ICE Agents Placed on Leave After Minneapolis Shooting

Two ICE border‑control agents were put on administrative leave by DHS after shooting 37‑year‑old ICU nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis on 24 Jan 2026. Pretti was killed by 10 shots fired in five seconds during a struggle, sparking national outrage and becoming the second fatal ICE shooting of a U.S. citizen in Minnesota that month. The incident follows the death of Renee Good, an ICE‑shot victim, less than a mile away. President Trump urged de‑escalation, claiming Pretti should not have carried a gun, while White House aides such as Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem faced backlash. The case has intensified protests and scrutiny over ICE’s tactics in Minneapolis.
