(20,163 posts)The Atlantic - "Six months after (Renee Good) and Alex Pretti were shot on the streets of Minneapolis, little has come of the probes into their killings."
"Nearly six months have passed since federal officers shot and killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti on the streets of Minneapolis. No one has been arrested, the Trump administration has provided no reason to believe that any serious investigation is taking place, and federal officials continue to stonewall state and local investigators in Minnesota."
"This inaction was predictable. The day after Goods death, Vice President Vance insisted at a press conference that the agent who shot her would face no criminal charges. 'That guy is protected by absolute immunity,' Vance told reporters. 'He was doing his job.' Soon, Stephen Miller doubled down on the message, announcing 'to all ICE officers' that 'you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties.' Federal agents apparently received the message: The next day, an ICE agent fired a gun into a Minneapolis home, wounding a Venezuelan immigrant, Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis. The week after that, Pretti was killed outside a doughnut shop. The Department of Homeland Security called him a 'domestic terrorist' and said that the officers who shot him had acted in self-defense."
