Two US citizens are dead after being shot by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis. Renee Good, 37, was killed at the start of February when a federal agent shot her, with city officials stating the agent acted recklessly despite federal claims she tried to run over agents. On Saturday, Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse at the VA who had joined protests following Good's death, was fatally shot after being stopped by border agents. Video footage shows him being wrestled to the ground and then shot multiple times. These are not isolated incidents of poor judgment. These are extrajudicial killings of American citizens by federal agents operating under the direction of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Attorney General Pam Bondi. The deployment of 3,000 ICE agents to Minnesota as part of mass deportation operations has created a militarized environment where federal officers are killing citizens with impunity. I am calling on you to initiate impeachment proceedings against both Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi for their roles in these deaths. Noem has been directly criticized for her handling of ICE operations and her comments following Pretti's killing. The fact that President Trump felt compelled to replace US Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino with Tom Homan as the main point of contact demonstrates the severity of the operational failures under Noem's leadership. Beyond impeachment, individual ICE agents who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti must face criminal prosecution. Federal law enforcement officers do not have the authority to execute American citizens during immigration enforcement operations. The pattern of violence, including new footage showing an altercation between Pretti and federal officers 11 days before his death, suggests systemic problems requiring immediate congressional intervention. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has called for impartial investigations and the departure of federal forces. A federal judge has already imposed restrictions on ICE operations, ordering the immediate release of detained lawful refugees. Congress must act now to hold these officials accountable and prevent further deaths.
