House Committee Report Accuses White House, DHS of Cover-Up in Good and Pretti Killings
A scathing report from a U.S. House committee has accused the White House and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) of covering up the killings of two individuals by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis last month.Key Findings of the Report
The report, led by Democratic California Rep. Robert Garcia, highlights four key findings: The Trump Administration's extreme policies and culture of impunity led to the killings; the administration's lies about the incidents cannot cover up what witnesses saw; available evidence suggests a cover-up of misconduct; and the administration is impeding thorough investigations into the shootings.
Evidence Contradicts Initial Claims
The report also notes that evidence contradicts initial claims made by the Trump Administration, which stated that both victims were domestic terrorists aiming to harm federal law enforcement. The committee's findings suggest that this narrative was fabricated to justify the killings.
White House and DHS Defend Their Actions
In response to the report, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson defended the work of federal officers, stating that they are 'heroically removing dangerous criminal illegal aliens from American communities.' However, this statement has been met with skepticism by many, who argue that it is an attempt to justify the killings and cover up misconduct.
Brothers of Renee Good Set to Testify
The report's findings have sparked outrage among family members of the victims. Renee Good's brothers, Brent and Luke Ganger, are set to testify at a public Congressional forum co-led by Garcia on Tuesday afternoon, where they will share their experiences and call for accountability.
The House committee report has shed light on a disturbing pattern of behavior within the Trump Administration and DHS. The findings suggest that these agencies have engaged in a cover-up of misconduct and are attempting to justify the killings of two innocent individuals. As the investigation continues, it is essential for those responsible to be held accountable for their actions.
