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/...

Multiple independent video recordings contradict claims by the Trump administration that Mr. Pretti was armed and posed an imminent threat. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
That a court had to intervene to ensure compliance with the law is a sad testament to how far this administration is willing to go to shield federal agents from scrutiny and accountability. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...
I congratulate Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison for securing a federal court order requiring DHS/ICE to preserve evidence and stop obstructing justice in the investigation of the killing of Alex Pretti. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...
All Americans deserve to know that constitutional rights and human life are being respected.

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.
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.
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.
I am saddened and deeply concerned by reports that a person was shot and killed today in Minneapolis during an encounter with federal law enforcement agents, including ICE, amid the ongoing immigration enforcement operations in the city.
Man shot by federal agents has died, police chief says

The EEOC just quietly eliminated critical guidance that helped employers maintain harassment-free workplaces and safeguard employees on the job.
In November, @bobbyscott.house.gov warned the EEOC about the consequences of rescinding this guidance. ⤵️

Americans have witnessed deeply troubling abuses of authority by ICE. Republicans failed to work with Democrats to hold ICE accountable so I'm voting NO on the FY26 DHS funding bill.
Enjoyed visiting with friends at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Kickback Jazz event

I mourn the passing of Dr. Gladys West, a trailblazing Virginian whose groundbreaking work in mathematics helped lay the foundation for GPS. Her brilliance, perseverance, and service to science helped change the world. Her legacy will endure.
