He wasn't a domestic terrorist. A domestic terrorist was the Oklahoma City bomber. This was a VA nurse looking out for his neighbors.
I certainly won't be.
For those asking where we go from here: Not voting to fund ICE is a great place for us to start.

Minnesota’s Congressional Democrats are united. We’re speaking with one voice to condemn the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti and to demand that ICE, DHS, and CBP agents leave our state immediately.
Another catastrophic shooting in Minneapolis by federal agents.
We are gathering more information, but ICE must leave now so MPD can secure the scene and do their jobs.
Journalists and bystanders are capturing what JD Vance really doesn’t want us to see.
Is this the country we want to live in?
What made the child a threat JD? Was it the floppy ears or the Spider Man backpack?

My power is my vote as a Senator, and I’m not voting to send an extra dollar in funding to ICE/DHS while they trample on Minnesotans like this.
Where is our humanity? Where have our shared values of gone? How can we justify using a little boy in a bunny hat and Spider Man backpack as bait?
You may have voted for the President under the guise that he was only going after thugs and criminals. He lied to you.
This family did every single thing they’ve been asked to in order to seek asylum here.
Yet in less than 24 hours, this kid and his Dad were nabbed off our streets and sent to Texas, using tactics that can only be described as pure evil.

American citizens do not need to “prove” their identity to ICE agents to avoid arrest and detention.
Unconstitutional.

A U.S. citizen dragged out of his home, barely clothed, into the cold.
A 5-year-old detained on his way home from preschool.
This is the reality of what ICE is doing with their $75 billion budget. Wouldn’t this be better spent on health care?
ICE is detaining preschoolers. They’re breaking windows, stealing people out of their homes, forcing a U.S. citizen to walk in his underwear in freezing temperatures to a detention facility.
This isn’t the way it has to be if Congress actually exerts its muscle and says no to more ICE funding.
To any colleagues who don't see a problem with what ICE is doing in Minnesota: What's it going to take? When is enough, enough?

“the agent took the child out of the still-running car, led him to the door and directed him to knock on the door asking to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home, essentially using a 5-year-old as bait.”
Agents later took the father and child away in a vehicle and sent them to Texas

The Columbia Heights school district says ICE detained four of its students, including a 5-year-old boy, as "bait" to draw out family members.
Terrorizing our kids is not going to make our communities safer. ICE needs to end this surge in Minnesota – and I refuse to vote to send more funding to DHS and ICE when they continue to trample on the rights of Minnesotans and make our communities less safe.
