One of the top Republican candidates for governor in Minnesota-who just two weeks ago provided legal counsel to the ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Nicole Good-has dropped out of the race, saying he can no longer call himself a Republican after a second American citizen, Alex Pretti, was killed by federal agents. 'I cannot support the national Republican stated retribution on the citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so,'
Despite originally supporting ICE's effort in the city, known as Operation Metro Surge, Madel called it 'an unmitigated disaster' in his video, arguing it had 'expanded far beyond its stated focus on true public safety threats.' 'United States citizens, particularly those of color, live in fear,' he added. 'United States citizens are carrying papers to prove their citizenship. That's wrong.'
