New angle shows chilling thing federal agent did after Alex Pretti was killed during ICE protest

The earlier January 13 clash ended with federal agents spraying gas/pepper spray into bystanders and departing without arresting Pretti.

📌 What happened later

• On January 24, in a separate encounter during another protest against ICE operations, Pretti was shot and killed by Border Patrol and CBP officers. Authorities claim he approached with a weapon, but multiple news outlets report that video shows he was holding his phone and was already disarmed before shots were fired.

• That shooting sparked national outrage, protests, and federal/state scrutiny, with investigations ongoing.

📊 Ongoing context

This series of events is part of larger tensions around federal immigration enforcement operations in Minneapolis following deaths during protests. Federal and local leaders have since been debating policy and practice changes.
