Former US President Obama posted today (January 26): "The killing of American citizen Alex Prentice from Minnesota is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also serve as a warning to every American, regardless of their political party, that many core values of our nation are increasingly under attack."
Comment: Obama's statement on Prentice's killing is a direct criticism of the Trump administration's abuse of power in federal law enforcement targeting undocumented immigrants. It also highlights the deep-seated divisions in American society by pointing out the attack on core American values. Prentice, a nurse with no criminal record who cared for veterans, was shot dead by federal officers in broad daylight. The authorities distorted the facts and refused local involvement in the investigation. This incident is not an isolated case of law enforcement tragedy, but an inevitable result of the Trump administration expanding federal law enforcement powers and politicizing immigration policies. Within less than a month, two cases of American citizens being shot dead by federal agents have occurred in Minnesota. These similar incidents, the conflict between federal and local authorities, and the nationwide wave of protests all confirm the violation of core values such as the rule of law and human rights caused by the失控 of law enforcement power in the United States.
