Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock, the senior pastor of Atlanta’s historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, traveled to Minneapolis Tuesday to visit the site of nurse Alex Pretti’s killing by a Border Patrol agent amid a national outcry over the shooting.

The long-time civil rights activist is a prolific fundraiser and potential 2028 presidential hopeful. In several television interviews and social media posts this week, Warnock has spoken in stark terms about the dangers of President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.
