Trump just lit a 'green light' after another American killed in Minneapolis: legal expert

A legal expert issued a dire warning about how President Donald Trump's immigration officers are going to conduct themselves going forward after another American was killed while protesting in Minneapolis.

On Saturday, 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti was gunned down by a swarm of immigration officers. The Trump administration claimed Pretti presented a threat to the officer's lives and called him a "domestic terrorist." The administration also claimed Pretti brandished a weapon at officers, even though video from the scene clearly contradicts that claim.

Pretti's killing happened about three weeks after Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Jonathan Ross gunned down Renee Good in Minneapolis while she was leaving the scene of an immigration raid in her car. Good's killing sparked nationwide protests and calls for DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to be impeached.

Legal expert Ryan Goodman discussed Pretti's killing with former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann in a new YouTube video on Sunday.

"The response to the Alex Pretti incident is a green light," Goodman said. "It's a permission structure going forward, because we have the Secretary of Homeland Security calling Alex Pretti a domestic terrorist in her press conference, and it's the Department of Homeland Security's initial statement ... making these very false accusations against Pretti."
