GA SR605

Condemns the killing of Alex Pretti, a Minnesota resident and VA hospital ICU nurse, by U.S. Border Patrol agents on January 24, 2026, during a protest in Minneapolis against Trump Administration immigration policies.

Asserts that Pretti was engaged in peaceful protest and lawfully carrying a handgun under Minnesota law, with video footage showing agents deployed pepper spray and forced him to the ground prior to his death.

Criticizes Trump Administration officials, including Stephen Miller and Secretary Kristi Noem, for justifying the killing based solely on lawful firearm possession and labeling Pretti a "terrorist."

Reaffirms First Amendment rights to peaceful assembly and Second Amendment rights to keep and bear arms, citing Supreme Court decisions in Heller and Bruen.

Calls on all elected officials to reject rhetoric equating peaceful protest or lawful firearm possession with terrorism, and commits to protecting these constitutional rights from abuse by federal immigration enforcement agencies.
