An Open Letter
To: Sen. Budd, Sen. Tillis, Rep. Ross
From: A constituent in Raleigh, NC
January 25
Alex Pretti was executed by Border and Custom Patrol. ICE murdered Renee Good. Dozens of innocent people have been killed in ICE detention centers. ICE and Border Patrol have been shooting at us, injuring us, terrorizing us, and threatening us - "us" being US citizens and others here legally with NO criminal record - men, women, children, toddlers, veterans, police officers, and the elderly. They are killing us for peacefully using our 1st Amendment rights. They are falsely calling us "Domestic Terrorists", yet they call the people who stormed the Capitol on January 21, 2021 with their guns and poles and bats and smeared feces and guillotines "patriots". The Senate could stop Trump and every single person in his administration TODAY. Trump and his administration are continuing to LIE to the American people about we are seeing with our own eyes in broad daylight. Even with witness accounts and live videos, the Trump administration is trying to tell us that what we saw didn't happen. We don't believe them. The Senate must call for an immediate investigation of the execution of Mr. Pretti. He was an ICU nurse in a Veteran's hospital who had a license to carry his gun - but his gun was never drawn. It was in his back pocket. He was simply helping another woman who Border Patrol had pushed. And he was shot 10 times - one shot killed him and the other 9 shots were "just because". Then one agent laughed after seeing Mr. Prezzi was dead. The Senate must stop ICE from terrorizing and brutalizing innocent people. The ICE and Border Patrol murderers must be held accountable. The lies coming from the Trump administration must stop. ICE must NOT receive any more funding. Senators, either you stand with the American people or you stand with the Neo-Nazis who are controlling the Republican party. At this point, any senator who stands against the Trump regime is a hero - and how sad it is that we are now in a place where if a senator does the job they were elected to do (uphold the Constitution) they are considered a hero. Senators, you must stop ICE and Border Patrol and stop Trump and his regime. No one is safe in our country. And that includes your loved ones. Which is it, Senators? Will you stand FOR our country and our Constitution or will you stand for the Neo-Nazis? We are watching.
