While it’s impossible to know what Renee Good or Alex Pretti were thinking when they were shot in January by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, what is known is that their deaths could have been avoided if triggering events had not occurred.
And what is equally certain is that, in seeking political gain, Democrats such as the now-disgraced former Rep. Eric Swalwell suggested ICE officers picked innocent bystanders from a crowd to execute them “in cold blood.”
A similarly incendiary depiction was again extended to ICE agents deployed to assist TSA officers at airports, when Hakeem Jeffries absurdly said that doing so could potentially “brutalize or in some instances kill” passengers waiting to board flights.
In doing so, Democrats have turned the 1980s slogan “Just Say No” to reduce illicit drug use into their loaded catchphrase, “Just Say Murder,” to liken ICE agents more to Ted Bundy than to those protecting Americans from the “worst of the worst” illegal immigrants.
But that rhetoric stems not from any homicidal intent by ICE officers, but from progressive efforts to divert attention from the real cause of the Good and Pretti tragedies. For it was not ICE agents that led to their untimely deaths, but Democrats setting the stage for those fatalities.
Although multiple factors contributed to the Minneapolis tragedies framed as “murder” by progressives, the immediate cause of both fatalities was that both Good and Pretti voluntarily placed themselves in harm’s way.
By intentionally impeding ICE operations, Good parked her car perpendicular to the street, then struck an agent in front of her vehicle. Pretti confronted federal officers with a handgun, then resisted attempts to disarm him.
While those details are undeniable, their untimely deaths did not happen in a vacuum. Instead, at least four other factors made those tragedies almost inevitable.
Most certainly, the surge of poorly vetted migrants entering our nation during the Biden administration is inarguably the wellspring of those heartbreaking fatalities in Minneapolis. For without that flood of undocumented immigrants, there would be no need for major ICE operations, leading to the protests that Good and Pretti participated in.
So, any liberal anger directed at ICE agents or Trump for enforcing federal law is misplaced outrage that should be directed squarely at Biden’s open-border insanity.
