"I saw no evidence. I saw a man that was retreating. I mean, he went to the middle of the street. He didn't even obstruct traffic. He let a car go through. As the agents advanced on him, he retreated to the side of the street. A woman is violently pushed to the ground, and he turns to help her, and that's when he is grabbed from behind. I saw no evidence of him assaulting the police,"
"I think we have to get through our hearing February 12th, and I think we have to see what the people who work for her say. But my advice to them, if they're watching and they come to testify, is if you come in and you're going to justify that this man was aggressively assaulting your police officers. That cannot be acceptable, and that's why they're lacking in trust,"
Sen. Rand Paul criticized the Trump administration's response to the killing of Alex Pretti by ICE agents. Paul said he saw no evidence that Pretti posed a threat, describing him as retreating into the middle of the street, not obstructing traffic, and turning to help a woman who was pushed to the ground before being grabbed from behind. Paul urged officials called to testify to avoid justifying claims that Pretti was aggressively assaulting officers, saying such justification would be unacceptable and erode trust. Top administration figures characterized Pretti as attempting to massacre law enforcement and misstated his right to carry a firearm.
