Man shot dead by federal agents in Minneapolis was an ICU nurse, family says
ICU nurse Alex Pretti was shot dead by ICE agents in Minneapolis, sparking protests and a national debate on immigration enforcement.
On January 24, 2024, Minneapolis residents watched Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents shoot and kill Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37‑year‑old intensive‑care nurse from Illinois. The incident occurred just after 9:00 a.m. in the city's Whittier neighbourhood, where Pretti allegedly carried a 9‑mm handgun. DHS said the agents fired in self‑defence, a claim disputed by local officials and video evidence that contradicts the federal narrative. The shooting followed the fatal January 7 ICE death of R. Nicole Good, sparking protests and drawing the Minnesota governor’s condemnation of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. The fallout saw police establish a vehicle‑exclusion zone, the National Guard activated, and Mayor Jacob Frey call for calm amid escalating tensions.
