Alex Pretti, 37, an intensive care unit nurse, was shot and killed by federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on Saturday, January 24, in Minneapolis, Minnesota[1][2][3]. The incident took place during an immigration operation on Nicollet Avenue in the Eat Street neighborhood, where Pretti was recording agents with his phone[1][2]. Agents used tear gas, knocked him to the ground, disarmed him of the semi-automatic handgun he had a concealed carry permit for, and then shot him multiple times[1][2][3]. Video footage shows he was holding a phone, not a gun, and analysis refutes claims of his intent to attack[1][2][3]. Nurses' organizations and colleagues expressed outrage and sadness at the killing[1]. Minnesota investigators filed a lawsuit against the federal government to prevent evidence from being tampered with as they were not allowed at the crime scene[3]. Barack Obama called the event a heartbreaking tragedy and a wake-up call for Americans[2].
