Unidentified speaker urges action after video involving Alex Preddy, calls for Kristi Noem to go
An unidentified speaker urged listeners to read a statement from Alex Preddy’s parents, Susan and Michael Preddy, and to watch the video footage tied to the incident involving Alex Preddy. "Read that. Take that in," the speaker said, calling attention to the parents’ statement and multiple video versions.

The speaker described Preddy as "an ICU nurse who served our veterans" and said the video shows "somebody who's standing with a cell phone," which the speaker noted is "a First Amendment protected right in this country." The speaker added that, in the footage, the person appeared "to protect a woman, who ICE was coming after." The remarks framed the recording as evidence of a protective act rather than an aggressive one.

Expressing sympathy, the unidentified speaker said, "My heart goes out to Alex Preddy, to his coworkers," and pressed for political accountability. "And it's why Kristi Noem has got to go," the speaker said, later repeating, "Kristi Noem's gotta go." The speaker also said, "ICE has gotta get out of these communities now," and urged President Donald Trump to act: "Donald Trump needs to act and step up." The speaker added that if the president does not act, "Republicans in congress need to force the accountability here."

The transcript contains no record of a formal action or vote tied to these calls; the remarks are a public appeal for accountability and policy change.

No additional outcomes or official responses are recorded in the provided transcript.
