"Pretti was filming Border Patrol activity in public when agents approached him and a nearby woman before knocking her to the ground. Video shows the 37-year-old Pretti attempting to help the woman, but agents pepper-sprayed both of them and tackled Pretti to the ground. One of the agents can be seen removing Pretti's holstered firearm, for which he had a permit. At no point was Pretti holding the weapon. After disarming Pretti, agents shot him 10 times."
"If you want to lay blame at somebody's feet, it is squarely on Tim Walz and the Minnesota officials who have called ICE the modern-day Gestapo, who have told ICE to get the F out of our city, who have encouraged their citizens to protest against ICE, to blow whistles against ICE, to organize Signal chats against ICE, Mizelle said."
Alex Pretti, 37, was filming Border Patrol activity in public when agents approached him and a nearby woman, knocked the woman down, pepper-sprayed both, and tackled Pretti. An agent removed Pretti’s holstered firearm, for which he had a permit, and Pretti never held the weapon; after being disarmed, agents shot him ten times. The shooting was the second deadly use of force by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis that month, following the killing of Renee Good, 37. A former Department of Homeland Security official blamed Governor Tim Walz and Minnesota officials for encouraging protests against ICE, prompting a heated dispute over attribution and First Amendment rights.
