Protests erupt after federal agents fatally shoot Minneapolis nurse
TL;DR Summary
Protests spread from Minneapolis to other U.S. cities after federal immigration agents shot and killed 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti during an encounter in south Minneapolis; video evidence shows a struggle in which Pretti was pepper-sprayed and wrestled to the ground before an agent fires as a gun appears in the scuffle. Officials offer conflicting explanations, with the Trump administration labeling Pretti a domestic terrorist while Minnesota’s governor calls that account lies. The shooting, coming weeks after a previous ICE fatality in the city, has intensified calls to end or curb ICE operations in Minnesota.
