The body cam footage showed her final words, “It’s okay, I’m not mad at you” while someone in the background called her a “fucking bitch”.

2026-01-23 ICE fatally shot and killed 37-year-old VA nurse Alex Pretti when he tried to help a woman surrounded by ICE. According to sources, Pretti did have a concealed carry license. DHS reported they killed Pretti because he threatened to shoot ICE agents, but several witnesses and captured video showed Pretti only holding his phone. Six ICE agents tackled Pretti and removed what appeared to be a gun from him, pepper sprayed him, held him face-down and then shot him several times in the back. After the shooting, DHS refused to share evidence with local investigators and blocked Minnesota law enforcement from the crime scene.

2026 February
2026-02-03 Trump and Republican figures like Jeanine Pirro, Dan Bongino, Kristi Noem and Kash Patel admonished Alex Pretti for carrying a concealed weapon, stating nobody should be bringing guns to a protest. For context, Kash Patel tried to help Rittenhouse sue Biden and the media for character assassination even though he brought guns across state lines to a protest. In August 2020 Kyle Rittenhouse, a 17-year-old at the time, drove from Illinois to Wisconsin with an AR-15 and shot three protesters in the wake of the Jacob Blake shooting. He was hailed by Conservatives as a defender of Second Amendment rights and was acquitted on all charges including first-degree intentional homicide.
