"Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen, was shot to death by a Customs and Border Patrol officer when apparently trying to protect a fellow protester. DHS, which includes CBP and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, has claimed Pretti was threatening agents with a gun, but video shows only a phone in one of his hands and nothing in the other one, although he was in possession of a gun (with a valid permit)."
"Pretti was a nurse in the intensive care unit of a Veterans Administration hospital. There have been massive protests in Minneapolis since the killing of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE officer January 7. DHS also claimed the man who killed her acted in self-defense, saying Good was ramming him with her car, but video shows her driving away from the agent. Related: We've all seen the video. Do Kristi Noem and mainstream media think we're stupid?"

Pretti worked as an ICU nurse at a Veterans Administration hospital. Massive protests have followed the January 7 killing of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE officer, amid widespread criticism of ICE and CBP actions in Minneapolis. Several Democratic leaders have demanded accountability and have called for withholding DHS funding.
