#AlexPretti broke a rib in confrontation with federal agents a week before death edition.cnn.com/2026/01/27/us/…
"about a week before his death, he suffered a broken rib when a group of federal officers tackled him while he was protesting their attempt to detain other individuals."
In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security said that “DHS law enforcement has no record of this incident.”
It sure looks like they knew who he was, but don't want to reveal it was an #ICE #execution
It sounds like there was another ICE shooting today but there's almost nothing known about what happened.
"The individual, who has not been identified, was shot in southern Pima County near milepost 15 of West Arivaca Road at around 7:30 a.m., according to a news release from the Santa Rita Fire District. The fire department said it transported the person in critical condition."

A solo parent asked what they can do to resist ICE without putting themselves in the line of fire, knowing that their death would orphan their kid. Here are a few ideas.

"RIP, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an intensive-care nurse by trade. Intensive-care nurses, not typically being he most war-like people. And who the goon squad is already slandering as a 'domestic terrorist.' Yeah, I’m for stopping domestic terrorism, too. Which is why someone should arrest Stephen Miller, who takes demented pleasure in waging war on his own people. While prompting his corrupt boss to do the same."

"Another day, another dead Minnesotan. Shot in the street while getting pinned down by masked federal thugs. And Donald Trump and Kristi Noem and Greg Bovino wasted no time putting out narratives that don’t at all square with the videos we’re seeing. But who you gonna believe? Them, or your lyin’ eyes?"

"Remember dont bring a gun to a protest, unless its an illegal fire arm and you cross state lines and your name is Kyle. Then totally bring a gun, so we can call you a hero. 😒"

"They’re communicating this to the protestors and activists and the communities in which they’re operating: the more you resist us, the worse it will be for you and eventually you’ll have to back down. …
They believe public resisters will eventually have to knuckle under. So they’re happy to keep escalating. Because they have more and bigger guns and eventually those who oppose them will have to give in."

"What’s more, video evidence appears to show that ICE agents had already confiscated Pretti’s firearm in a scuffle before shooting him multiple times. …
The goal is submission and the strategy to achieve that goal is escalation. Miller, Homan and the leaders of ICE and CBP believe that they’ll come out on top at every step up the ICE/CPB escalation ladder."

"My best current understanding is that the dead man, Alex Pretti, 37, was legally carrying a licensed firearm and was at the scene in some sort of observer status or perhaps there to place himself between ICE agents and those they were trying to assault or arrest. Video evidence seems to show clearly Pretti never brandished his firearm and actually used clear non-confrontation signals in his engagement with ICE agents."

"Again we have an ICE killing in which the Department of Homeland Security gets a story out first which, on its face, appears to describe an armed civilian in the process of committing a massacre of federal law enforcement officers. …
As now happens 100% of the time, these early DHS narratives are willfully absurd and don’t survive contact with abundant video evidence emerging from the scene."

"Pretti worked as a nurse in an intensive care unit. In 2017, he was hired to support a Veterans Affairs medical trial, later moving on to work in critical-care nursing, according to the doctors who brought him on board. …
Dr. Aasma Shaukat, who co-led the trial with Drekonja, echoed the sentiment. 'He was just so sincere and very kind, just a sweet young man and eager to learn,' she told Zeteo."

"Zeteo spoke with two doctors who knew the victim to shed light on the man whom federal agents senselessly killed on Saturday.
'He was just a super nice guy, a super capable nurse,' Dimitri Drekonja, a doctor who knew and worked alongside Pretti, told Zeteo. 'And we are in a worse place for him being killed.'”

"Open carry is legal in Minnesota. The videos I have seen do not support the idea that he was trying to shoot ICE agents.
We also know that ICE tried to prevent local law enforcement from securing the scene and collecting evidence. ...
The simple truth is that none of this would have happened if Trump had not sent thousands of out-of-control, masked agents to terrorize people in an American city."

Video taken by bystanders shows agents wrestling the man to the ground and beating him before firing multiple shots.Madison McVan (Truthout)
"Video analysis disproves the entire Trump regime’s narrative. Freeze frames show agents firing as the victim recoils. Other frames show an agent pressing a gun into the victim’s chest while shots continue. The man’s hands remain visible and empty. The claim that this was a necessary response to an imminent threat is contradicted by the visual record."

"If the man was armed, the footage suggests the weapon was holstered. That is consistent with what Minneapolis police have already said publicly: the victim is believed to have been a lawful gun owner with a permit to carry. At no point in the available video does he brandish or point a weapon."
#Minneapolis #Trump #ICE #DHS #MaskedThugs #murder

"That refusal mattered, because video evidence from multiple angles began circulating almost immediately. The footage shows at least ten shots fired. It shows the victim’s hands appearing empty. It does not show him using a weapon, reaching for one, or threatening anyone. It shows a man shot to the ground and then shot again.
Federal officials quickly claimed the man threatened them with a gun. The videos do not support that claim."

"Multiple witnesses were on scene. One described it to us as “an execution.” Within minutes, Minneapolis police moved to secure the area. They were blocked by federal agents. According to the Star Tribune, federal officers attempted to order local police away from the scene. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara refused and instructed his officers to preserve the site."

"And that just looked like a flat out execution. I mean, even if the man was trying to struggle, even if as early... early reports from DHS are that he had a gun.
There's just no way that he could have, with that many people on top of him, really be a threat that would justify that kind of use of force."
