Multiple Outlets Say Video and Witness Accounts Contradict Trump Administration Narrative in Minnesota Shooting
Video and witness accounts contradict DHS claims, showing Alex Pretti unarmed and filming before federal agents shot him during protests, fueling calls for independent investigation.
- On Saturday, Jan. 24, 2026, a U.S. Border Patrol agent shot and killed 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti after a roughly 30-second scuffle outside Glam Doll Donuts in south Minneapolis.
- During a federal enforcement operation tied to Operation Metro Surge, the Department of Homeland Security said officers fired `defensive shots` after Pretti approached with a 9 mm semiautomatic handgun and `violently resisted` disarm attempts.
- Multiple bystander videos show Pretti holding what appears to be a cellphone moments before he is tackled, and other clips depict officers seen on top of Pretti before the first shot, with footage not clearly showing who fired.
- By Saturday evening, more than 200 people gathered in the Whittier neighborhood demanding accountability as city and state leaders called for independent investigations and requested National Guard support.
- Amid broader scrutiny, officials including Stephen Miller and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem contested video evidence, as the killing marks Minneapolis's third federal shooting this month.
