True. He was protecting a woman who had been violently shoved to the ground

I’m not sure what you expect them to do. Apparently @Strike thinks every DHS officer should have a MPD escort. Is that what you think as well? The chief clearly says they have 600 officers and there are thousands of DHS officers, it would be impossible to do that.

Yes @League Champion for one has made that claim. And in the tweet you posted, the question asked is “have they been ordered not to protect ICE,” and the response explains that the answer to that question is no.

He was defending a woman who was assaulted

According to DHS, they were targeting this guy at the time, and according to NY Post they did arrest him. His alleged criminal history has been debated by the MN DOC however. https://nypost.com/2026/01/24/us-news/feds-were-arresting-ecuadorian-illegal-alien-jose-huerta-chuma-in-operation-that-resulted-in-alex-jeffrey-prettis-death/

I think someone called out earlier that one of the agents appears to be pistol whipping him, so that could have been the gun that went off first

That still proves that the claim that “they’ve been ordered not to protect ICE” is a lie.

Silly me for thinking this douche may have actually had some common sense in him.

I can’t tell who has their gun unholstered or not but I’m not convinced that it was Pretti’s gun that discharged while being held by the agent moving away.

Did you listen to the clip? Whenever there is “a threat to someone’s life, public safety, or destruction of the city.”

But in the clip the chief says they do respond in that scenario, stop lying please

If ICE calls the PD requesting backup

Sounds to me like he’s saying they respond when called by ICE but that they’re not going to babysit them nor do they have the manpower to do so.

It’s part of a “social media footprint”

I see a LinkedIn page that is still up

A post with 72 views and 0 likes, lol.

I deleted my Twitter account, but do not see this claimed anywhere besides from you.

Link?

Not to mention they did in fact arrest him, according to the NY Post, so it’s not like he got away because of this incident. https://nypost.com/2026/01/24/us-news/feds-were-arresting-ecuadorian-illegal-alien-jose-huerta-chuma-in-operation-that-resulted-in-alex-jeffrey-prettis-death/

I think DHS killing a guy for filming them then trying to destroy the evidence is a little more unnerving, but maybe that’s just me

And was convinced the Palestinian student was the Brown shooter

Except they never even said they didn’t catch him because of this incident. Also:

Publicly, I believe he was ID’d because his family recognized him from the videos. That of course doesn’t mean DHS or the police didn’t already know who he was

Has the claim that Pretti was not carrying ID been verified by anyone other than DHS?

They’ve even already tried arguing that in court and lost
