Why ICE’s killing of Alex Pretti is ‘different’ | Simon Marks
Mon 9:12 pm +00:00, 26 Jan 2026 1James O’Brien is joined by Simon Marks after the fatal shooting of anti-ICE protester Alex Pretti.
ICU nurse Alex Pretti, 37, was shot dead on Saturday, marking the second killing of an anti-ICE protester in the city of Minneapolis in the space of a single month.
Graphic footage taken by an onlooker showed the moment the 37-year-old was gunned down by federal agents in front of terrified protesters.
Another clip shows him attempting to stand between federal agents and a person one of them has just shoved to the floor.
Videos from the scene appear to show Mr Pretti beings restrained on the ground, with claims by the Department of Homeland Security that he “brandished” a gun being slammed as “lies” by critics, including the victim’s family.
“This is so easy: they aren’t even trying to make these things look real anymore.
The fakes are now coming daily, as they ramp up the chaos more and more to cover previous fakes.
Today another actor was allegedly killed by ICE in Minneapolis, this time a guy said to be from Green Bay or Milwaukee
The whole thing collapses on his name: Alex Pretti.
Yes, you read that right: Alexander Pretti. Is he pretty? No, but he does look exactly like we would expect, and then some. Long narrow face, Phoenician nose, pasted into a doctor’s smock with a flag behind him. Add your own violins.”
