Alex Pretti

Alex Pretti was a 37-year-old intensive care nurse working for the Department of Veterans Affairs. He was fatally shot by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis on January 24th. This event, along with the death of Renee Good, has sparked widespread protests against ICE and the Trump administration's immigration policies. The Department of Homeland Security initially provided a specific account of the shooting, but it has been challenged. Pretti's death has become a focal point for national outrage, with numerous anti-ICE protests planned across the US. His death and the circumstances surrounding it have fueled debate about the role and actions of federal immigration agencies, leading to calls for defunding them. Nurses and other citizens are vowing to continue protesting until the care patients need is provided.
