Consider the border Alex Pretti crossed on Jan. 24, on a street in Minneapolis, as he stepped between some U.S. Border Patrol agents and the woman they had just pushed down. He crossed the border that separates ordinary people from the federal Proud Boys (or whoever they are), the masked invaders who were occupying the city to enforce The Law.

In so doing, they both went from being ordinary citizens to “domestic terrorists.”

By contrast, Republicans have almost uniformly backed Trump’s priorities. Indeed, the gap between the two parties on most key issues has been enormous.
Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse and Minneapolis resident, was shot and killed by federal immigration agents during what authorities described as a lawful enforcement action. Witnesses and video footage tell a more disturbing story, one of confusion, escalation, and lethal force used against a civilian attempting to intervene. Days earlier, Renée Nicole Good, also a U.S. citizen, was killed in another ICE-related encounter. In both cases, official narratives arrived quickly. In both cases, many residents rejected them just as quickly.
Dr. Walter L. Smith, Florida A&M University’s seventh president and president emeritus, died on Thursday, Nov. 25, in Tampa. He was 86.
