Questions Rep. Hurd must answer now

I would like to know if Congressman Hurd watched the videos of Alex Pretti being shot and killed by immigration agents.

I would like to know if it appears to the congressman that Mr. Pretti was threatening immigration agents with a firearm before he was shot 10 times.

I would like to know if the congressman will demand that immigration agents start wearing body cameras.

I would like to know if the congressman will demand that immigration agents be required to use non-lethal weapons before resorting to lethal force.

I would like to know if the congressman will demand the resignation of Gregory Bovino, Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller and other administration officials who have outright lied about the circumstances of Pretti’s death.

I would like to know if the congressman will point out the hypocrisy of Mr. Trump accusing local politicians – including Gov. Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey of Minneapolis – of “inciting insurrection,” when Trump incited his own insurrection at the Capitol that resulted in hundreds of injuries and the deaths of several police officers.

I would like to know when the congressman will demand the two immigration agents who killed Pretti be held accountable.

I would like to know how many people need to die before the congressman expresses outrage about how DHS is conducting its operations.
