Congresswoman Alma Adams is condemning the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis.
In a statement published Tuesday, Adams called the killing an “ongoing assault and terrorizing of the American people.” She added that Charlotte has also experienced what she described as random targeting of both citizens and immigrants by the federal government.
"Right here in Charlotte, we have seen the random targeting of American citizens and non-citizens alike by their own federal government," Adams said. "It is not right and we must speak up and speak out until it ends."
Adams is urging President Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to scale back enforcement actions and is calling on Republican lawmakers to speak out.
