Thanks for having me.

So on Saturday morning, Alex Preddy, as you mentioned, an ICU nurse who worked at a VA hospital in Minneapolis, he was shot and killed by Border Patrol agents.

He was one of several people who were filming agents at the time while they were conducting enforcement operations.

That's become a very common practice in Minneapolis in recent weeks.

The videos quickly were shared online about the shooting and show Pretty holding up his phone and recording agents.

At one point, one of them pushes a woman who was standing near Pretty to the ground.

Pretty could be seen then trying to help her and lead her away when he's pepper sprayed and taken to the ground.

He's surrounded by Border Patrol agents and then one of them eventually opens fire, killing him.

Now, local and federal officials both say that Preddy had a gun on him while he was filming federal agents that morning.

Brian O'Hara, the police chief in Minneapolis, said he has a concealed carry permit.

No videos show him pulling out a gun before he was tackled to the ground, and it appears his gun was removed before officers began firing.

Now, Preddy's death, of course, comes less than three weeks after

An ICE agent shot and killed Renee Good in her car, and it reignited protests in Minneapolis, as well as renewed calls for immigration agents to leave the city and the Trump administration to end the deployment there.

Border Patrol leadership, as well as top Trump administration officials to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and others quickly labeled Freddie a domestic terrorist.

They said that he had brought a gun to the protests to kill and

even massacre law enforcement.

Videos, of course, contradict these statements.

And again, there's no evidence that he took out his gun or reached for it before it was taken away.

Freddie also has no criminal history.

But in the last 24 hours, federal officials have continued to defend the agents involved.
