🔴 New Jersey gun rights advocates weigh in as scrutiny grows. New Jersey gun owners and libertarians are weighing in after Alex Pretti was shot to death by Border Patrol agents on Saturday in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Francisco said that, while he has no insight into whether Petti assaulted a law enforcement officer, the Minnesotan had every right to carry a gun. Mikie Sherrill is doubling down on her resistance to federal immigration enforcement. The driver said that he was an immigration officer and then put the victim up against the vehicle for a search, police said.
