Federal agents enforcing President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown shot and killed 37-year-old Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, marking the third federal-agent shooting in the city this month and the second fatality. Pretti worked as a nurse at a Veterans Administration hospital. The killing intensified backlash against the administration's immigration and deportation policies and prompted widespread condemnation within the tech community. Several prominent tech figures condemned the shooting, criticized law enforcement practices, and warned of further domestic deployments. Some tech leaders who previously welcomed deregulation and cryptocurrency-friendly policies publicly questioned their support and called for accountability.
