US EditionSee photos from Green Bay protest against ICE, shooting death of Alex Pretti
About 1,500 to 2,000 people protested ICE and federal immigration enforcement policies after the fatal shooting of Green Bay native Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents, organizers said.
- On January 25, 2026, Green Bay residents and supporters protested after federal agents fatally shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis on January 24, 2026, with police estimating 1,500 to 2,000 participants.
- Organizers framed the march as an emergency protest against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, condemning enforcement and highlighting the deaths of Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and the detainment of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos.
- Protesters met at CityDeck, marched over the Main Street bridge, walked along Broadway, and crossed Walnut Street while flowers and candles were left at Preble High School as a memorial.
- Local residents, including those who traveled long distances, joined out-of-town supporters and a 90-year-old attendee who braved the cold, showing broad community solidarity.
- With official and video accounts at odds, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said a Border Patrol officer shot Pretti after he approached with a handgun, but bystander videos do not show a weapon and appear to show him filming officers.
