Fox Business host confronted over ICE agents killing US citizens

Summary
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) confronted Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo on Friday over the killing of Alex Pretti by federal immigration officers last month. Bartiromo questioned why Democratic lawmakers remained seated during Trump's State of the Union when asked to stand in support of the statement that the government's "first duty" is protecting American citizens over undocumented immigrants. Khanna rejected Bartiromo's framing, arguing Democrats objected to how mass deportation operations have been executed, resulting in American deaths. When Bartiromo defended the ICE shooting, suggesting armed individuals interrupting operations should expect responses, Khanna invoked the concept of proportional use of force in law enforcement. He emphasized that possessing a firearm, a constitutional right, should not result in being shot dead. Bartiromo maintained that ICE agents are "trained to kill" when they perceive threats, prompting Khanna to highlight the contradiction with Second Amendment protections.Watch the video below.
