Alex Jeffrey Pretti was killed by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis on Saturday.
The man fatally shot by US Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Saturday has been identified by his family as Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an intensive care unit nurse at the Department of Veterans Affairs and a US citizen.
The incident occurred amid heightened tensions between immigration officers and members of the public protesting the deployment of federal agents in the city.
The American Nurses Association (ANA) said it was “deeply disturbed and saddened” by Pretti’s death. “ANA condemns violence in our communities,” the group said, adding that the seriousness of this incident and others demands transparency and accountability and calling for an “unencumbered investigation.”
Dimitri Drekonja, chief of infectious diseases at the veterans’ hospital who worked with Pretti, described him as a “super nice” person who “wanted to help people.”
Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino said Pretti approached an officer with a handgun as agents were carrying out an operation to detain an unrelated illegal migrant. Bovino stated that officers fired “defensive shots” at Pretti after he “violently resisted” attempts to disarm him.
The incident took place two weeks after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis, sparking further protests. The Department of Homeland Security alleged that Good attempted to ram officers with her car, while local officials and activists rejected that account and said the shooting was entirely unjustified.

WATCH CLOSELY: The 51 year old suspect involved in today’s Border Patrol shooting can be seen reaching for his firearm as agents attempt to take him down
If I was a juror I’d hardly call that out of focus mess, evidence.
And the US doesn’t even limit its violence to its own borders, sadly.

Different story here.
And also 2 different stories on news pravda press revue
But in Tehran when the government shoots rioters with guns burning mosques and beheading cops it’s an “oppressive regime”!
👍
Kind of ironic that an organisation like ICE which is supposed to be shooting up illegal migrant hispanic and Islamic rapists is instead executing unarmed or legally armed white American nationals.

Clear video tha ICE was the aggressor
Once again general joe public interfering in fed business. Approaching an already heightened tension of agents ready to take down criminals who are probably armed & you approach the situation that is none of your business then get killed is on you nobody else. Didn’t even have the where for to stop & think about his family if he was killed.Instead was in his feminine side & logic went out the window. Imagine your in the theater trying to save a life & some knucklehead attempts to interfere which is what he did without know the background
You saved me writing pretty much the same thing. Why would you approach a law enforcement operation while armed and also refuse to follow what appears to be legal orders. What I don’t understand is why doesn’t every single agent wear a bodycam with the current situation?
The ICU Nurse probably pulled his ‘force multiplier’ when he was threatened by the Israeli-trained ICE criminals!
The Second Amendment allows you to do that, in stopping government tyranny and when such is threatening your life.
Was Pretti also a Combat Veteran?
Combat Veterans were classified as ‘Potential Terrorists’ over 20+ years ago!
Why?

Not even a little new. The US has been shitting on its veterans for decades. “Thank you for your service, now piss off! More below:
“I told that dumb son-of-a-bitch not to go down there,” Dwight D. Eisenhower would later say of General Douglas MacArthur’s decision to launch a deadly attack on protesting U.S. World War One Veterans and their families.

Fascism, plain and simple. As the shills and politicians gaslight us that he brandished a weapon. Anyone still defending these thugs needs to leave the Maga cult
Having 4 officers yelling different instructions is quite a challenge.
Most importantly, 1 less problem.👍
NOW for the others….
