Did the parents of Alex Pretti, the ICU nurse shot to death by ICE agents in Minneapolis, say their son quit his hospital job months earlier and showed "unusual behavior"? No, that's not true: A statement released by Pretti's

MINNEAPOLIS — An online fundraising campaign on behalf of the family of Alex Pretti, who was fatally shot in Minneapolis during a confrontation with federal immigration officers on Jan. 24, has raised more than $1.

Despite video evidence that Minneapolis nurse Alex Pretti was holding his phone before immigration officers shot and killed him, an image spreading on social media appears to show him wielding a handgun.

AFGE Local 3669 called the death of Alex Pretti “tragic and senseless” and said it is “especially disappointed” with U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs Doug Collins’ reaction.

More than a half-dozen GOP senators say there needs to be a probe into the fatal shooting of Pretti, a U.S. citizen, by Border Patrol.

Dozens of health care workers, union leaders and veterans held a vigil for Alex Pretti outside the Veterans Affairs Medical Center Tuesday afternoon.

Some internet users said the video, which spread widely after Pretti's death, showed medical staff honoring a patient during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Another American citizen has been shot and killed by US immigration officers as protests against ICE and border patrol intensify across the nation.
