Whoopi Goldberg Fights Tears While Calling Out Kristi Noem and More Over ICE, Alex Pretti’s Murder: ‘You All Have Blood on Your Hands’

“The View” took on ICE and the government on Monday, January 26, following Saturday’s shoot of ICU nurse Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

“They murdered a man. He is standing, he has his phone and he has a bottle of water. And they shot him ten times. What the —,” Whoopi Goldberg said during the episode, cutting herself off and getting visibly emotional. “I don’t know what you’re investigating, if you’re not investigating the straight up murder — the straight up murder. This is the second one, the second murder of an American citizen.”

She continued, “If you don’t see it, it’s willful. It’s because you’re not looking. You can’t sit by this.”

Goldberg then called out the secretary of homeland security and the Border Patrol Commander.

“Kristi Noem, you can’t justify this. Mr. Bovino, you can’t justify this,” she said. “You can’t justify either one, and we all see it and we see you for what you are. You all have blood on your hands.”

Pretti, the VA nurse who was killed on Saturday, came weeks after 37-year-old mother Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent while driving away from a protest.

Ana Navarro said that Pretti was “brandishing a camera” before he was shot. “This government does something that I am not used to saying about a U.S. government,” she said. “It lies to the citizens, it lies to the people. So, for them, a camera is just as dangerous as a gun. What they don’t want is for people to see the truth.”

Sara Haines also commented on the murders during Monday’s episode, calling out both ICE and the current administration.

“The people that seem to be bringing the violence are the ICE agents themselves. I know there are good ICE agents. The problem is they’re currently recruiting people using imagery from single-shooter games, giving them this vibe that they’re coming to get rid of vermin, and they’re also telling them they have immunity,” Haines said. “They’re not even getting investigated properly. The administration has spoken and set the tone for this. That’s what we’re seeing right now. That’s why people are being killed completely unjustly.”
