MIDDLEBORO REVIEW AND SO ON


IF REPUBLICANS DIDN'T LIE, NO ONE WOULD ELECT THEM! 

THIS STILL HOLDS TRUE! PROVE ME WRONG!

MASS GOP CANDIDATES FORMED OPINIONS WITH NO INFORMATION...

JUST BLIND OBEDIENCE TO TRUMP'S FAILED POLICIES.

ICE GESTAPO HIRED WITH NO BACKGROUND CHECKS, LIMITED TRAINING 

AND NO CONSTITUTIONAL PROHIBITIONS  - LIKE YOU CAN'T INVADE 

HOMES AND BREAK DOWN DOORS - INCLUDING INVADING IN THE MIDDLE 

OF THE NIGHT AS THEY DID IN CHICAGO.

Have any single MASS GOP calculated the cost of this IRRATIONAL FIASCO? 

Check the statistics. They are not arresting DANGEROUS CRIMINALS. 

Do you even know how many are in CONCENTRATION CAMPS that are unsuitable 

for human habitation? OVERFLOWING TOILETS with FECES on the floors, food 

with maggots when it's even available, no health care for emergency treatments...

HOW MANY HAVE DIED IN ICE GESTAPO CUSTODY? WHY? BEATING? 

TORTURE? CHOKEHOLDS? 

There was a  arecent article about ICE GESTAPO using BANNED CHOKEHOLDS....

Did a single MASS GOP TRUMPER read that report?


MASS GOP BABBLE SIMILAR PROPAGANDA IGNORING VIDEO EVIDENCE 

AND TRUMP'S OPPOSITION TO A COURT ORDER PROHIBITING THE DESTRUCTION 

OF EVIDENCE! 

DID ANY OF THEM VIEW THE VIDEOS? DO THEY EVEN RECOGNIZE THE ALEX 

PRETTI WAS HELPING A WOMAN THAT ICE GESTAPO PUSHED DOWN? 

HIS LAST WORDS WERE         ARE YOU OK? 

 ALEX PRETTI WAS SPRAYED IN THE FACE WITH PEPPER SPRAY OR BEAR

SPRAY, TACKLED TO THE GROUND BY ICE GESTAPO AND BEATEN WITH 

BATONS!

ALEX PRETTI WAS AN OBSERVER - HE HAD A CELL PHONE IN ONE HAND 

AND THE OTHER HAND WAS RAISED. 

ALEX PRETTI HAD A LEGAL LICENSE TO CARRY AND DID NOT 'BRANDISH' 

HIS WEAPON AS TRUMP LIARS HAVE CLAIMED. 

THE WEAPON FELL OUT DURING THE ICE GESTAPO BEATING. IT'S ON THE 

VIDEO. AN ICE GESTAPO AGENT GRABBED THE WEAPON AND LEFT THE 

SCENE. IF ALEX PRETTI WAS A THREAT, AS WAS CLAIMED, HE WAS 

DISARMED AND A THREAT NO LONGER EXISTED....YET ICE GESTAPO 

DISCHARGED THEIR WEAPONS WITH SO MANY SHOTS THEY WERE 

FORCED TO TURN HIS BODY OVER AND COUNT THE SHOTS, TAMPERING

WITH THE CRIME SCENE THAT THEY QUICKLY ABANDONED UNPROTECTED. 

DHS GESTAPO HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE IS BODY CAM 

FOOTAGE THAT THEY ARE 'REVIEWING' AND LIKELY TAMPERING WITH. 

WHERE ARE THEIR WEAPONS? ALREADY DESTROYED? 

iF THIS WAS THE FIRST ACT OF VIOLENCE OR MURDER BY ICE GESTAPO,

YOU COULD PRETEND...TRAGICALLY IT'S NOT! 

WHEN ICE GESTAPO INVADED MASSACHUSETTS, THERE WAS VIOLENCE 

AND ASSAULTS REPORTED.....DID THE MASS GOP IGNORE THOSE? 

HOW MANY INNOCENT PEOPLE DID ICE GESTAPO ASSAULT? 

How about the VAN that ICE GESTAPO fill with TEAR GAS and toss 

FLASH BANGS under the vehicle discharging the AIR BAGS, causing a 

medical emergency for a CHILD NOT BREATHING...they were on their 

way home after a GAME - INNOCENT AMERICANS!

The list, evidence and videos of ICE GESTAPO ABUSE, ASSAULTS and 

INJURIES is endless. 

ICE GESTAPO broke down the door to an elderly man's house, forced 

him out into  the COLD inadequately clothed. He's a U.S. CITIZEN! 

ICE GESTAPO have arrested U.S. CITIZENS. 

ICE GESTAPO have kidnapped people off the streets. 

ICE GESTAPO are LAWLESS! NO WARRANTS! NO DUE PROCESS! 

DEFYING COURT ORDERS! 

ICE GESTAPO have assaulted PEACEFUL PROTESTERS! 

ICE GESTAPO DID THIS TO A PEACEFUL PROTESTER WHO WAS ACROSS THE 

STREET EXERCISING HIS FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS:

AMY CARNEVALE'S UNINFORMED COMMENT DOES NOT INSPIIRE CREDIBILITY! 

AMY - INFORM YOURSELF! 

CARPETBAGGER & KNOWN LIAR JOHN DEATON is not a TRIAL PROSECUTOR and 

offered NONSENSE! 

EXPERIENCED HOMICIDE PROSECUTORS HAVE OFFERED THEIR EXPERTISE 

THAT NOT A SINGLE MASS GOP HAVE REVIEWED! 

If you believe TRUMP's description of his phone conversation with TIM WALZ, 

you are truly MORE STUPID than some of us believed. TRUMP is severely 

impaired, incapable of making coherent speeches, rambles incoherently, 

has undisclosed health issues, makes wild & irrational comments.... 

DAVOS was an AMERICAN HUMILIATION! 

THE SHIP IS SINKING! THE REST OF THE WORLD RECOGNIZES IT!

WILL YOU?


‘A tragedy’: Mass. Republicans react to fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis

January 26, 2026

Flowers and candles make up a memorial to Alex Pretti on January 25, 2026 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Pretti, an ICU nurse at a VA medical center, died on January 24 after being shot multiple times during a brief altercation with border patrol agents in the Eat Street district of Minneapolis.

Massachusetts Republicans are weighing in on the fatal shooting of nurse Alex Pretti by a U.S. Border Patrol officer in Minneapolis over the weekend, two-and-a-half weeks after another Minnesotan, Renee Good, was shot and killed by a federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent nearby.

Several of the Republicans reached by GBH News said they wanted to see an investigation of Pretti’s death, though Mass. GOP chair Amy Carnevale was an exception. There was also near unanimity that a recent phone call between President Donald Trump and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz augured well for a possible deescalation of tensions between federal agents and Minnesota residents opposed to their presence.

In a statement to GBH News, Mike Minogue, an Army veteran and former medical device company CEO who is seeking the Republican nomination for governor, said he and his wife are praying for Pretti and his family and mourning his death, which Minogue termed a “tragedy.”

“We are a nation of law and order, and violence of any kind must not become normalized,” Minogue said. “Our law enforcement officials should not be exposed to risk for enforcing immigration laws and removing violent criminal illegal immigrants in order to make our communities safer. But it must be done while honoring our core American values, including the right to assemble peacefully.

“This incident deserves a thorough and transparent investigation, and I am encouraged to see the president and governor of Minnesota talking with the goal of transparency, deescalating the situation, and finding a solution that keeps law enforcement and citizens safe,” Minogue added.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike Kennealy — a former private equity executive who served as former Gov. Charlie Baker’s secretary of administration and finance — also referenced the recent conversation between Trump and Walz, which the president described in unexpectedly positive terms after publicly feuding for months with Walz.

“As President Trump noted while recapping a productive conversation with Governor Walz, the priority in Minnesota and across the country is to get dangerous criminals off our streets and out of our state and nation,” Kennealy said in a statement. “That is easier to accomplish when federal, state, and local law enforcement cooperate with one another. It’s impossible to do that when Maura Healey and Michelle Wu stoke tensions for political points and have effectively turned Massachusetts into a sanctuary state. That ends when I’m governor.

“Any time there is an incident where law enforcement uses lethal force, there should be a full, transparent investigation with findings made public,” Kennealy added. “That should certainly happen in this instance.”

Healey has rejected the characterization of Massachusetts as a sanctuary state.

A third Republican gubernatorial candidate, ex-Marine and venture capitalist Brian Shortsleeve, struck a similar note to Minogue in a statement to GBH News.

“What happened on Saturday was a tragedy that demands a full and independent investigation,” Shortsleeve said. “I’m pleased that Gov. Walz and President Trump had a productive call, are working to cool tensions on both sides, and may have a path forward for reducing ICE’s presence in Minnesota neighborhoods while restoring much needed cooperation between local and federal officials on deporting known criminals.

“That is the right approach that protects due process and allows law enforcement to stay focused on deporting the worst of the worst who almost everyone agrees should be out of the country,” Shortsleeve added.

Lawyer and cryptocurrency advocate John Deaton, a former Marine who is seeking the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Democrat Ed Markey, said his initial response to Pretti’s death was “disbelief.” He decried what he described as a rush to judgment by both Republicans and Democrats.

“Unfortunately, we live in this world where there’s these two extreme sides — and immediately, if you consider yourself pro-ICE, you have to find a way to confirm your bias and make this a justified killing,” Deaton said. “And of course, if you are against ICE, then you’re rushing to confirm your bias that this is a homicide. And we saw that on both sides, whether it be elected leaders in Minnesota, whether it be [Homeland security secretary] Kristi Noem.

“These two extremes — to me, a man lost his life, and I think that our humanity deserves to sit back and let’s collect the facts before we [pass judgement],” Deaton said.

Deaton also cited the recent conversation between Walz and Trump, calling it “a ray of hopefully a silver lining in this dark cloud.”

Amy Carnevale, the chair of the Mass. GOP, highlighted the party’s support for law enforcement and did not call for an investigation into Pretti’s death in a statement to GBH News, though she did call it “tragic.”

“The tragic death in Minneapolis is a stark reminder that our law enforcement officers are being forced into life-or-death situations while doing their jobs and protecting the public,” Carnevale said. “The MassGOP stands firmly with law enforcement and renews the call for state and local officials to cooperate fully with federal authorities on detainer requests, so immigration enforcement can take place out of our neighborhoods and off our streets.”
