WASHINGTON(AP) The men tasked with carrying out President Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda were made to watch a video of the shooting death of Alex Pretti in a slow, moment-by-moment analysis on Thursday by Sen. Rand Paul, who repeatedly cast doubt on the tactics used by federal officers and warned that the American public had lost trust in the country's immigration agencies.
It was a tense confrontation at a Senate hearing that was called to scrutinize the immigration chiefs as they carry out one of Trump's signature policy and after the deaths of two protesters in Minneapolis over recent weeks at the hands of federal officers.
Paul, who paused the video every few seconds to explain his interpretation of the events, argued that Pretti posed no threat to the officers and questioned why the situation culminated in the ICU nurse's death.
He is retreating at every moment, said Paul, speaking of Pretti's behavior while officers pepper-sprayed him. Hes trying to get away and hes being sprayed in the face.

(3,245 posts)that Pretti and Good were protestors. From what I've seen in the videos, they were not. Good was a legal observer on her way home when she encounterd an ICE roadblock. Pretti was fliming an ICE interaction from a distance. He only moved in to help a woman who had been knocked to the pavement. Depicting the two as prostestors suggests that perhaps they were actively confronting ICE operatives. They were not. One was helping a fellow human being. One was simply trying to get home.
