How Many More Public Executions?

When “the Land of the Free” Becomes the Land of Fear. First it was Renée Good, now it’s Alex Pretti - and both were American citizens killed by federal agents on the streets of Minneapolis in the name of immigration enforcement. How many more innocent Minnesotans must be executed on public soil before this madness stops?

Renée Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, was fatally shot by an ICE agent on January 7, 2026 during a federal operation. She was in her car on a city street when she was struck by multiple gunshots. The killing sparked national protests, and eyewitness accounts and video contradicted official narratives about what happened.

Just weeks later, on January 24, 2026, another 37-year-old - ICU nurse Alex Pretti- was shot dead by a U.S. Border Patrol agent. Pretti was a lawful gun owner and veteran caregiver who had been documenting and protesting federal enforcement when he was tackled, surrounded by agents, and shot multiple times. Bystander footage shows him with a phone in hand, not a weapon, in the moments before he was killed - a version his family and witnesses insist is the truth.

I’m not American and I don’t live there, but I am very, very angry. You cannot murder your own people to get rid of immigrants. Just as people rose up after George Floyd’s death, we must speak up against indiscriminate force and the inhumane treatment of humans in a country once crowned the “land of the free.”

The brutal executions and the spinning of narratives to cover up the mess are appalling. Thousands of miles away, the unrest is felt. I cannot say I have fully rested since this American president took office. But like the old saying goes - when a clown moves into a palace, he doesn’t become a king. The palace becomes a circus. Need I say more? We used to say May Nigeria not happen to you. I think it’s time America gets the same prayer. Imagine being shot in broad daylight for helping a woman who was manhandled by federal agents. You cannot make America great by killing Americans.

These deaths are not abstract headlines. They are real people, real families, and a profound moral crisis.

You cannot make a nation “great” by killing its citizens under the guise of law enforcement. You cannot enforce humanity by stripping others of their own. And you most certainly cannot call yourself the “land of the free” when mothers, nurses, and everyday people are shot in the street without transparent accountability.

When a palace turns into a circus, it’s the innocent who get trampled.

And America - once a distant symbol of hope - now feels like a place where justice is too easily replaced by force.
