US EditionWhat Trump Officials Said About Alex Pretti, and What the Evidence Actually Shows
- On January 24th, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care unit nurse, was fatally shot by a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
- Amid an aggressive federal enforcement operation, the shooting followed less than three weeks after ICE agent Jonathan Ross fatally shot Renee Nicole Macklin Good, heightening tensions in Minneapolis.
- Video footage indicates multiple agents fired in rapid succession, with at least 10 shots fired within about five seconds, as shown in footage.

- Pretti held a concealed-carry permit, and political fallout has grown as Democrats including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer threaten action over ICE funding amid resignations by six federal prosecutors in Minnesota and an FBI agent.
