US: Outrage Over Death of Nurse Shot by ICE - 'He Wanted to Change the World'

An American nurse, Alex Pretty, was shot and killed by federal ICE agents in Minneapolis, sparking outrage and protests. Pretty, 37, worked in a veterans' intensive care unit and is described by his family as a man who wanted to change the world. The incident comes weeks after the death of another American, Renee Goode, shot by ICE in the same city. Local authorities are questioning the Trump administration's claim that Pretty intended to attack the agents, while video footage from the scene appears to contradict it. The Department of Homeland Security claims Pretty approached the agents with a weapon, but does not clarify if he was holding it.
