<p>Listen to Alex Pretti read Terry Randolph's final salute after his December 2024 death at vthe VA facility. Try not to choke up. </p><p>"Today we have to remember that freedom is not free," Pretti said. "We have to work at it, nurture it, protect it and even sacrifice for it. May we never forget and always remember our brothers and sisters who have served so that we may enjoy the gift of freedom."<br><a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/alex-pretti-fatally-shot-federal-officers-minneapolis-identified-paren-rcna255758" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/alex-pretti-fatally-shot-federal-officers-minneapolis-identified-paren-rcna255758"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/a</span><span class="invisible">lex-pretti-fatally-shot-federal-officers-minneapolis-identified-paren-rcna255758</span></a><br><a href="/tags/minneapolis/" rel="tag">#Minneapolis</a> <a href="/tags/ice/" rel="tag">#ICE</a> <a href="/tags/alexpretti/" rel="tag">#AlexPretti</a></p>

<p>"The wars we’ve carried out as a nation abroad have come home," writes Cengiz Yar in his ground reporting from Minneapolis for <span class="h-card"><a href="https://newsie.social/@ProPublica" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>ProPublica</span></a></span>, where he and colleague Peter DiCampo witnessed ICE raids, protestors enduring cycles of tear gas, detentions and regrouping, and more. "I do not have the words to articulate how it feels to watch this unfold in Minneapolis, a city that I have grown to know and love after moving here a few years ago," writes DiCampo. "The journalists who flocked here over the past few weeks are people I have run into while on assignment in hot spots all over the world. Now they were in my home city."</p><p><a href="https://flip.it/hlYP8-" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>flip.it/hlYP8-</a></p><p><a href="/tags/ice/" rel="tag">#ICE</a> <a href="/tags/minnesota/" rel="tag">#Minnesota</a> <a href="/tags/minneapolis/" rel="tag">#Minneapolis</a> <a href="/tags/immigration/" rel="tag">#Immigration</a> <a href="/tags/trumpadministration/" rel="tag">#TrumpAdministration</a></p>
