Hundreds of people gathered on Saturday around a growing makeshift memorial for Alex Pretti, who was shot and killed by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis. Family members described Pretti, an intensive care nurse at a Department of Veterans Affairs hospital, as someone deeply committed to caring for others and outspoken against President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown in the city. He had joined protests following the January 7 killing of Renee Good by an ICE officer. Pretti, a U.S. citizen born in Illinois, had no criminal record beyond minor traffic violations, according to court documents. His death has intensified calls to end migrant persecution and federal violence in Minneapolis.
