A disturbing video capturing a Minneapolis shooting by federal immigration agents has sparked outrage, drawing comparisons to a recent killing in the city. The victim, identified as 37-year-old Minneapolis resident Alex Pretti, was fatally shot during an enforcement operation in the city’s south side. The incident occurred amidst ongoing protests following the death of Renée Good, who was fatally shot by an ICE agent on January 7, leading to widespread demonstrations.

Footage circulating online shows federal officers wrestling the man to the ground before firing multiple shots. Witnesses at the scene expressed shock and disbelief at the unfolding events. The man, armed with a handgun and ammunition, was shot multiple times and later pronounced dead at a local hospital. Authorities claim the agents acted in self-defense as the man resisted disarmament. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara confirmed the man was a US citizen.

The close proximity of these two shootings has intensified community anger. Good’s death, ruled a homicide, sparked protests and legal challenges against federal agents’ use of force. The latest incident occurred just over a mile away from where Good was killed, reigniting calls for federal intervention withdrawal.

Protesters gathered at the scene, confronting agents and clashing with law enforcement amid escalating tensions. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz condemned the shooting, denouncing the federal operation as “sickening” and calling for a reduction in immigration agent presence in the city.

Civil liberties advocates have raised concerns over the similarities between the two incidents, both involving federal officers killing civilians during enforcement actions, captured on video. They are advocating for independent investigations and accountability. The US Department of Homeland Security is reviewing the incident and pledges to provide further details as they become available.
