BREAKING: Two Border agents who were part of the group that interacted with Alex Pretti when he was killed, confirmed by their numbers NS-919 and NS-909, are in this video.

NS-919 was one of the main instigators of the Pretti encounter -- pushing the woman initially. Here is a clearer shot of him from allegedly days before Pretti died.

Slight correction: per NYT, one of the two officers who shot Alex Pretti is a "Border Patrol agent" and the other a "Customs and Border Protection officer", apparently a different position within DHS. 8/

Asking in case his assassination may have been pre-meditated by trump's death squad.

It's soooooo fucking obvious that a bunch of these nazis went to ICE directly from federal prison.

If we had some good investigative journalists, maybe that fact will come out.

I would not be surprised if the ICE applications were included with their pardon paperwork.

I am reading a good book called Lincoln's Peace that chronicles and opines that the Civil War didn't end with Lee, or Johnstons surrender, or the Juneteenth declaration.

The creation of the KKK directly mirrors this creation of the "new and massively funded" ICE-stapo.

For the Record, another borderline psychotic Republican "just mentioning" violence against Democrats:



Newsmax Host Ominously Warns ‘You People in Your Cities’ Who Are ‘Pushing the Party That Owns 90% of the Guns’

Newsmax host Carl Higbie went on a tirade on Friday after former President Donald Trump was convicted by a Manhattan jury the day before.

SNIP...

During Friday’s edition of Frontline on Newsmax, Higbie demanded congressional Republicans drop everything and go after those involved in Trump’s prosecution.

“Where the hell are you guys on this one?” he said. “Stop everything in Congress. Subpoena everyone. Don’t take summer recess. Don’t take weekends. Don’t even get up to go to the bathroom. Get in there and subpoena everyone. This judge, his daughter, everyone affiliated with anything ever, ever! I don’t care if we stop building bridges and highways and stop funding our government. You fight fire with fire. Otherwise, these Marxists are going to keep doing this.”

The host then called on Republican attorneys general to begin targeting Democrats. He also addressed the “tyrants” responsible for Trump’s prosecution and conviction:

I’m not just talking. You tyrants are about to awaken a machine you don’t want. You are pushing people to the edge. The same party that is offended by the wrong pronoun is pushing the party that owns 90% of the guns, of which, the majority defends our nation, who mine our minerals, who build our skyscrapers, and drive our trucks.

You weak people have no idea. You people in your cities with your white-shoe consultants, country clubs who thought prosecuting Trump was a good idea. You have never met America
.

Sort of spells out how we got here and what they have in store for their fellow citizens, meaning Democrats, liberals, free thinkers, people who believe in the Rights of Man, people who believe in equality, etc. etc. etc.

Would like to know what he yelled to his pack that got them so riled up against Pretti, though we can all imagine. If he had had an ounce of professional restraint Pretti wouldn't have been killed. He needs to do hard time, no question.
