I reject the idea that enforcing border laws is comparable to the systematic genocide of over 6,000,000 Jews.

And what of the many non Jews that were targeted? We cannot ignore history and the similarities of what is currently occurring in the USA. It’s time to rip the mask off and face the facts of what is happening, there is nothing humane about the actions of ICE and those who have unleashed the chaos on the people of the USA.

There is no "humanitarian duty" to interfere with federal immigration officers who are following the law and arresting illegal immigrants. The humanitarian duty would have been to never encourage millions of people to enter our country illegally.

But do they all have warrants signed by a judge? That's a question I'd like a definitive answer to...it's important, according to The Constitution.

And having to carry your birth certificate and/or passport for ID. A regular driver's license just not good enough, not even a Real ID which can get you on a plane and even inside a nuclear facility.

If you don't have ID they're happy with, you get carted away to mostly out of state places for who knows how long. And this is happening to citizens. Wouldn't anybody resist and speak up for themselves or others, especially if they started roughing you or some other unfortunate person up? I certainly would.

I'd say, IMO, until well trained real LE who know that people have rights and respect that show up, it is a humanitarian issue to being very concerned about...as an American. AJMO

The humanitarian duty would have been to never encourage millions of people to enter our country illegally.

Do you think, for the majority of them, that they just decided to get up and immigrate here just because they felt like it? No, it's because their countries are unstable and lack economic opportunities. The U.S is partly to blame given its long history of interference in Latin American affairs. Yes, there are bad people among them and open borders isn't a solution.

But what Trump is doing is criminal but that's who he is. ICE needs to be abolished whether you like it or not. They're murdering innocents. It's a shame and a stain on our country that immigration reform hasn't been en-acted.

Moo....this has happened a few times. The powers that be make a statement before they have any info or video. Like FBI detaining wrong shooter. Just weird they keep making the same mistake. The powers lied before they had information.

Moo...they are getting a $50,000 sign up bonus...and a lot of small print. Hell lots of people are going to apply. Not every one that applied and got work is going to want to be an enforcer some probably do not even like or agree with their work environment. As usual it is the management that is the problem...moo

If Trump won't do it, the government need to rally and stop ICE operations immediately until a full investigation occurs. This interaction is more evidence of how unhinged the behaviours of some of these ICE agents are, and how dangerous it is to arm and deploy agents like this, releasing them on the community with this type of attitude and 'god complex' IMO.

With this video going public, in a democratic society you would immediately see him withdrawn from duty, investigated and possibly fired, even if only for the risk he might bring to the government. Will be interesting to see how the government responds.

That guy was seconds away from attack mode, you could see it in his eyes, right on the edge.

Neither do his online army of right wing trolls and especially the NRA after Pretti's MURDER. The NRA accused him of inserting himself with those murderous ICE thugs. I can't believe they're going against what their very own Charlie Kirk said.

Moo... The new masked ice, does not look cool. The world is kinda saying.. what are you doing

Moo... I spent time in a south American country decades ago that had martial law. They were pretty polite, want to check my backpack no problem. Going thru check points always have booze or cash available. The citizens learned to adapt...

If we can call a review an investigation. (as per this post)

Post in thread 'MN - Alex Pretti dead after Minneapolis shooting involving immigration agents, US media report, January 24, 2026'

Yesterday at 7:42 AM

The Trump administration appeared to acknowledge on Monday that its investigation into the killing of a Veterans Affairs nurse, Alex Pretti, by federal agents this weekend was limited to a “use of force” review meant to establish whether government employees had violated training standards.

Such a move, disclosed in court filings, would represent a much narrower inquiry focused on tactics and conduct than one that would examine whether federal agents should face criminal charges....
