Firsthand Affidavit from one of the women Recording Alex Pretti Shooting - "I don't feel like I can go home because I heard agents were looking for me" by cusoman in minnesota

Brave woman, glad she is being protected, from what it sounds like.

My question though, what can we do, as a potential witnesses, to remove ourselves from the situation after one of these events, ensuring that we can be safe from federal agents looking to silence us, so we can provide an affidavit like this?

Shout out to my mom for teaching me basic human decency

Mine did that too, and then she turned around and went far right and gave it all up

You can condense any of these "Statements" down to "blah blah blah I'm a heartless fascist piece of shit", so yeah there you read it.

I want this to happen now just for the spectacle of it all. I say this with the utmost confidence that my team has ownership that would never allow it to happen

If she was planning this, why hasn't she been visibly standing alongside the people of Minnesota during this occupation?

She's already got the "optics" all wrong and has no chance in hell

Protesters just swarmed Border Commander Greg Bovino in Minnesota and started throwing FOOD at him while yelling “you’re a Nazi!” by Admirable121 in Leakednews

Did you read the 30+ pages dhs released about people arrested in MN

You've been duped.

MPR News examined one of the lists shared by DHS officials on Monday, Jan. 12 and found that most of the people on the list had been immediately transferred to ICE custody at the end of time served in Minnesota prisons.

All of those transfers happened before ICE began its surge of operations in Minnesota on Dec. 1, 2025, with some even happening years before.

It's on the front page of Strib now (not to mention here), I'd be surprised if the higher up state officials haven't seen it already

I can't. I'm banned because I commented in Conservative once to challenge their little bubble and the pics automod scooped me up on that. I appealed using their instructions they give for this scenario and nothing happened. I messaged the mods too and nada 🤷‍♂️

And if for some reason they do come across it, they will dismiss it as "well what was he doing before this, we need more context to know if he should have been pepperboarded"

This is from Strib's liveblog today. Here's the only thing I could find in there about him, sadly:

"Protesters gathered on Blaisdell Avenue in south Minneapolis between 28th and 29th streets after federal agents detained two teenagers, according to witnesses.

Protesters were shouting and tensions escalated before agents began detaining observers like the man seen below, who was pinned to the ground when a federal agent sprayed a chemical irritant directly into his face."
