US EditionMultiple Outlets Say Video and Witness Accounts Contradict Trump Administration Narrative in Minnesota Shooting
Multiple videos verified by major news outlets show Alex Pretti was holding a phone and disarmed before being shot at least 10 times by federal agents during protests.
- Video reviews by The Associated Press show Border Patrol agents shot dead Alex Pretti during a roughly 30-second scuffle on an icy Minneapolis roadway on January 24, with multiple videos contradicting DHS claims of defensive shots.
- Operation Metro Surge drew heavy local protests, with protesters routinely disrupting enforcement by whistling and honking; the incident was Minneapolis's second fatal federal shooting this month after Renee Good's death.
- Video footage shows Border Patrol officers drawing guns and one backing away with a gun just before shots; multiple videos show Alex Pretti holding only a phone and none show a weapon.
- The killing sparked protests and demands to end the operation, with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey condemning `more than six masked agents pummeling one of our constituents, shooting him to death`, while DHS leaders defended the agents' actions.
- National coverage amplified the dispute as Stephen Miller called Pretti `a would-be assassin` and President Donald Trump shared images of the recovered gun, intensifying attention.
