Statement from the family of Alex Pretti, Michael and Susan Pretti:
We are heartbroken but also very angry.
Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.
The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.
Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.
We are all behind you.
ICE should not be wearing masks to hide their identity
More often than not, video is the only thing standing between a lie and a life being ruined by it.
Believe your eyes. Not the lies of the Trump admin.
ICE does not have immunity (no matter what J.D. Vance says)
United States Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem is such a liar.
Border Patrol Commander at Large Greg Bovino is a liar.
ICE is so messed up, it needs to be crushed and rebuilt from scratch.
ICE should be defunded until there is MAJOR reform.
Looks like Trump’s government thinks the second amendment is only for those who support Trump.
At this point, if you are a Trump supporter you are against humanity.
Impeach Trump. Make America Great Again!
Hopefully Trump will be impeached soon and out of office
Trump ’25 has been the worst presidency in U.S. history
I can’t imagine anyone wanting to be with an ICE agent – inhumane actions are the fastest turn off
