Pretti was reportedly tackled by five federal agents, including one who leaned on his back and broke his rib

Alex Pretti, the ICU nurse who was shot and killed by a Border Patrol agent this weekend, suffered a broken rib during a previous encounter with federal officers, according to a report.

A week before his death, Pretti, 37, had a rib broken when a group of federal officers tackled him as he was protesting their detention of other people, sources told CNN.

    While Pretti’s name was known to federal agents, according to the CNN source, it is unclear if the new intake form was used to share his information.

    “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous,” Homan said.

    Homan was sent to Minneapolis Tuesday by the president in an apparent effort to calm tensions in the state.

    One video, taken in Maine and shared on social media last Friday, showed a federal agent recording a license plate of a woman watching their operations and telling her: “We have a nice little database and now you are considered a domestic terrorist.”

    "There is NO database of ‘domestic terrorists’ run by DHS. We do of course monitor and investigate and refer all threats, assaults and obstruction of our officers to the appropriate law enforcement. Obstructing and assaulting law enforcement is a felony and a federal crime,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told CNN.

    Way to side step the fucking point, Trish.

    “We don’t run the database. We just collect data that gets added to it and then use that database we helped create to target Americans who make the mistake of thinking their rights matter… It’s run by Palantir.”
