Miranda Devine: More martyrs for cynical Dems after fatal Alex Pretti shooting

The Democrats have two more martyrs in Minneapolis to serve their cause now.

Anti-ICE activists Alex Pretti and Renee Good were deluded, if well-meaning, patsies for the Democrats’ lust for power by any means, preferably foul.

Both were armed and resisting arrest when they were shot by ICE agents: Pretti, 37, with a 9mm semi-automatic handgun tucked in his pants, and Good, also 37, with a large SUV that she accelerated at an ICE agent.

They died for the cause they had been assured by Minnesota leaders was righteous: obstructing federal agents from carrying out President Trump’s mandate to deport murderers, rapists, child predators, drug traffickers, terrorists, and other criminal illegal aliens who have invaded this country.

If anyone, apart from their foolish selves, is to blame for their deaths, it’s not the federal agents placed in an intolerably chaotic situation, outnumbered by feral, foul-mouthed domestic terrorists, one of whom bit off an agent’s finger last week.

No, the blame rests with Democratic politicians who are inciting the mob: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, the same cast of misfits who gave us the anti-cop BLM-George Floyd riots that engulfed the country in 2020.

Just as Floyd’s death was a pretext for violent riots aimed at damaging Trump and winning an election for Democrats, so too are the deaths of Good and Pretti. There is no remorse, just calculated opportunism.

It’s the same playbook as 2020, with well-funded, highly organized militant groups driving the action, although this time, black bloc Antifa thugs on the front lines have given way to sympathetic-seeming mothers and protesters in animal costumes to soften the optics.

The same Democrats are fanning the flames of public........
