At Some Point We Will Leave, Trump Says Of ICE In MN During WSJ Interview
Video and eyewitness accounts dispute federal claims of justified self-defense in Alex Pretti's shooting during immigration enforcement, with no released bodycam footage or evidence of hostile intent.
- On Jan. 24, federal officials said agents fired in self-defense after Alex Jeffrey Pretti approached them armed during a south Minneapolis operation, with a Border Patrol officer firing multiple rounds including after a brief pause.
- The operation, which has drawn criticism, followed the Jan. 7 fatality of Renee Good and involved the Minnesota National Guard temporarily assisting local police.
- Bystander and business video shows Pretti holding a cellphone and stepping between an agent and a woman, with agents shoving civilians, spraying Pretti with irritant, and pinning him beneath officers.

- Officials have not produced body camera footage, dispatch logs or a detailed timeline, and Ellison urged a full, impartial investigation while reviewers say intent cannot be determined from public video.
