During today’s press conference, Border Czar Tom Homan blamed the murder of Alex Pretti by ICE agents on political rhetoric against the masked secret police during his press conference and not on those culpable for his death: Agents working for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.
Homan is not a calming influence, and Minnesotans will treat him like everyone else Trump has sent who is responsible for this horrific act. With anger and disdain for the chaos, fear, and violence they have brought to their cities.
Trying to appear to be a soothsayer, you’d think it was an ICE agent who was assaulted, thrown to the ground by an angry mob, punched, kicked, and then shot ten times, who Gov. Walz riled up.
HOMAN: Again, with the agreements we’ve achieved and following through these agreements, with the rhetoric dropping down, that allows us to pull more agents out once we feel the environment is safer.
I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop.
I said in March if the rhetoric didn’t stop, there was going to be bloodshed and there has been.
I wish I wasn’t right.
I don’t want to see anybody die.
Not officers, not members of the community, and not the targets of our operations.
For the people out there who don’t like what ICE is doing, if you want certain laws reformed, then take it up with Congress.
Again, ICE is making this up.
They’re enforcing laws enacted by Congress and signed by the President.
