GOP governor calls new DHS shooting a 'murder' in passionate plea: 'Courts must step up'

A Republican governor joined the chorus of voices against Trump's aggressive immigration tactics in Minneapolis, calling a recent killing of an ICU nurse potentially "murder."
The death of Alex Pretti, who worked for the VA as a nurse before he was killed by federal immigration agents in a widely recorded moment, sparked outrage from observers across the political spectrum. Already at least one GOP senator and one GOP congressman have called for full investigations into the public shooting.
Enter Phil Scott, the Republican governor of Vermont, who issued a statement declaring that "enough is enough."
"Enough... it's not acceptable for American citizens to be killed by federal agents for exercising their God-given and constitutional rights to protest their government," he wrote. "At best, these federal immigration operations are a complete failure of coordination of acceptable public safety and law enforcement practices, training, and leadership."
"At worst," he added, "it's a deliberate federal intimidation and incitement of American citizens that's resulting in the murder of Americans. Again, enough is enough."
