gang member or a federal agent. The outcome is the same: death, fear, and destruction, and I would argue it is even worst when your own is killing. The Trump administration has failed catastrophically with ICE and with Kristi Noem. And let’s be very clear about what’s happening. This is how authoritarianism starts. You give intelligence agencies and private contractors like Palantir powers they should never have and you're doomed. You normalize armed federal agents patrolling American streets. You lie about killings that are caught on camera. Then you label citizens “domestic terrorists” to justify it. First it’s immigrants. Then it’s protesters. Then it’s journalists. Then it’s you. Mark my words. It will be you! We’ve already seen it twice in two weeks. Alex a 37 years old, an ICU nurse at the VA, no criminal record, no violence and he was shot and killed, Just like Renee Good before him. Both were American citizens. Both were immediately smeared by the government as violent extremists. The videos are clear. Alex was filming something every American has the right to do. He approached no one aggressively. He was holding a phone. He was pepper-sprayed for no good reason. His legally carried firearm was removed by ICE. We have second amendment rights in this country, we can exercise them if we want to and honestly - in this American, seems to me we should do it daily! Only after he was disarmed and on the ground did an agent shoot him multiple times, in the back.And yet top officials Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, Greg Bovino went on camera and flat out lied. Not misspoke. Lied. they claimed he was ready to kill ICE officers. This is an attack on American peoples and their rights with bunch of lazy hater in uniforms. If the shooting were justified,they wouldn’t need to fabricate a story, they would not need to make things up.This is what should outrage everyone, regardless of where you stand on immigration or ICE. A government that lies this brazenly. When video evidence is available to anyone is a government that believes it no longer needs public consent to do anything.That is dangerous. There is no democracy in this country but at least we were always able to push back, now we have these people who think they are above the law everywhere. In foreign policy and oil, and in domestic policy too, I bet they’re about to learn their lesson. I’ve spoken to many cops who have pushed back against ICE officers, confronted them, and openly criticized them. Because at the end of the day, cops are regular Americans. They live in our neighborhoods, care about people and public safety, and took an oath to protect. Now they’re defending Americans, standing with them against these brainless haters in uniforms and that is something we should be proud of. As the daughter of a detective, I am extremely proud of these cops who are pushing back and protecting citizens. ICE is unprofessional; they are poorly trained, scared, and operating on hate nothing more. That’s something you see in North Korea not in this country. Enough is enough! Republican especially, should be alarmed. For years, the right warned against armed federal agents patrolling American streets. Waco, ruby ridge, DHS itself was controversial when it was created. The second amendment was defended precisely as a safeguard against government overreach. Here’s the new standard in America: if you are legally carrying a firearm, even if you never touch it, never threaten anyone, never break the law the government can label you a terrorist and kill you. Even if you are an American citizen. And the hypocrisy is staggering. These are the same people who screamed nonstop to free Kyle Rittenhouse, defending the principle that legal firearm possession or use in defence does not equal criminal intent. But now that ordinary Americans who fit that same standard are standing in front of them, they’ve completely reversed course. Suddenly, legal gun ownership is enough to justify lethal force. I’ve always been clear about this: when Trump is right on policy be it domestic or foreign, I give him credit, I support him fully. I’m not driven by blind loyalty so when he is wrong I speak up just as quickly and honestly. But this crosses a line. If the government can kill you for exercising a constitutional right without action, without threat, without due process, then the right itself no longer exists. That is not law and order. That is tyranny. If that’s the rule now, the second amendment is dead. What we are seeing is not law enforcement, it’s power without accountability. And history is very clear about where that road leads. More on my YouTube link in the Bio.

The country is now engaged in a great trial, of the proposition that we are a nation of laws, and the rule of law applies to everyone. Jim Jordan believes that it should not apply to the leader of his party. That is a different proposition. And it is called, dictatorship.

BREAKING: New video just released of what appears to be Alex Pretti interacting with Federal law enforcement in Minneapolis. The video not only shows them jumping on top of him, after he did kick their vehicle. but also shows that he was carrying a gun at the time. Notice that these agents did NOT feel the need to shoot him or even disarm him. Pretti was far more confrontational here than on January 24, and walked away with his gun.

“Let me advise the Federal Government on the distribution of federal resources. From the information available to us, it’s like most of the national budget is now tilting in one direction in this country.” - Kwankwaso During the Public Hearing on Constitution Review in Kano today, Kwankwaso expressed his concerns, added, “Now, we are told that there is a road from the South to the East. We support infrastructure anywhere in this country, and any other thing that is good for the masses but a situation where government is taking our resources and dumping it in one part of the country and other parts of the country are left just like that, I don’t believe that is the right thing to do by the government itself.”

WATCH: CNN’s John Miller mentions the video and notes left behind by the alleged Minneapolis Catholic church shooter, citing their mental illness and the working motive is “he was in pain,” but NOTHING about the shooter being transgender and that they hated Christians, Jews, and Trump... Well, we’ve been looking into the shooter who law enforcement sources have identified as Robin Westman and police have been examining some of the postings online by an individual of the same name, presumed to be the same individual. It shows numerous weapons, magazines, things in preparation for the shooting along with a book and different notes. But one of them is particularly telling in that it says: ‘I have waited for this for so long. I am not well. I am not right. I am a sad person, haunted by these thoughts that do not go away. I know this is wrong’ and he goes on to describe that the action he is going to take against this world before taking his own life — which is not uncommon in these incidents, these active shooter scenarios where you see someone who reports to be in — in — in pain and trauma and that they write all of this out and leave it behind with the foreknowledge that what they're about to do is going to end their own life as well, while taking these — these strangers, these innocent people with them in the process. But investigators are going back through this material and a lot of other material trying to determine motive. So what do we know? I mean, what we know, if this in fact is from the shooter, that his motive was he was in pain. But what we don't see here and there's more to go through is what was, what was the shooter — Robin Westman in pain about specifically?”

I know this is wrong’ and he goes on to describe that the action he is going to take against this world before taking his own life — which is not uncommon in these incidents, these active shooter scenarios where you see someone who reports to be in — in — in pain and trauma and that they write all of this out and leave it behind with the foreknowledge that what they're about to do is going to end their own life as well, while taking these — these strangers, these innocent people with them in the process. But investigators are going back through this material and a lot of other material trying to determine motive. So what do we know? I mean, what we know, if this in fact is from the shooter, that his motive was he was in pain. But what we don't see here and there's more to go through is what was, what was the shooter — Robin Westman in pain about specifically?”

Pretrial Solitary Confinement Is Not “Normal” | Due Process, Punishment, And What Happened To Me ⚖️🇺🇸 This video is not politics. It is constitutional rights. It is due process. And it is what happens when “pretrial” starts looking and feeling like punishment. ⚖️ Here is the key point most people do not understand. If you are a pretrial detainee, you have not been convicted. And the Supreme Court has been clear that a pretrial detainee cannot be punished. The government can detain you, but it cannot impose conditions that amount to punishment. That matters because solitary confinement is not a slap on the wrist. Extended isolation changes your mind. It breaks sleep. It breaks peace. It breaks your ability to regulate stress. 🧠 People argue Eighth Amendment, cruel and unusual punishment. But the bigger legal reality for pretrial detention is the Due Process Clause. The Court of Appeals in Bell v. Wolfish relied on due process rather than the Eighth Amendment because pretrial detainees cannot be punished at all. In plain English, pretrial conditions are supposed to be about safety and legitimate detention needs, not retaliation, not political heat, not humiliation, and not breaking a man before he ever sees a jury. That is why I am talking about solitary confinement and due process together. Because pretrial is not supposed to be punishment. And if the conditions become punitive, that is where constitutional violations start. ⚖️ I am sharing this because people see headlines and never see the human cost. I spent long stretches in solitary confinement as a pretrial detainee. Before trial. Before a conviction. Before I was “technically” supposed to be punished. Then I came home and the delayed impact hit. Months later. Not immediately. That is how trauma works. The body keeps the score even when you pretend you are fine. 🧠 This video is also one example in a longer timeline. There were other things that happened to me in custody that I will address separately, with documentation and context, because I do not do rumor and I do not do vague claims. People can hate what I was accused of. People can disagree with me. That does not change the Constitution. Due process either applies to everyone, or it applies to no one. 🇺🇸 Watch the video. Then ask yourself one question. If pretrial detainees can be treated like convicted prisoners, what does “innocent until proven guilty” even mean. 👀

🚨BREAKING: Body cam footage has been released… and it proves that Border Patrol and DHS lied about the shooting of Marimar Martinez in Chicago. In the video, you can hear an agent say: “Okay, time to get aggressive… because they are trying to box us in.” Then: “We are going to make contact, we are boxed in.” But, the footage shows something VERY different. The driver turns HIS wheel to the left and hits Martinez’s car. Not the other way around. An agent then says, “Okay, we are fine. That fucking little bitch.” That language… the dehumanizing, violent mindset towards women… is the exact same pattern we’re seeing play out across the country with ICE/Border Patrol shootings. Then you hear “We’ve been struck”… even though the body cam footage clearly shows Martinez’s car was never pinning them or blocking their movement, and they hit her. But, the agents got out and opened fire anyway. Five shots fired at a woman who was trying to leave, and was nowhere near the agents. DHS later accused Martinez of having a gun… even though they never saw the gun, and never announced it in the moment… and ignored the fact that she had a license to possess a firearm. This is the same pattern that ICE/Border Patrol have shown in Minneapolis… where agents shot and killed ICU nurse Alex Pretti. Pretti was legally licensed to carry a firearm… and the only weapon he was seen with before agents tackled him was his phone. Agents disarmed him, pinned him to the ground, and then shot him multiple times… including after he was already motionless. And the rhetoric surrounding these shootings reveals how dehumanization leads to murder. ICE agents called Renee Good a “fucking bitch”, and Marimar Martinez a “little bitch”, as they opened fire at them. All while DHS immediately labels U.S. citizens “domestic terrorists”… before any investigation, before evidence was reviewed, and despite video evidence contradicting those claims. They lie first, then try to justify later. They dehumanize women, then shoot them. They frame U.S. citizens as threats, then refuse transparency. And after all of that, agents are not being charged for it, or even removed from their duties. Which is dangerous. Because power without accountability becomes violence without consequence. We have men with badges using intimidation and aggression, dehumanizing people… especially women… and opening fire for no legitimate reason. We have federal agents killing U.S. citizens, and the administration protects them instead of investigating the shootings. And this isn’t one isolated incident. This is a nationwide pattern of abuse, and cover-ups, that puts everyone at risk. If we don’t demand accountability immediately, this won’t be the last time an agent says a slur, fires their weapon, and kills someone who posed no threat. We can’t let that happen. We have to expose the lies, demand transparency, and insist these agents face real consequences… or else this violence becomes the new normal.

Breaking: Reawaken America Accountability is the foundation of the Republic. Without accountability, you do not have a Constitution. Without accountability, you do not have justice. You have a system of men protecting themselves. Without accountability, you do not have a nation of laws. You have a Nation of men who will use their offices to destroy anyone who stands in their way. This is the essential requirement of free government. The Founders understood this truth, and that is why they built the entire system on the principle that no man is above the law. We have watched that principle be shattered. Men in government used their authority to spy on Americans, to prosecute the innocent, to destroy families, and to silence dissent. They have faced no consequences. They have been protected by the very system that should have held them accountable. Every official who abused their power must answer for it. Every agency that was weaponized must be gutted. Every person who participated in the cover-up must face justice. Without accountability, the Republic dies.

I have listened to the debate on Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 between legal scholar Dr Justice Mavedzenge and political scientist Prof Jonathan Moyo today on Twitter. Without any doubt, Dr Justice Mavedzenge explained, clarified, and made ordinary people understand the issues, and more importantly, in my humble view, he won the debate on whether there is need for Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 to be subjected to a referendum or not. Anything done for the people, as Prof Jonathan Moyo says these monumental amendments are, should be subjected to the people. The Constitution is not ambiguous on this. It is clear that term limits should be subjected to a referendum for any change to be done legally. Under Section 328 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe, any amendment that seeks to extend the length of time a President may hold office, or to remove or alter term limits in a way that benefits an incumbent, cannot apply to the sitting President and must be subjected to constitutional safeguards. You cannot claim to be doing something for the people and yet deny those same people the right to have a say. Prof Jonathan Moyo has a right to his views, but those views must be subjected to the law for the amendments to be implemented legally, and based on what I have read in our Constitution, his views are not aligned with the law. And I am not making this up. It is in the Constitution. Even veteran Zimbabwean lawyer and former ZANUPF legal secretary, Patrick Chinamasa, has said so. In this video, he explains in front of President Mnangagwa that what they are attempting to do today, which Prof Jonathan Moyo argues does not require a referendum, would in fact require two referendums. One to remove or alter presidential term limits from five to seven years, and another to extend the sitting president’s tenure to 2030. This position was declared, and not contradicted, at a ZANUPF conference in Bulawayo. What the broader legal fraternity in Zimbabwe is saying, save for a few lawyers who have since revised their positions and now echo the same view, is that the Constitution is explicit on these prescripts. Anything else is political propaganda to win hearts and minds. The problem with propaganda is that it cannot be anchored in constitutional provisions. It rests on opinion. In this instance, however, we are not expressing opinions. We are stating what is contained in the Constitution and what ZANUPF itself has previously acknowledged. You can decide today that you want a 20-year presidential term. That is your right to hold that view, but you must subject that proposition to the law. If you believe in it, take it to the citizens in the manner prescribed by the Constitution. You cannot decide, through opinion or political argument, whether a referendum is required or not. That question is not settled by what anyone thinks. It is settled by what the law says. If the Constitution requires a referendum, then you must subject yourself to it. That is how constitutional democracy works. We know that the judiciary in Zimbabwe is captured. We know how they are going to rule, but the whole world knows the truth, that if they rule in favour of these amendments going ahead without a referendum, they are simply a captured judiciary without the respect that is required for anyone holding such an important office, and history will remember them as such.

Slavery Was Not Abolished In The US. It Was Rebranded The U.S. calls itself the land of the free and a defender of human rights, but its prison system tells a very different story. While America celebrates the 13th Amendment as the official end of slavery, what is happening inside its prisons shows that slavery did not actually end. It was repackaged and reshaped through a loophole in the same law that claims to abolish it. What you see in places like the so-called Angola prison makes that contradiction clear. The same country that speaks about global freedom and claims to police human rights abuses is still profiting from forced labor within its own system, backed and protected by its own laws. That is the reality. For Africans and people across the Global South, this is something to pay attention to. It shows that the image America presents to the world is not the full story, and it raises serious questions about how seriously its claims on human rights should be taken.
