More Unions Are Saying ‘ICE Out’

More unions across the country are taking a stand against Immigration and Customs Enforcement since the January 23 mass strike in Minneapolis and the January 24 killing of Alex Pretti, an intensive care nurse and union member. Pretti was a member of the Government Employees (AFGE) Local 3669, working in the Minneapolis Veterans Affairs Hospital. His death at the hands of Border Patrol agents has shocked and outraged people across the country. Health care and V.A. workers have felt it even more keenly. National Nurses United, which has 225,000 members, became the first national union to call for the abolition of ICE, holding a week of actions beginning January 26 on that theme.

Vigils For Alex Pretti Demand Real Change

Washington, DC - A Jan. 28 candlelight vigil at Department of Veterans Affairs headquarters in downtown D.C., one of many organized by National Nurses United, aimed to pressure the Senate to defeat the massive money bill funding the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service (ICE) and the Border Patrol. Their agents killed VA nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis days before. “Stop the killing, stop the murders, stop the deportations, stop the raids and the white supremacy,” said local activist, Dante O’Hara, who organized speakers at the event. He’s an affiliate with the Federal Unionists Network, DMV.

‘Please Get The Truth Out,’ Alex Pretti’s Parents Plead

Michael and Susan Pretti urged the press and the public to counter the Trump administration’s baseless claims about their son, Alex Pretti, after he was fatally shot by US Border Patrol agents on a street in Minneapolis and immediately—with no evidence—declared a “domestic terrorist” by top White House officials. Pretti’s parents expressed heartbreak as well as anger over their son’s killing, which no federal officials contacted the family about, leaving them to learn he had been fatally shot from an Associated Press reporter who reached out to them.
