Yeshidagna is part of a coalition of student groups that organized the #Minnesota shutdown last Friday, in which thousands of people flooded the streets in sub-zero temperatures & hundreds of businesses shut their doors to demand #justice for #ReneeGood, who was shot by an #ICE agent while trying to protect a neighbor. Last weekend, agents killed #AlexPretti, another resident who was observing agents’ activities.

The student groups – including the associations representing Black, Somali, Liberian, Ethiopian & Eritrean students & the graduate #labor #union – first gathered on 21 January to plan the calls for local & national #strikes. “We came out in huge numbers despite the cold,” he said, referencing last week’s actions. “We are now doing it again.”

Those deaths include #ReneeGood & #AlexPretti in #Minneapolis, #KeithPorter in #LosAngeles, & #SilverioVillegasGonzález in #Illinois. Friday’s #national #protest leaders, many of them students at the University of #Minnesota, are calling for #ICE to leave the city after its nearly month-long operation. They say economic pressure through work stoppages & consumer boycotts is just one way to demand #accountability & #reform.

“We are calling for this #strike because we believe what we have been doing in Minnesota should go national,” said Kidus Yeshidagna, president of the Ethiopian Students Union at the University of #Minnesota & one of the students organizing the strike.

“We need more people & lawmakers across the country to wake up.”

2 federal agents shot #AlexPretti, initial government review reveals
The review makes no mention of Pretti brandishing a weapon, contradicting initial comments from the #Trump admin about the killing.

MN DOC officials also published videos showing peaceful transfers of custody from prison to #federal authorities of several individuals the #Trump admin had claimed were arrested by #immigration agents as part of the ongoing immigration enforcement action.

The department also issued a news release trying to dispel federal claims about the criminal records of people sought by federal agents, including the person at the center of an operation Saturday near where Pretti was shot.

The release said the MN DOC never had custody of the man & could only find decade-old misdemeanor traffic-related violations. US #BorderPatrol Chief Gregory #Bovino had claimed at a news conference Saturday that the man had a significant criminal history.

The #Trump admin has once again immersed the #US in a crisis. The officers who are supposed to be protecting America’s borders have again been unleashed on an American city—this time, #Minneapolis. The authorities in #Minnesota want the #CBP & #ICE forces to leave; the US govt’s response has been to continue to allow them to operate without any limits.

These agents are now behaving like a roving mob, a riot squad in balaclavas desperately in search of a riot—& for the 2nd time in 17 days, they have killed one of the US citizens protesting their #PoliceState behavior.

#Federal officials released images of a handgun they said #AlexPretti was carrying. The #Minneapolis police chief said he had a valid firearms permit. Open carry is legal with a permit in #Minnesota.

#BorderPatrol agents shot & killed a 37-year-old man in #Minneapolis yesterday. The victim, #AlexPretti, was an intensive care #nurse at a #VeteransAffairs hospital. He was a #US #citizen, the Minneapolis police chief said.

Timeline: How the Shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti Unfolded

A moment-by-moment analysis of video from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when fatal shots were fired, which appears to contradict the federal government’s account of the event.

After viewing that last video, I can’t do more today.

He was taking video on his phone then tried to help another fellow human who had been violently pushed to the ground by #ICE. The “agents” then pepper sprayed him directly in the face, & once he was down on the ground shot him at least 5 times until he was dead. He never drew a weapon.

This is a murderous government.

I am afraid.

Take care of yourselves.

Took a necessary mental health break, but every news out seems to agree with our/my original analysis,

Multiple videos show federal officer disarmed 37-year-old ICU nurse #AlexPretti before fatally shooting him.
