A tragic incident unfolded in Minneapolis where federal agents shot and killed 37-year-old Alex Pretti during a targeted immigration enforcement operation. Pretti, a U.S. citizen and nurse, reportedly approached the agents holding a phone, not a weapon, contrary to the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) claims. Eyewitnesses allege Pretti was filming the confrontation and was attempting to help others when he was tackled.
This shooting marks the second fatal incident involving federal agents in Minneapolis within weeks, leading to protests and calls for the removal of federal agents from the city. Videos of the incident show a chaotic scuffle that contradicts the official narrative of self-defense, prompting calls from Pretti’s parents urging authorities to tell the truth about their son’s death. The situation raises significant questions about federal enforcement tactics and transparency, as local authorities demand clarity amid rising public unrest.
