Woman shot by Border Patrol in Chicago asks judge to let her release evidence
(Chicago Sun-Times) The woman who survived five gunshots from a Border Patrol agent in Chicago last fall, only to be criminally charged and then cleared, now wants a judge’s permission to share evidence that shows how the feds respond when “their agents use deadly force against U.S. citizens.” Marimar Martinez’s lawyer argued Monday that top Trump administration officials continue to smear her name, and that the White House’s false narrative about her arrest has even seeped into writings by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito.
Major news outlets under fire for 'tiptoeing' around Trump admin lies after Pretti killing
(Raw Story) Two prominent critics warned on Monday that the US corporate media is not being aggressive enough in calling out the Trump administration’s lies about Alex Pretti, the Minneapolis resident who was slain by federal immigration agents over the weekend. Writing on her Substack page, former New York Times public editor Margaret Sullivan expressed concern that many mainstream media publications were taking a wait-and-see approach in the wake of Pretti’s shooting, even as the Trump administration, Fox News, and other right-wing media websites were pumping out false claims about Pretti brandishing a weapon at federal officials and being a “domestic terrorist.”
Jon Stewart perfectly sums up the Administration's lies after the shooting of Alex Pretti
(Huff Post) Stewart called the administration’s attempt to claim Pretti was a threat despite all the footage showing otherwise to be “the denial of the reality that we all witnessed.” “They’re lying,” Stewart said. “We saw it. And that’s how brazen they lie when they know we’ve seen the truth. That’s how they lie when they know we know. Imagine how they lie when there’s no evidence to contradict them.”
