Immigration enforcement actions resulted in two US citizens being killed by ICE agents this month. Eyewitness cell phone videos show ICE agents tackling and shooting 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti, with footage showing his gun on a belt that an ICE officer removes before he is killed. Earlier, ICE agents shot 37-year-old Renee Goodas while she was driving away, and multi-angle videos contradict official claims that she tried to run over an officer. Social media contains a mix of authentic eyewitness footage and AI-generated fakes that complicate verification. The Las Vegas police reported increased AI-generated images and videos and said they do not perform proactive immigration enforcement. DW Fact Check identified several viral clips as fabricated, noting garbled text, misspelled logos, and unnatural body movements.
