US Edition'Justice For Alex!' Rally, Protesting Death Of Nurse Shot By ICE Agents, Planned Today In Medford
Dozens of nurses protested to demand justice for Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse shot by federal agents; demonstrations spanned 15 states, organizers said.
- On Jan. 28, National Nurses United organized candlelight vigils nationwide, including about 150 people outside the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center in Chicago to honor Alex Pretti, who was shot and killed by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis on Jan. 24.
- During the Minneapolis operation, two federal immigration agents fired at Pretti Saturday, with DHS claiming defensive shots after alleging he approached with a firearm, but bystander video analyses show him holding only a phone and moving to help a woman.
- Nurses and union members said they are protesting, holding vigils, and invoking Pretti’s name at strike lines, while National Nurses United called for a week of action across 15 states demanding ICE abolition.
- Martinez's lawyer asked a judge on Monday to release bodycam footage citing recent killings including Pretti's, while Democratic senators vowed to oppose DHS funding, risking a partial government shutdown by Friday.
- Nurses warned that Pretti's death arrives amid turbulent staffing strains at Veterans Affairs medical centers, while concerns grow about federal agents appearing at hospitals and health care facilities after guideline rollbacks.
