| 0:00.0 | We are following new developments this hour out of Minneapolis, where we're learning more about what witnesses are reporting from the scene of yesterday's killing of 37-year-old Alex Preti by federal agents. |
| 0:16.3 | In a new affidavit of sworn testimony, a doctor who was at the scene asked the agents to be |
| 0:21.8 | allowed to administer care to Preti after the shooting, but was initially turned down, saying, |
| 0:26.8 | quote, at first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. I was confused as to why the victim |
| 0:31.6 | was on his side because that is not standard practice. Checking for a pulse and administering CPR |
| 0:36.7 | is standard practice. Instead of doing |
| 0:39.1 | either of those things, the ICE agents appeared to be counting his bullet wounds. End quote. This is |
| 0:45.2 | sworn testimony, by the way. If you give sworn testimony and you end up lying, you can go to jail. |
| 0:50.5 | We've learned that Preti was a U.S. citizen who was recording activity by federal immigration |
| 0:54.5 | agents before he was killed. Recording video is completely legal. New video continues to emerge, |

| 1:11.6 | We have a lot of detail here. |
| 1:13.5 | Meanwhile, a Minnesota judge has issued a temporary restraining order blocking federal agencies |
| 1:18.8 | from destroying or altering evidence related to the shooting after the Department of Homeland |
| 1:23.7 | Security allegedly removed evidence from the scene and took it into exclusive |
| 1:28.6 | federal custody. Wild that these things are happening. Governor Tim Wals has activated the Minnesota |
| 1:34.3 | National Guard to assist local police in Minneapolis. And in a late development yesterday, |
| 1:39.1 | the Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says that Senate Democrats will now not vote to support the new budget bill |
| 1:46.1 | that just passed the House if it contains funding for DHS, which for the moment it does. |
| 1:52.9 | And if that bill doesn't pass, we could be headed for another government shutdown over all |
