Video surfaces of Alex Pretti clashing with federal agents days before fatal Minneapolis shooting

TL;DR Summary
A newly published video from The News Movement appears to show Alex Pretti, the Minneapolis nurse later fatally shot by federal agents, confronting ICE officers and kicking a government vehicle 11 days before his death, with reports he carried a gun and was tackled by agents. CNN cited his family confirming the man in the clip is Pretti and a facial‑recognition match reportedly at 97%, while DHS says it has no record of the incident. The footage has been used to argue that Pretti was not a peaceful protester, even as his family says he was attacked by agents prior to his killing, against the backdrop of intensified immigration enforcement in Minnesota.
