Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) grilled Trump administration officials in charge of immigration enforcement during a Senate hearing on Thursday. Paul confronted them with a breakdown of the video of Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti’s fatal shooting, asking them if their officers acted professionally in killing a man he claimed did not show any aggression.
“Today, we explore the rules of engagement, the rules for the proper use of force, and the rules for the use of force that are proportional to the threat,” Paul said. “My goal with this hearing is not to condemn or to argue to defund ICE; my goal is to restore public trust. If we don’t admit that there’s a problem, then we’re not going to get anywhere.”
Paul played the video frame by frame and asked, “Is it an appropriate use of force to shove the woman to the ground here, Mr. Scott?”

Agitators are there paid to agitate. ICE is supposed to de-escalate, but the agitators want to agitate and escalate!
He IS a democrat. Took me until 2025 to realize that.
That Pretti guy reminds me a lot of the dirtbags who attacked Kyle Rittenhouse.
A loaded gun and two extra magazines isn’t aggressive? Refusing a lawful order to drop it isn’t aggressive?
Rand Paul is rapidly becoming the biggest p.o.s. among a remarkably large pile of the same.
He was old enough to know better.
When Rand got his ass kicked by his neighbor he described it as a peaceful beating.
Rand is a turncoat jackass.
I hope his career in politics ends very soon.
He is a disgrace, a liar, and a POS.
Paul SUX!
Well there ya go. Rand Paul is officially an idiot.
Democrap senator Rand Paul should STFU.
Bringing a gun with one in the pipe and 2 magazines to a confrontation with law enforcement is an “act of aggression”.
NO WONDER his neighbor jumped him. Too bad he didn’t finish the job.
It ended up Pretti Good, though.
The Contrarian gonna do what the contrarian gonna do. If attention whoring was an olympic event, he’d win the bronze.
The lack of trust is on the part of those who are labeled left-wing and will oppose everything Trump desires or proposes.
THIS EVENT HAPPENED 11 DAYS AFTER HE WAS AGGRESSIVE WITH ICE & KICKED OUT THE TAIL LIGHT ON AN ICE VEHICLE.
HAS RAND GOT LATENT DAMAGE FROM THE ATTACK HE GOT FROM HIS NEIGHBOR?
It’s not an act of aggressive to resist being arrested?
It turned out Good, though.
FURP.
Never heard of FAFO I guess. What a rube. What does matter sadly is the NBC poll that shows for the American people, ICE has gone too far. Not sure what to do with that. Either Trump forges ahead despite opposition - that is his role as POTUS - or he implements some rules to avoid this. With Pretti, I am not sure what ICE could have done. The idiot came to basically crash and ICE raid and got himself killed. If we can avoid another Pretti, that would probably be best. 29% of Americans, the lunatics, want to abolish ICE.
I used to “Stand with Rand” but those days are long gone.
