Rogue Republican Senator Rand Paul has criticized the Trump administration’s controversial ICE operations in Minneapolis during a 60 Minutes sit-down.
Paul, who is the chair of the Homeland Security Committee and who has scheduled a hearing in Minneapolis for Feb. 12, told reporter Scott Pelley that he “saw no evidence” for Kristi Noem’s claims that Alex Pretti, the 37-year-old ICU nurse who was shot and killed by Border Patrol agents on Jan. 24, was a terrorist.
“I saw a man that was retreating,” Paul said. “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.”
