"After he is dragged away from the woman he was trying to help, a gaggle of ICE officers surround Pretti and force him to the ground, beating and restraining him there as he struggles to free himself. At least 10 shots appear to be fired within the span of five seconds. Pretti is splayed motionless on the asphalt. What the fuck, they killed him, a bystander's voice can be heard screaming in one of several videos of the incident."
"After the US senator from Minnesota Amy Klobuchar posted on X about Pretti's killing, saying: Donald Trump and all your lieutenants who ordered this ICE surge: watch the horrific video of the killing today, Stephen Miller, the senior White House official, replied saying: A domestic terrorist tried to assassinate federal law enforcement and this is your response? Miller provided zero evidence for the terrorism label or for the assassination attempt claims."
Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care nurse, was fatally shot by ICE agents in Minneapolis after filming agents and attempting to help a pepper-sprayed woman. Bystander videos show him holding up his phone, signaling cars, being dragged away, beaten, forced to the ground and restrained as at least ten shots are fired within five seconds, leaving him motionless on asphalt. Witnesses can be heard screaming that he was killed. Officials including Stephen Miller and DHS secretary Kristi Noem labeled Pretti a domestic terrorist without presenting evidence, while a border patrol commander justified the force.
