That person's name was Alex Preddy. According to NBC News, a federal immigration agent shot and killed the 37-year-old Minneapolis man on Saturday. This, of course, is the second shooting after the shooting of Renee Good, who was the woman who attempted to obstruct federal law enforcement and then hit an agent with her car before being shot. The man, again, identified by family as Alex Preddy, was an intensive care nurse. The circumstances around his final moments were caught on multiple angles on video. We're going to go through all of the details and try to determine culpability, legal and moral. We're also going to go through why it is that the left continues to ramp up this chaos. They are doing this on purpose.

Blue states, sanctuary cities, sanctuary states are not doing that. That is what necessitates more boots on the ground from the federal government in these areas. And then local and state politicians have been going out there and suggesting that this amounts to a Gestapo-like occupation. They've been driving their own supporters out into the streets. Some of those supporters are then obstructing federal law enforcement, committing federal crimes. When that happens, the likelihood of terrible incidents goes way up. That is the simple logic, and that appears to be something that left-wing politicians want, that they are desperate for.
