Alex pretti

Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care nurse at the Minneapolis VA Health Care System, became the center of a national controversy after U.S. Border Patrol agents shot him on January 24, 2026. Pretti was a dedicated professional known for his "gentle soul" and strong sense of duty to American veterans. He also had a valid gun permit and no criminal record. He was a civilian observer during a federal immigration enforcement operation in South Minneapolis on the day of the incident. Videos taken by bystanders show him filming the scene and trying to help a woman who agents had pushed. The Department of Homeland Security first said he was an armed "domestic terrorist" who approached agents with a gun. However, video evidence and statements from local officials show that he was holding a cell phone and had his hands up in defense while being pepper-sprayed and tackled. The difference between what the federal government says and what the video shows has led to widespread protests, calls for investigations, and close examination of how federal agents use force in the city.
