More of Trump’s campaign promises: Close the border; deport illegals/criminals
To the editor:
ICE and Border Security’s process of removing “terrorists, rapists, worst of the worst”, has resulted in the murdering of U.S. citizens. The Guardian reported at least 32 people died in ICE custody in 2025. That does not include Renee Good and Alex Pretti (and possibly others), as they were killed before apprehension. It probably includes the older man that was apprehended, then dropped off at a coffee shop. The federal agents when asked later why they dropped off a blind, non-English speaking elderly man that could not use technology, at a coffee shop in a northern state, in winter, they said, “he was taken somewhere warm.” This man was later found dead in the street, frozen to death.
In mid-February, the FBI determined it will deny its information and evidence to the Minnesota BCA on the Alex Pretti shooting. Doug Kelly, a former federal prosecutor for 52 years, stated this is unprecedented. Kelly said, the FBI and BCA have “always cooperated like hand in glove in so many dicey situations.” This has resulted in 12 Minnesota DOJ lawyers quitting. Minnesota’s DOJ no longer functions as evidenced by one DOJ lawyers quitting. Minnesota’s DOJ no longer functions as evidenced by one DOJ lawyer suggesting the judge hold them in contempt of court so they could get some sleep.
I will use my power of the vote on Nov. 3 to create a positive change.
