   The Two Agents Who Shot Alex Pretti Have

   In superhero lore, the good guys wear masks to protect their families from   
   the reprisals of vengeful, lawless evildoers. And, in the real world, ICE   
   and Border Patrol agents wear masks for the exact same reason.   
      
   Because the sad truth is, there’s an unknown number of extremists who’ll   
   commit murder for ideological gain: they walk amongst us every day.   
      
   And that’s dangerous, because the venomous vitriol against ICE and Border   
   Patrol agents is unparalleled in modern history. Network comedians are   
   literally cracking jokes where the punchline is that ICE agents are even   
   worse than Nazis:

   Stephen Colbert is now suggesting that it’s an insult to nazis to compare   
   ICE agents to them because the nazis were better   
      
   I have no words   
      
   Remember the quaint, lowkey era of 2024, when Donald Trump was “literally   
   Hitler”? We used to hear it all the time. Ah, those were the days.   
      
   We’ve now reached the point where the Trump administration is WORSE than   
   Hitler!   
      
   Which, of course, is a fair and reasonable comparison: Adolf Hitler killed   
   11 million people in the Holocaust and plunged the world into the   
   bloodiest, deadliest war in history, and Donald Trump’s border control   
   agents arrested sex offenders in Minneapolis.   
      
   Just like looking in a mirror, isn’t it?   
      
   Given this hyper-polarized backdrop, you could understand why ICE and   
   Border Patrol agents would prefer to keep their identities — and their   
   families' last names — out of the public domain.   
      
   But we also know that our legal system demands certain disclosures in   
   court documents, and eventually, a media outlet would reveal their names   
   to the entire world. It was just a question of when.   
      
   It happened today, Feb. 1, at 4:10 p.m. on ProPublica — which advertises   
   itself as “Investigative Journalism in the Public Interest.”   
      
   Shortly thereafter, their names were splashed all over the Internet.   
      
   The deed is done; the cat is out of the bag. Like Tony Soprano used to   
   say, “You can’t put the s*** back in the donkey.”   
      
   But here’s where it gets interesting (and deliciously ironic). Before   
   their identities were doxxed, for PR purposes, certain names and   
   backgrounds were… preferable.   
      
   Left-wing activists and/or propagandists want us to connect ICE, Trump,   
   and Border Patrol to Hitler, white supremacy, Nazi Germany — and if   
   possible, anything that could even be worse than that. So, if it turned   
   out the agents’ names were Adolf, Heinrich, or Hermann — that would be   
   >chef’s kiss<.   
      
   (Benito would’ve worked swimmingly, too.)   
      
   It’s part and parcel of storytelling: a person’s name is a snapshot of his   
   soul. It’s his character’s brand; for audiences, it’s the building block   
   of everything that follows.   
      
   So you KNOW the liberals had their fingers crossed: C’mon, give us a good   
   name! Give us something we can work with — something that communicates to   
   the American people how we’re protecting the noble immigrant community   
   from the evil white racists at ICE!   
      
   Alas, the names of the two federal immigration agents are not even close   
   to sounding like Adolf, Heinrich, or Hermann. Instead of screaming white   
   supremacy, they have more of a... Latin flair.   
      
   ¡Ay, caramba!   
      
   Over at Reddit, an ultra-left social media site, the reaction was amusing:   
      
   Holy s***   
      
   -Easy_Money_   
      
   JESUS AND RAYMUNDO?! You’re joking.

   List their home addresses too.

   Colored ICE agents, I guess this is a new/modern type of fascism.

   Sound like Mexican/Latio names. I’ll bet their illegals. Who vetted them?   
      
   -kaykatzz   
      
   They have social media and friends and family

   Those are not names I was expecting. But I guess every fascist regime has   
   collaborators

   They are DEI hires! False flag!
