Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, July 20, 2026

US Gestapo Gruppenfuhrer Tom Homan brayed on national TV (CBS Face the Nation): "I think no matter what people think of ICE, no matter what you think of immigration law, you should always comply with law enforcement... bottom line is -- we'll see when the investigation plays out -- [the dead victims] would be alive today if they simply complied."

Tom Homan is not a good human being.

Tom Homan complied.
He complied was handed a bag with $50,000 in cash.
A bribe.
Which he accepted.
Oh, and the Dept. of Justice complied, too.
After Trump got back on office, it dropped the investigation into that one.
Compliance, MAGA style.

They weren't even targets or who ICE was seeking, but inserted themselves into the situation.

Protesting is an American constitutional right and perfectly legal.

Challenging ICE was NEEDED and is still NEEDED. Alex Pretti did not violate the law in any way. He was exercising his constitutional rights.

The safest and most effective way to respond to authorities violating your civil rights is to survive the encounter, document everything, and fight back legally in court.

Unfortunately Alex did not survive the encounter.

And I agree 100% that Alex currently wouldn't be a martyr if ICE had not murdered him in the streets.

In the situations that have gotten the attention and multiple videos of evidence.....ICE has been 100% in the wrong.

Look at the situation without your tinted glasses.

They both went far beyond protesting.

She parked her car sideways in the street blocking ICE.

He saw himself as a savior/leader or something. He jumped in the middle of something that didn't involve him.

Maybe for his sake he should have thought twice about physically challenging an ICE agent who is armed.

What really got him killed though was his bringing a firearm to this protest.

That was a foolish thing to do.

Both of them were killed as a result of their own actions.

Take off the tinted glasses and see it.

Yeah...if they would have only stayed silent instead of exercising their constitutionally guaranteed rights to express their grievances to the government when an injustice occurs.

And no one would have died during the civil rights protests if people had just complied.
An no one would have died during the labor rights movement if people had just complied.
And no one would have died during the Revolutionary war if people had just complied with England.

The FACT of the matter is, if what you've postulated had actually happened, and happened on the scale needed to turn an election...

...hundreds, if not thousands of people would be coming forward, telling your exact same story.

Instead, almost six years later, NO ONE has come forward confirming your theory. NOT A SINGLE SOUL.

BJ BOI, Blaming Americans exercising their Constitutional Rights for their own Murders is more Proof of how Far Gone you really are.

If Everything is so clear about these Murders then why is ICE refusing to have open investigations into them?

Why are they Shielding dangerous killers from any Review or Accountability?

The Perps in these killings are a danger to the Public.

Surely you see that.

If only for clarity about their innocence,investigations should be publicly held and the results revealed to the public.

Why is ICE refusing this, If they have nothing to hide?

Public confidence in Law enforcement is Essential in A FREE Society.

I Guess you Like having an Unaccountable Secret Police Force Persecuting Americans for asking Questions about Public Matters.

Maybe YOU should move to a more Totalitarian State rather than making this one More So.

Alex Pretti had every legal right to have that gun on his person.

The SCOTUS says so, the laws of the State of Minnesota say so.

If ICE murdered him for being armed that's not within the law or their Perview.

The Violated his civil rights and Murdered him.

He never Brandished or even TOUCHED that Gun.

Killing him was Murder. They were enforcing No Law, He hadn't broken any.

He was no threat to them,he never Touched his weapon even as they were beating him.

If they can Murder Mr. Pretti and Ms. Good they can Murder Anyone, challenging authority is neither a Crime or a Death Penalty Offense.

Or Should they Cower in Fear of the Government?

The Government is after all, just a Collection of private Citizens.

We have No Nobility here, No Aristocracy.

If they are Not Enforcing the Laws, they are Terrorists Lording over Lawfully Dissenting CITIZENS.

Nothing the Murdered Citizens did was a Threat to Anyone, Annoying to the Agents involved perhaps, but not Threatening.

The Agents should have been removed from Duty and possibly Charged with Murder depending on the findings of an Independent Investigation.

Why was this NOT Done?

Why did ICE and the Administration bury the Whole thing after wrongly Accusing the Victims of being "Terrorists" for engaging with ICE that day?

Why does ICE treat American Citizens like the Enemy?

Real fears of a world depression in the coming weeks due to Trump's war. Since that will sink any lingering hopes the man has for the midterms, I expect ICE to be employed in it's core function, political terror and suppression.

Zed,

I said I agreed ICE needed reigned in.

That would include clearer policies and dealing with hostile protesters.

You likely think the solution is to abolish ICE.

I've got no problem extinguishing a fascist para-military. I thought that was obvious.

This whole migration thing was and is an exaggeration and a ruse by the far, far right.

In my part of Texas, immigrants are exactly the same now as they were under Obama and Biden.

No threat and no burden.

Those are separate concerns.

Unless you're saying the only thing that needs reining in is how ICE is assaulting protesters.

Never can tell with you. You're deliberately vague, a reflection that facts don't matter much to you.

John,
They have my sympathy. Really they do. I know of people in terrible situations.
I'd like to see a fast track for friends I know who deserve it.
Some illegals have a bad past and should be found and sent packing.
Who is going to do it?
Local law enforcement?
The military?
Or just left to hurt people?
This is way too complex for me to have opinions.
However, suggesting that millions of people should go through the courts is a deliberate tactic to create havoc and stall getting people out who need to be gone.
If they are not here legally, I personally have no issue with their facing the consequences.
That's something liberals have lost sight of.

Tom Homan recently lied on main stream news regarding lights and identification on an ICE vehicle on camera that we can see has neither.

The man he is covering for is a violent veteran, unfit for peace keeping or policing.

His own family have stated such.

Indeed, military are being used for policing.

Time and again we witness point blank murder.

You are running cover for terrorist mercs.

Open your mf'ing eyes and face REALITY.

You also never addressed the challenge coins or the spade cards ICE use.

So you don't. believe in "innocent until proven guilty."

I bet you've never truly believed in innocent until proven guilty.

You just needed Trump to explain why it's a bad idea. Because now you're parroting what the Trunpers say.

Let me explain something to you:
If these millions of people have committed serious crimes, they would already have been found innocent or guilty in court.

These millions of illegal immigrants aren't criminals.

You're just conditioned to look for a scapegoat.

You were a scapegoat when you were in the Navy, how did it feel getting treated that way?

Maybe run it past your wife?

Red,

First off, anything that starts with someone elses name isn't my concern. I dont think you quite grasp how I read information but avoid commentary and political speeches and most videos. I'm old school and prefer reading.

It is pure coincidence if my words are similar to anyone elses.

You understand criminal only happens when there's a crime?

Being in this country without authorization is not a criminal act.

You can't accept that. For you, it would be like accepting gays aren't bad people for being gay.

You require a scapegoat to punch down on.

When the Navy kicked you out for being gay, is when they broke you, and when you learned to love Big Brother.

Well, you've read what I've posted and claim "no comment" by making a comment.

You have not seen any of the ICE brutality on video?

Not even in LA?

US Gestapo Gruppenfuhrer Tom Homan whined: "I can't even buy milk without being harassed."

Snoofy,

Going over borders without being there legally is a crime.

A crime is unlawful activity.

Now extend that to ICE possibly acting illegally, all the while saying ~obey or be killed.~


Where in the Constitution does it say... "obey or be killed?"

Its fine in America, obey, then you can sue afterwards if its really illegal.

Nah, Again you guys don't know your own system. In the US there are actions like "conspiracy" or "attempted". So someone can be labeled a criminal for actively planning a severe act.

A lot of Americans are starting to feel that way, not just the far left like Zed, because ICE does not behave even remotely like normal law enforcement. You might have noticed that no one in this thread apart from you and one other poster have been defending or making excuses for them. Even most of the pro-Trump MAGAs are starting to realize how having a government organization that murders with impunity could be detrimental to them under a future administration. . .

The only thing keeping Trump alive is that he's more useful to Israel and Russia this way.
