Protests erupted immediately, and Trump officials rushed to make outlandish claims about Pretti, the man who was shot even falsely labeling him an assassin.

'Pull violent, untrained ICE officers out of Minnesota now' - man shot dead in Minneapolis named as US citizen Alex Pretti

As the videos begin, Pretti can be seen filming as a federal agent pushes away one woman and shoves another woman to the ground. Pretti moves between the agent and the women, then raises his left arm to shield himself as the agent pepper sprays him. Several agents then take hold of Pretti - who struggles with them - and force him onto his hands and knees.
