Alex Pretti was a 37 year old ICU Nurse. Alex was just murdered for filming ICE and protecting his neighbors.

And because he had a legal firearm securely tucked away while shielding them from pepper spray, 2A supporters will say he deserved to die.

He did not.

Abolish. ICE.

#AlexPretti

Kidnapped in Minneapolis.
Used as bait.
5 yr. old #LiamRamos has reportedly been taken to TX detention facility by terrorist group I C E.

I should be drawing my own 5 year old, just for fun… not someone else’s that this administration is using as a pawn in their game of cosplay-confederacy
