Barack Obama:
„STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT OBAMA AND MRS. OBAMA
JANUARY 25, 2026The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a
wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core
values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
Federal law enforcement and immigration agents have a tough job. But
Americans expect them to carry out their duties in a lawful, accountable
way, and to work with, rather than against, state and local officials to
ensure public safety.
That's not what we're seeing in Minnesota. In fact, we're seeing the
opposite.“

Barack Obama:„For weeks now, people across the country have been rightly outraged by
the spectacle of masked ICE recruits and other federal agents acting with
impunity and engaging in tactics that seem designed to intimidate, harass,
provoke and endanger the residents of a major American city. These
unprecedented tactics—which even the former top lawyer of the
Department of Homeland Security in the first Trump administration has
characterized as embarrassing, lawless and cruel—have now resulted in
the fatal shootings of two U.S citizens. And yet rather than trying to
impose some semblance of discipline and accountability over the agents
they've deployed, the President and current administration officials seem
eager to escalate the situation, while offering public explanations for the
shootings of Mr. Pretti and Renee Good that aren't informed by any serious
investigation—and that appear to be directly contradicted by video
evidence.“ -

Barack Obama:„This has to stop. I would hope that after this most recent tragedy,
administration officials will reconsider their approach, and start finding
ways to work constructively with Governor Walz and Mayor Frey as well as
state and local police to avert more chaos and achieve legitimate law
enforcement goals.
In the meantime, every American should support and draw inspiration from
the wave of peaceful protests in Minneapolis and other parts of the
country. They are a timely reminder that ultimately it's up to each of us as
citizens to speak out against injustice, protect our basic freedoms, and
hold our government accountable.“STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT OBAMA AND MRS. OBAMA
