Time To Take Down The Networks Stoking Violence In Minneapolis and Elsewhere

Federal law makes it a crime to engage in a conspiracy to impede federal officers from performing their duties. That includes street violence. It also includes officials running "Sanctuary Cities".

Alex Pretti is dead. He was shot by a Border Patrol officer when he attempted to interfere in the arrest of another individual. An investigation is ongoing into the circumstances of his death. A final determination is pending regarding exactly what happened and whether or not the shooting was justified.

Meanwhile, I have a different question.

Why are we allowing the networks training, directing and supporting individuals like Pretti to continue to exist? There has been ample documentation for a long time now showing the scope of the operations of groups like ICE Watch. This is not protest. This is a very large, highly organized effort to obstruct justice and interfere with federal law enforcement officers in the conduct of their duties.
