Ted Cruz

And he was somehow murdered by ICE agents.

Well, there is new video that has come out showing the complete opposite of that narrative.

What we now know is that in new footage, Alex Preddy was armed, spitting at federal immigration officers and smashing the taillights of their black SUV during a psychotic clash more than a week before he was fatally shot by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis.

The video, which the BBC said is verified and has now gone viral, captured the ICU nurse yelling at agents while they were driving away during a heated January the 13th protest before booting the back of the car, prompting them to jump out and tackle him to the ground after knocking out their taillight.

The man, who was wearing similar clothes in the video to what Pretty had on when he was fatally shot last Saturday, was taken to the ground by at least five agents who deployed tear gas into the crowd during the wild confrontation.

Now, the hordes of agents continue to hold him down until he retreated and joined the crowd in shouting at the agents with a gun visibly tucked into the back of his pants.

Homeland Security Investigations is reviewing the newest footage of the 37-year-old's apparent prior brush with federal agents just day before the fatal shooting took place.

A spokesman for Preddy's devastated family and the family's attorneys have verified that the man in the video is Preddy.

That coming from the Minnesota Star Tribune.

A week before, Alex was gunned down the street despite posing no threat to anyone.

He was violently assaulted by a group of ICE agents is what the family attorney said in a statement to the Post.

Obviously, it doesn't match what you can literally see with your own eyes in the video.

Then this nothing that happened a full week before could possibly have justified Alex killing at the hand of ICE on January the 24th.

Now, Freddie was apparently known to federal authorities and had suffered a broken rib during that confrontation with agents 11 days before his death, is what CNN reported.

Federal officers pulled the loaded six-hour pistol from his waistband before the shooting took place.

DHS investigators believe an errant round from Freddie's own pistol after it was taken away from him may have prompted Border Patrol agents to then open fire.

Now, the deadly caught-on-camera incident has erupted when he wedged himself between a female protester and ICE officers and was tackled and disarmed by Border Patrol before two agents shot him dead in that fight.

The two federal immigration officers who fired their weapons at Pretty have been placed on administrative leave.

Now, that is standard protocol for agents involved in a shooting.

The Department of Homeland Security confirming that on Wednesday.
