New video footage from different angle reveals more about latest ICE shooting in Minneapolis

What happened early Saturday in Minneapolis

Federal immigration agents fatally shot 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a Minneapolis resident and ICU nurse, during a federal immigration enforcement operation in south Minneapolis. Authorities say the agent fired in self-defense after Pretti allegedly resisted and had a firearm; local officials confirmed he was a lawful gun owner.

Numerous videos circulating online and verified by some outlets show Pretti initially filming agents with his phone, being pepper-sprayed and physically engaged by officers before shots were fired, raising questions about the official narrative.

The incident occurred amid a larger federal immigration enforcement operation that has already drawn intense scrutiny in Minneapolis, including after the earlier shooting death of Renée Good by an ICE agent on January 7, which has been officially ruled a homicide by the county medical examiner.

Local leaders, including Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey, have condemned the recent shooting and called for federal agents to leave Minneapolis, describing the situation as dangerously volatile.

Public reaction and protests

Outrage over Pretti’s death sparked demonstrations in Minneapolis, with crowds gathering at the shooting site and broader protests spreading to other cities.

Many residents expressed mistrust of federal law enforcement, citing past incidents and video evidence that appear to contradict official accounts of these encounters.

The situation has fed into ongoing national debates about federal immigration enforcement tactics, use of force, and community safety — especially given the proximity in time to Good’s death and other enforcement actions.

Ongoing investigations and official positions

Multiple investigations are now underway, including efforts by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and FBI, alongside federal reviews. Information sharing between federal and local authorities has been a point of contention.

Federal officials maintain that agents acted within policy and in self-defense. Local officials and advocates have urged transparency and accountability, emphasizing the need for clear evidence and public trust.
