Arizona faith leaders hold vigil at Phoenix ICE office in solidarity with Minneapolis
Arizona clergy and community members held a vigil at ICE's Phoenix office to honor Alex Pretti and call for investigations into federal immigration enforcement killings.
- On Sunday night, Arizona clergy and interfaith leaders held an impromptu prayer vigil at ICE's Phoenix office to honor Alex Pretti, who was killed by agents on Saturday.
- Vigil organizers said their goal was to stand in solidarity with Minneapolis residents and urged a state government-led investigation into the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
- Video footage and New York Times reporting show Alex Pretti was pepper-sprayed, grabbed by multiple agents, and at least 10 shots were fired, while federal officials claimed he approached officers with a gun.
- Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro urged terminating the Minneapolis enforcement mission and endorsed withholding Homeland Security funding this week, saying `By withholding the funds for this mission, I think she makes the exact right point`.
- Broader reactions have framed the Phoenix vigil as part of a pattern, with Pretti's death following Renee Good's Jan. 7 killing, prompting national tech workers and ICEout.tech to demand accountability.
