Who Was the 37-Year-Old Killed by ICE Agents? - 'Disgusting Lies'

The 37-year-old man, Alex Jeffrey Pretty, who was shot and killed by ICE agents in Minneapolis, has been identified as an intensive care unit nurse at the city's Veterans Hospital. He worked at the Veterans Health Administration and had annual earnings of $90,783 in 2023. He was a graduate of the University of Minnesota and recently appeared on LinkedIn as a “junior scienti…”. The incident occurred when Pretty became involved in a confrontation with federal ICE agents. The Minneapolis Police Department is investigating the circumstances surrounding his death. Newly released video footage appears to show Pretty not drawing his weapon from its holster, but rather recording the actions of the agents. According to the video and testimonies, Pretty allegedly intervened to help a woman who was being attacked by the agents, before he himself was subjected to physical assault, pepper spray, and pursuit. Subsequently, an agent is alleged to have removed his gun before the shooting. Authorities claim the use of force was in self-defense, however, the video and testimonies challenge this account.
