I was thankful to serve as a special guest this evening at the Hampton NAACP Rise for Justice: Minneapolis Vigil For the Innocent, where members of the Clergy, elected officials and concerned citizens joined together to mourn the tragedies in Minneapolis

ICE and CBP have demonstrated a pattern of civil rights abuses and excessive enforcement in Minnesota.   DHS has made our communities less safe.   I joined @reptedlieu.bsky.social and fellow Veterans calling for ICE and CBP to stand down.

Today, 15 Democratic veterans are calling for a stand down of ICE and CBP interior operations following the second killing by federal agents of an American citizen in Minnesota.
15 DEMOCRATIC VETERANS DEMAND ICE AND CBP INTERIOR OPERATIONS STAND DOWN Representatives Ted Lieu, Salud Carbajal, Gil Cisneros, Herb Conaway, Jason Crow, Chris DeLuzio, Maggie Goodlander, Chrissy Houlahan, Seth Moulton, Jimmy Panetta, Pat Ryan, Bobby Scott, Mike Thompson, Derek Tran, and Eugene Vindman issued the following statement:
As veterans, we are outraged and horrified by the killing of a second civilian in Minneapolis by federal agents in less than three weeks. Border Patrol agents shot and killed 37-year-old American citizen Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. Video footage and eyewitness accounts of this incident are deeply disturbing and raise serious questions about the use of force. This tragic killing comes on the heels of the fatal shooting of Renée Good earlier this month, and multiple other documented incidents of civil-rights abuses and excessive enforcement by ICE and CBP in Minnesota – demonstrating a pattern of misconduct that has fractured trust and terrified communities. In the military, when preventable deaths occur, leaders stand down operations to review/change policies, reassess missions, retrain personnel, and implement stronger safety protocols. The Department of Homeland Security must do no less. Our communities are less safe, and tensions have reached a boiling point. For these reasons, we call for an immediate stand down of ICE and CBP interior enforcement operations and demand the resignation of the Secretary of Homeland Security. Current leadership has failed to protect civil liberties, ensure accountability, or maintain the public trust. We also demand full, transparent, independent investigations into these deaths and abuses, and decisive steps to prevent further civilian killings at the hands of federal agents.

Ms. Good's death and the smear campaign that followed show a dangerous willingness by this administration to excuse lethal force and mislead the public rather than be transparent. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...
Federal officials investigating Renee Good's partner, sources say
The federal investigation into the fatal shooting by an ICE officer has focused in part on Good’s partner, including whether she may have impeded a federal officer moments before he fired, sources say...

Despite clear video evidence and eyewitness accounts, federal officials falsely labeled her a "domestic terrorist” and are investigating her widow rather than the ICE agent who killed her. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

This isn’t just about one person, it's part of a broader pattern of federal officials disparaging victims instead of taking responsibility. This is the same playbook used earlier this month in the killing of Renée Good, a devoted mother and U.S. citizen shot and killed by an ICE agent.
Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govJan 25(source)
Alex Pretti was a US citizen & ICU nurse with no criminal history beyond minor traffic infractions, known by colleagues and loved ones as kind, competent, and devoted to caring for veterans. To deny him dignity in death and misrepresent what happened is reprehensible. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
ICU nurse fatally shot by federal agent remembered as 'kind-hearted soul'
The 37-year-old nurse cared deeply about the veterans he cared for and the community he lived, his family and relatives of his patients say.
Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govJan 25(source)
Civilian footage shows him holding a phone and not brandishing a weapon in the moments before he was pepper-sprayed, wrestled to the ground, and fatally shot by Border Patrol agents. His family has called the administration’s narrative “sickening lies.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
Timeline: How the Shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti Unfolded (Gift Article)
A moment-by-moment analysis of video from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when fatal shots were fired, which appears to contradict the federal government’s account of the event.

Scott Statement on Reports of Federal Agents Shooting and Killing an Individual in Minneapolis

This latest incident underscores the urgent need for Congress to exercise robust oversight over federal immigration enforcement operations, including clear standards for use-of-force, training, and accountability mechanisms.
Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govJan 24(source)
My thoughts are with the individual’s family, loved ones, and all those directly affected by this tragedy. Every life lost is a profound loss, and no community should be placed in a position of fear during law enforcement actions.
Congressman Bobby Scott@bobbyscott.house.govJan 24(source)
I am closely monitoring the situation as details continue to emerge. It is critical that there be a thorough, transparent and independent investigation to establish the facts and ensure accountability.

It was an honor to join Mayor Phillip Jones, Pastor Fred Michaux and Pastor Vanessa Michaux last evening at the 20th Anniversary of uNNity, which brings city leaders and church partners together to serve the community
