Bill Clinton Says Trump “Lied” About ICE Shooting That Killed Alex Pretti; “If We Give Our Freedoms Away After 250 years, We Might Never Get Them Back”

(L-R) Bill Clinton, anti-ICE protests Getty Bill Clinton has today condemned the killing of Alex Pretti by federal agents as “unacceptable” and warns the Trump administration’s dishonesty about the “horrible scenes” coming out of Minneapolis is a direct and possibly fatal threat to American democracy. At almost the same time, the current president Sunday wasted no time once again trying to put all the blame for the fatal ICE shootings of Pretti and Renee Good on “Democrat run Sanctuary Cities and States.” As the nation and the world reel from a chaotic immigration enforcement and abduction situation across America that seems to be going from bad to worse rapidly, the reaction to Pretti’s much filmed and documented January 24 death in the Minnesota city by masked ICE officers has proven a political, constitutional and moral flashpoint.

Key Highlights

  • Watch on Deadline “To make matters even worse, at every turn, the people in charge have lied to us, told us not to believe what we’ve seen with our own eyes, and pushed increasingly aggressive and antagonistic tactics, including impeding investigations by local authorities,” the 79-year-old Clinton wrote Sunday.
  • Previously falsely attacking Good for being the antagonist in the January 7 incident with ICE that resulted in the legal observer being shot in the face, Trump and top members of his administration have spent most of the last 24 hours trying to taint Pretti as a  “domestic terrorist” who was aiming to “massacre law enforcement.” Earning backlash from even the NRA, part of that narrative is contradicted by footage that shows Pretti, who is a registered gun owner and had a firearm on him on Saturday, holding a cell phone not a gun as he was pepper sprayed, struck and then shot repeatedly.
  • Flying the flag of “We the People,” Clinton bluntly concluded his posting: “Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come.
  • This is one of them.
  • If we give our freedoms away after 250 years, we might never get them back.” Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come.
