BBC at Protests Near Scene Where Alex Pretti Was Shot Dead
- On January 26, 2026, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old Veterans Affairs Hospital ICU nurse and AFGE Local 3669 member, was shot while observing a federal immigration action in Minneapolis.
- National Nurses United , with more than 225,000 members, announced weeklong vigils and urged the U.S. Senate to block DHS funding and revoke $75 billion in ICE funding via H.R. 1.
- Bystander videos show Pretti aiding a pepper-sprayed person before multiple federal agents tackled and disarmed him, then fired at him at least 10 times while he carried a 9mm pistol.
- Labor leaders demanded investigations and accountability, calling for Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller to resign and for local authorities to act, with Seattle and Joliet vigils planned.
- Labor points to broader patterns and policy links as Pretti's killing follows Renee Nicole Good's earlier death, with unions citing 32 people who died in ICE custody in 2025 and rising support to 45 percent in a YouGov/Economist poll last week.
