On January 24, 2026, Minneapolis ICU nurse Alex Pretti, 37, was shot and killed by U.S. federal agents during an immigration-related operation outside a downtown intersection. His family released a statement saying, “We are heartbroken but also very angry,” called him a kindhearted caregiver who protected a woman, and disputed government claims that he brandished a gun. Bystander videos and witnesses show Pretti holding a phone and being pepper-sprayed and restrained before shots were fired. The killing prompted protests, renewed scrutiny of federal enforcement tactics, and calls for transparent local and criminal investigations into the incident and urgent accountability nationwide.
