I thought these were supposed to be "targeted" raids, meaning they already know the individual person they are after and what they are going to do about it.

Looks like "targeted" raids actually mean they can scoop up any random brown person they see on the street fishing for a hit.

not quite that. they need "reasonable suspicion."
https://www.aol.com/news/tom-homan-describes-ice-requires-004332898.html

The reason for the lower standard is that the ultimate objective is not a criminal prosecution, but rather a deportation.

This is pretty simple - The more illegal aliens you have, the more deportations you have. And in deportations you have, the more deportation operations you have to run. The more deportations operations you run, the more encounters you are going to have with US citizens. There is a really neat trick to minimize the number of times that happens - DON'T LET ILLEGAL ALIENS INTO THE COUNTRY IN THE FIRST PLACE.

I agree 100% with the bolded.

I don't agree with "fishing" just because you see a brown person. Being brown is not reasonable suspicion and that is the bar right now. Not good enough.

I agree, but there's no evidence whatsoever that all brown people are being targeted for questioning and/or detention. Just a statistically insignificant number of people who happen to be wrong place, wrong time. Very reasonable error rate.

Squeal if you want, but you're making it all up just so you can pat yourself on the back for caring about the "noble savage."

I'm not making up anything; I am observing the same thing over and over. I don't care about noble savages; I do care about American Citizens and legal immigrants who in larger numbers than you wish to admit are being approached for no reason other than the color of their skin. You can ignore it, but it's happening in cities more than you want to believe, it has happened in Texas in the Austin area.

Unless DHS has an order or warrant for your removal I don't believe you should be able to be approached. Fishing for illegals is no good.

The Colorado Sun reported that ICE agents have been leaving Ace of Spades playing cards famous since at least the Vietnam War as death cards on cars left behind after drivers and passengers have been detained by ICE in Colorado.

The Sun reported that "family and friends who went to retrieve the vehicles, left abandoned on Highway 6, found the cards, which were printed with contact information for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Aurora."

The Sun also reported that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, under DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, "said via email Friday that ICE is investigating the situation and 'unequivocally condemns this type of action and/or officer conduct.'"


Noem finally does the right thing here. I give her some credit for it.

The more deportations the higher the bonuses ICE gets... We have monetized law enforcement. Sorry, Administrative serving of ICE Warrants.

Thank you ABC. As my Dad used to always tell me, "If you go looking for trouble, you will surely find it.". Hopefully Tom Homan can cool things off. I still cannot comprehend the Left's efforts to protect and harbor convicted murderers, rapists, and drug dealers.
Call it a tax, the people are outraged! Call it a tariff, the people get out their checkbooks and wave their American flags!!!

Again...isn't this trespassing on private property? Why doesn't the hotel kick them out? It's got to be hurting their business.

The protesters can't agree on their messaging. Maybe it's a mixed bag of paid professional protesters and unpaid protesters.

They don't kick them out because the hotel staff is outnumbered and probably not very "forceful" type people and the police probably only show up to make sure it isn't violent but will do nothing about it on orders from higher ups.

Lol love it.

I find it funny/interesting that I haven't seen much coverage about this incident.

Seems like it could be a newsworthy story but it seems to be ignored by many media outlets….. I wonder why?

Wow...if they broke his ribs and still had to shoot him, he must be twice the menace we thought. Let's hope he doesn't come back as a zombie and start violently helping women to their feet again.

No worries on the political front. We've been assured that all the executions by ICE will easily be found justified.

Read the DHS report on the shooting of Alex Pretti

Quote:
The following is the text of the report from the Customs and Border Protection's Office of Professional Responsibility on the shooting of Alex Pretti:

"The following statement pertains to an in-custody death that occurred on Saturday, January 24, 2026, in Minneapolis, MN. This information is based on a preliminary review by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) Investigative Operations Directorate (IOD) and may be updated and clarified as additional details become available. It is being provided to Committee staff concurrently with CBP senior leadership to ensure timely reporting. CBP OPR IOD established the following information and timeline based on a preliminary review of body worn camera footage and CBP documentation.

On January 24, 2026, United States Border Patrol (USBP) Border Patrol Agents (BPAs) and Customs and Border Protection Officers (CBPOs) supporting Operation Metro Surge were conducting enforcement actions near the intersection of Nicollet Ave. and 26th St. in Minneapolis, MN. Several civilians were in the area yelling and blowing whistles. BPAs and CBPOs made several verbal requests for the civilians to stay on the sidewalks and out of the roadway.

At approximately 9:00 a.m., a CBPO was confronted by two female civilians blowing whistles. The CBPO ordered the female civilians to move out of the roadway, and the female civilians did not move. The CBPO pushed them both away and one of the females ran to a male, later identified as 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a US citizen.

The CBPO attempted to move the woman and Pretti out of the roadway. The woman and Pretti did not move. The CBPO deployed his oleoresin capsicum (OC) spray towards both Pretti and the woman.CBP personnel attempted to take Pretti into custody. Pretti resisted CBP personnel's efforts and a struggle ensued.

During the struggle, a BPA yelled, "He's got a gun!" multiple times. Approximately five seconds later, a BPA discharged his CBP-issued Glock 19 and a CBPO also discharged his CBP-issued Glock 47 at Pretti. After the shooting, a BPA advised he had possession of Pretti's firearm. The BPA subsequently cleared and secured Pretti's firearm in his vehicle.At approximately 9:02 a.m.,

CBP personnel cut Pretti's clothing and provided medical aid to him by placing chest seals on his wounds. At approximately 9:05 a.m., Minneapolis Fire Department Emergency Medical Services (MFD EMS) emergency medical technicians (EMTs) arrived and assumed primary medical care for Pretti.At approximately 9:14 a.m., MFD EMTs placed Pretti in an MFD EMS ambulance and he was subsequently transported to Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC). At approximately 9:32 a.m., HCMC medical personnel pronounced Pretti deceased.CBP OPR IOD was advised that an autopsy would be conducted by medical personnel from the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office. CBP OPR IOD will request the official findings upon completion.Homeland Security Investigations is investigating the incident and CBP OPR IOD is reviewing it. The Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General was notified."
