Probable cause of violations of 52 USC 20701 (record retention) + 52 USC 20511 (fraudulent registrations/ballots). The factual basis is in a sealed affidavit, so we can’t see the “why” yet.

Appreciate the clarification. I was talking about the shooting moment: he appears to be disarmed in front of the shooter, then a shot into the pavement, then the volley. That’s why I’m focused on training/intent/decision-making in that second more than anything else.

The shooter sees him being disarmed and appears to have a hand on the disarming agent’s shoulder. Then the agent who disarms him is seen firing into the pavement, and shots immediately ensue. You can also see the agent who disarms him look back after firing Pretti's weapon into the pavement (source).

“By their fruits…” still applies. Who is narrating death, and who is sanctifying life? If the story reliably produces contempt, dehumanization, and trenches, it’s not Gospel-shaped, no matter how many times God’s name gets invoked.

White nationalist Nick Fuentes says that Alex Pretti was a "race traitor' and his killing by Border Patrol agents means there is "one less asshole in the world." https://www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwatch/one-less-asshole-world-nick-fuentes-says-alex-pretti-was-race-traitor

We need more evangelicals to speak up, publicly and clearly, when pastors normalize racial fear and wrap political domination in “Christian” language. I wrote up a case study with sources here: #1420192

This helped me think through the “serve without baptizing” boundary in more depth:

“Instead of doing either of those things [checking for a pulse / administering CPR], the ICE agents appeared to be counting his bullet wounds.”
