The fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by federal officers in Minneapolis has shocked the world. 37-year old Pretti was a US citizen born in Illinois who grew up in Wisconsin. He was an ICU nurse and had no criminal record. Video evidence appears to show Alex Pretti only holding a phone and not brandishing a gun before he was shot by federal agents. Homeland security claims the agents were acting in self defence when they killed him and Trump’s key advisor has called him a “domestic terrorist.” Meanwhile, the Minnesota Governor has dismissed their allegations as “lies” and Pretti’s parents say they want the “truth” about their son.

Protesters in Minneapolis marched against ICE presence in the state Sunday, one day after the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by a federal agent. Pretti’s killing occurred less than three weeks after Renee Good, another Minneapolis resident and U.S. citizen, was shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer. A total of 3,000 ICE and Customs and Border Protection agents are now operating in the city, a force that is roughly five times the size of the Minneapolis Police Department, which has about 600 officers. A top ICE official said Sunday that federal agents had carried out roughly 3,400 arrests in the area, though he did not say how many arrestees had criminal records.
