Alex Pretti Broke Rib in Clash with Federal Agents a Week Before Death: CNN

Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old nurse, was shot 10 times by Border Patrol while filming; the incident has sparked protests, political debate, and legal challenges over federal deployments.

  • On Saturday, U.S. Border Patrol agents fatally shot Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old Veterans Affairs ICU nurse, in Minneapolis, and video captured 10 gunshots within five seconds.
  • The deployments in Minnesota followed the killing of Renée Nicole Good, sparking Minnesota protests and neighborhood watches against ICE and U.S. Border Patrol operations.
  • Investigators say the Department of Justice declined a civil rights probe while the Department of Homeland Security investigates its own officers and the FBI notes most evidence was turned over to DHS.
  • State officials responded by filing a lawsuit and temporary restraining order against federal deployments, demanding ICE and CBP leave cities, while Wisconsin Republican lawmakers including Rep. Tony Wied urged calmer rhetoric and pressed for answers.
  • Advocates note, within three weeks, ICE and CBP have shot and killed two U.S. citizens, prompting calls for FBI-led investigations, as FBI and former agents call for independent probes.
