White hot rage: Minneapolis protests ICE after Alex Pretti shooting
Minnesota residents erupt in outrage after ICU nurse Alex Pretti was shot by agents amid Trump’s 2,000‑officer deployment.
On January 27 2026, Minneapolis residents erupted in outrage following the fatal shooting of ICU nurse Alex Pretti by Immigration Customs and Enforcement agents. The incident coincided with President Donald Trump's deployment of more than 2,000 ICE officers to Minnesota. Locals gathered outside the Veterans Affairs hospital where Pretti worked and the federal Whipple Building, chanting “Hope” and lighting candles. Former U.S. military member Ashley Watson displayed a reversed U.S. flag as protest. Others—tactical shop owner JP Pritchett, international‑relations professor Tony Lott, and renters‑rights director Jennifer Arnold—shared stories of fear and resilience. The protests spotlight Minnesota’s growing resistance to federal enforcement push amid ongoing immigration crackdowns.
