Today, federal agents shot and killed Alex Jeffrey Pretti. A 37 year old man. A United States citizen. A Minnesotan. An ICU nurse who cared for veterans. A resident looking out for his neighbors -- as Minnesotans always do.

Read every word.

"Alex Pretti grew up in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where he played football, baseball and ran track for Preble High School. He was a Boy Scout and sang in the Green Bay Boy Choir." wisconsinwatch.org/2026/01/man-... (via @apnews.com)

‘Are You Kidding Me?’ Stephanie Ruhle was left shocked by exclusive video obtained by the network that showed masked federal agents ramming a father and son on their way to school.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Federal agents shot and killed a 37-year-old Minneapolis resident on Saturday, the city’s police chief said. The shooting prompted clashes between law enforcement and protesters, as Minnesota officials renewed demands that the Trump administration end its immigration crackdown. trib.al/u8ESi4Q

They think they can provoke us into abandoning our values. They are wrong. We will keep the peace. We will secure justice for our neighbors. And we will see this occupation end.

We can all see with our own eyes what ICE is doing to our neighbors. It’s time for the Senate to step up and do the right thing. Stop this violence.

There are too many angles to show otherwise. She is a liar and deserves to be in prison.

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

"Videos analyzed by The New York Times appear to contradict the accounts of federal officials, who said Mr. Pretti approached Border Patrol agents with a handgun and the intent to 'massacre' them. Video footage shows Mr. Pretti stepping between a woman and an agent who is pepper spraying her. ...

So far in Minnesota They Shot a 37-year-old mother Renee Good four times, killing her, right after she dropped off her son at school. Then Ice kidnapped a five year old. Then ice kidnapped a two year old Then border patrol murdered Va nurse. Then Sec Noam went on tv and lied about it

feds take turns shooting projectiles at protesters

BREAKING: We spoke to a witness of the fatal shooting in Minneapolis, who confirmed that the victim was an ICE-watch observer and not a target of immigration enforcement. W/ @jsweetli.bsky.social via @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2026/01/24/m...

Tomorrow's front page of the Minnesota Star Tribune: Jan. 25, 2026

It has been confirmed that Alex was a lawful gun owner and did not threaten ICE with a weapon. Early video reports indicate the weapon was taken by ICE and shots were then fired to execute him.

The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts. The thugs wrestled him to the ground. They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times. They murdered him.

ICE murdered another US Citizen, who was medical professional. An observer holding a phone, assisting a woman being assaulted by ICE. The multitude of videos are clear and the murderer needs to be arrested.

In MN, ICE tried to wall off local cops from a fresh shooting scene even as Trump ranted about “insurrectionists” attacking his “Patriots of I.C.E.” — that’s not public safety, it’s a fed paramilitary force staging domestic battlegrounds for a demented POTUS who threatens to unleash the military

US citizen. Public servant. Licensed to carry a firearm but had no weapon in hand when killed. Attacked by ICE agents with chemical munitions for no reason, then shot. The time for talking is over. If you are an elected leader you have to tell us *now* what you are doing to end this nightmare ASAP.

The victim of Saturday’s fatal shooting by federal agents in Minneapolis was identified as 37-year-old Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse.

Noem: "An individual approached US border patrol officers... The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently." Video footage from multiple angles proves that this is outright bullshit. Alex Pretti did not approach ICE officers nor did he react violently.

They say “where’s the gun?” — After the shots Because they don’t realize one of them had already taken it — before the shots

Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an ICU nurse. 😢💔🙏 He spent his life helping people, and now our government is peddling lies in an attempt to make you believe them.

That photo is from this video, which shows the victim being pepper-sprayed before going to the ground, after which ICE agents swarm him. When he’s on the ground being held and pummeled, his empty hands are visible An ICE officer runs off with a gun just *before* the shooting starts.

We’re supposed to believe this is a domestic terrorist attacking ICE with a gun

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

Gov. Tim Walz: "Thank God we have video, because according to DHS, these seven heroic guys took an onslaught of a battalion against them or something. It's nonsense, people. It's nonsense and it is lies."

An ICE\CBP goon sadistically mocked the murder of Alex Pretti telling people protesting his death "boo hoo" before walking away. Cruel and deplorable.

Minnesota’s justice system will have the last word.

Gregory Bovino refused to address whether Alex Jeffrey Pretti, who was killed by ICE, brandished a gun at federal agents.

Everyone ... even MAGA ... especially MAGA... must see this. Be polite, but get this to the MAGA cult members in your family. It shows that they executed a man protecting a woman, and lied about it. America ... it is Paul Revere time. Get on your horse. Godspeed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iGR...

“He was just so sincere and very kind, just a sweet young man and eager to learn,” she told Zeteo.

Protester: "It just feels like they're murdering the most peaceful people we have, the people who are out on the street, young, and trying to protect other people"

Minnesota Gov. Walz vows state investigation into DHS "lies" about shooting

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

The man who was murdered by ICE today was killed for filming them and more importantly protecting a woman from being attacked, he used his body to shield her. They murdered him for protecting her. He was a hero. #3E #GoodvsEvil

All regime mouthpieces who have lied about the murder of VA nurse Alex Pretti must resign immediately. All DHS officials and agents involved must be prosecuted.

They are literally gunning midwesterners down in their neighborhoods.

This is how the administration is maligning Alex Pretti A caring, 37 year old male US citizen who worked in the Minneapolis VA ICU as a nurse caring for sick veterans. This is shameful and indefensible.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

Walz: Minnesotans are witnessing, and we're creating a log of evidence for the future prosecution of ice agents and officials responsible for this.

Walz: "I call on all Americans to see the decency this state is exhibiting, and the horrific cruelty, unprofessional, absolute abomination that is passing for what these f--- ICE agents are doing on our streets."

Walz: Minnesota's justice system will have the last word on this. As I told the white house in no uncertain terms this morning, the federal government cannot be trusted to lead this investigation. The state will handle it. Period.
