JD Vance condemns engineered chaos in

JD Vance has hit out at the response to ICE operations in Minneapolis after the capturing of a U.S. citizen by a federal agent on Saturday.

The vice president took to X to slam residents over the “engineered chaos” in the aftermath of the capturing. “This level of engineered chaos is unique to Minneapolis,” he wrote.

“It is the direct consequence of far left agitators, working with local authorities.” His feedback have been swiftly met with customers calling him out. “What is wrong with you?” requested one particular person among many, exhibiting a deep divide on the matter across the U.S.

Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care unit nurse, was shot and killed on Saturday after allegedly approaching federal brokers.

The Department of Homeland Security said officers took a 9mm handgun from Pretti at the scene and fired in self-defense. “The officers attempted to disarm the suspect, but the armed suspect violently resisted,” the company said in a assertion.

Pretti was a legal gun proprietor with a allow, said Minneapolis police. According to court data, he had no fees in the state, only visitors and parking infractions.

Vance shared a Truth Social post from President Donald Trump that included a photograph of what was said to be Pretti’s gun. “The Mayor and Governor are inciting Insurrection, with their pompous, dangerous, and arrogant rhetoric,” Trump wrote, referring to Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Governor Tim Walz.

“When I visited Minnesota, what the ICE agents wanted more than anything was to work with local law enforcement so that the situations on the ground didn’t get out of hand,” said Vance. “The local leadership in Minnesota has so far refused to answer those requests.”

This tweet also drew a harsh response. “Let me get this straight. He didn’t brandish his gun, he didn’t reach for his gun and you’re saying he was killed for practicing his 2ND AMENDMENT CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO CARRY A GUN?” requested one particular person. “Are you f—ing serious?”

Pretti’s dad and mom, Michael and Susan Pretti, disputed the federal government’s claims that their son was a risk to federal brokers.

“The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting,” the dad and mom said, including that “he was a good man.” Pretti started taking part in protests against immigration enforcement after an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Good, a mom of three, earlier this month.

“He cared about people deeply, and he was very upset with what was happening in Minneapolis and throughout the United States with ICE, as millions of other people are upset,” Michael Pretti told the Associated Press.

The father and son even had a dialog about staying protected during protests. “We had this discussion with him two weeks ago or so, you know, that go ahead and protest, but do not engage, do not do anything stupid, basically,” said Michael Pretti. “And he said he knows that. He knew that.”
