More death in Minnesota: Letters – Latest News
The Issue: Investigations into the death of anti-ICE protester Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse in Minneapolis.
Can we nonetheless assist ICE with out condoning the killings of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti (“Feds probe shot from seized gun,” Jan. 27)?
Can’t ICE simply use less-than-lethal power to control protesters? These shootings remind me of the Kent State tragedies.

The rhetoric is often oversimplifications to stir up feelings and propagate chaos, whether or not by design or ignorance.
For cooler minds to prevail, everybody — on each side of the immigrant- border-enforcement debate — must study the phrases: “We await the results of the investigation.”

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stated Alex Pretti had “approached US border patrol officers with a 9 mm semiautomatic handgun.”

President Trump’s insurance policies and people enabling them will result in large Republican losses in each the 2026 and 2028 elections. Until the 271 GOP lawmakers in Congress repudiate Trump’s insurance policies, it could additionally spell the top of the Republican Party.

I feel because the gun was being faraway from the nurse who was protesting, one of the ICE brokers was yelling “gun, gun.” Some brokers didn’t understand the gun was in their own palms and began capturing. They didn’t understand the gun was not in Alex Pretti’s hand.
It was a matter of confusion. This was unhappy and pointless, however Pretti was silly to convey his gun to protest.

Alex Pretti was holding his cellphone with one hand and utilizing the opposite to defend a lady being pepper-sprayed during a protest. An ICE agent took away Pretti’s licensed firearm, after which Pretti was shot not less than 10 instances. To hell with the Constitution, it appears.

The Issue: Arrests made in reference to the anti-ICE protest at a church in St. Paul, Minn.
I can’t help however touch upon the idiotic assertion made by Chauntyll Louisa Allen, the Black Lives Matter “activist” and, extremely, a member of the St. Paul Public Schools Board of Education (“Church storm trio busted,” Jan. 23).
She claimed to be impressed by Jesus Christ, saying: “When things weren’t going right in the church, he went in and he flipped tables.” No woman, Jesus didn’t “flip tables” in any church; he challenged spiritual leaders nonviolently in a synagogue. You know what else he didn’t do? He didn’t terrorize kids, however you probably did. Shame on you.

Although no one died, the raid on the Cities Church in St. Paul ought to nonetheless be thought-about an act of terrorism. Agitators spewed hate like bullets that may scar the terrified worshipers for all times.
Hate ought to by no means be allowed to take the pulpit, because the church is a hallowed place of religion, of hope, and of love.

Finally the agitators are being held accountable and hopefully punished.
