Minneapolis ICE Shooting: Was the Killing of ICU Nurse Alex Pretti Justified?

In this episode, we break down the fatal Minneapolis ICE-related shooting that left 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti dead during a federal immigration enforcement operation. Federal officials say Pretti was armed and that agents acted in self-defense, but multiple witness videos and eyewitness accounts appear to contradict key parts of the official narrative. We walk through the timeline of what happened, what the Department of Homeland Security claims, and what the footage seems to show, including moments where Pretti appears to be filming and attempting to help others during the encounter. With two federal agents firing shots and national attention now focused on the case, we examine whether this was a justified use of force or another example of federal agents escalating a situation that turned deadly. As investigations continue and political pressure mounts, this case has become a flashpoint in the national debate over immigration enforcement, civil liberties, and the use of deadly force. Tonight, we separate fact from spin and ask the question many Americans are asking, was the killing of Alex Pretti justified?
