And as Oliver Kornetzke reminds us, while there's been strong reaction and even revulsion at the murders of these two white protestors, Good and Pretti, they are far from the only people killed by the regime pursuing immigrants and those in solidarity with them.
Kornetzke offers photos of the people of color who have met the same fate and whose murders have elicited less response.

"Pretti was trying to help a woman whom federal agents shoved violently to the ground. A fellow ICE observer, the woman flew a few feet through the air and landed hard; it had to hurt. 'Are you OK?' Pretti asked her, according to bystanders. Those were his last known words."

"We know the fascists don’t want white people standing up for immigrants and other people of color, who are the main victims of Operation Metro Surge (and all the other perversely named federal invasions, including Maine’s revolting 'Catch of the Day,' as though immigrants are fish to be caught and killed.) And apparently, they don’t want men coming to the aid of the women they assault."

"But it was not lost on Pretti’s devastated parents that he died 'while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper-sprayed,' they said in a statement. They wanted us to know that fact. 'Please get the truth out about our son,' they added. 'He was a good man.'
Alex Pretti was a good man at a time when very bad men are running our country."

"One of the images that continues to haunt me is the federal agent clapping in the split second after the execution of Alex Pretti at point-blank range. What kind of monster watches a man murdered with at least 10 bullets, then applauds? Not a shake of the head, not a moment of gravity about the taking of a human life, but clapping."

"A doctor who said they tried to attend to protester Alex Pretti after he was shot in Minneapolis has said that federal agents were not attempting to give the 37-year-old medical assistance and were instead counting the bullet holes in his body."
