Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen called for Immigration and Customs
Enforcement to be "defunded and disbanded" after the second fatal
shooting this month of an American in Minneapolis involving federal
immigration agents. 

Cohen said he initially planned to create an ice cream honoring Renee
Nicole Good, the 37-year-old woman shot and killed by ICE agent Jonathan
Ross on Jan. 7 in Minneapolis, but that he did not have it in him to
make the treat after Border Patrol agents on Saturday fatally shot Alex
Pretti, also 37, while he was recording immigration enforcement
operations in the same city. 

Pretti, an ICU nurse, appeared to be attempting to assist a woman agents
had knocked down when he was sprayed with an irritant, pushed to the
ground and beaten, according to video and witness accounts. An agent was
later seen pulling Pretti’s lawfully owned firearm from his waistband
before other agents fired several shots, killing him. 

"I was prepared to make a special ice cream today to memorialize and
celebrate the life of Renee Good, but now that Alex’s murder makes it
clear that the murder of Renee and the government’s lies were not a
mistake but standard operating procedure, I just don’t have it within
me," Cohen said in a video posted to X.
