In the wake of federal immigration agents shooting and killing Alex Pretti, former American presidents, who tend to say very little about current affairs, decided to speak up.<\/p>\n

The day after the slaying, for example, Bill Clinton issued a lengthy statement<\/a> that, among other things, warned Americans, \u201cOver the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come. This is one of them. If we give our freedoms away after 250 years, we might never get them back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joe Biden soon followed with a similar statement that celebrated the Minnesotans who have protested the federal government\u2019s immigration crackdown, noting that they have \u201creminded us what it is to be American, and they have suffered enough at the hands of this Administration.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barack and Michelle Obama also issued a written statement<\/a> in the wake of the deadly violence. \u201cIt should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault,\u201d the Obamas wrote. They went on criticize the \u201cunprecedented tactics\u201d the Department of Homeland Security has employed, saying \u201cpeople across the country have been rightly outraged by the spectacle of masked ICE recruits and other federal agents acting with impunity and engaging in tactics that seem designed to intimidate, harass, provoke and endanger the residents of a major American city.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Obamas concluded that \u201crather than trying to impose some semblance of discipline and accountability over the agents they\u2019ve deployed, the President and current administration officials seem eager to escalate the situation, while offering public explanations for the shootings of Mr. Pretti and Renee Good that aren\u2019t informed by any serious investigation \u2014 and that appear to be directly contradicted by video evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n
