Alex Pretti, 37, an ICU nurse, was fatally shot by U.S. Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis on January 24, 2026, amid heightened federal immigration enforcement. DHS says Pretti approached agents with a 9mm handgun; bystander videos and witnesses show him filming, being pepper‑sprayed and wrestled before agents fired, raising questions about the official account. Right‑wing reporter Cam Higby posted screenshots saying he infiltrated encrypted Signal “rapid response” chats used to track, dox and swarm ICE agents and identified Pretti as a member; social posts say a neighbor told The Mirror US he belonged to groups. Those infiltration claims remain unverified. (apnews.com)
