'They Murdered Our Child': Alex Pretti's Family Speaks Out

Key Points:

• Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse, was fatally shot by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis during the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, and his family believes he was "murdered" and seeks justice seven months later.
• Footage shows Pretti was unarmed and holding only a phone when federal agents shot him multiple times after a struggle, with his licensed firearm removed by an officer prior to the shooting.
• The family learned of Pretti’s death from live TV coverage and have not received direct communication or a full explanation from authorities, leading to frustration and calls for accountability.
• The Justice Department, Department of Homeland Security, and FBI are investigating the incident, but the family’s lawyers say the status of the probe remains unclear.
• The Trump administration initially labeled Pretti a “domestic terrorist” and “assassin,” comments condemned by the family who demand an apology and accountability for the officers involved.
