US EditionVigil for Alex Pretti Held at UC's Medical Campus
Hundreds in Greater Cincinnati held candlelight vigils organized by nurses and unions to protest ICE actions and honor ICU nurse Alex Pretti, shot by federal agents in Minneapolis.
- On Wednesday, vigils were held across Greater Cincinnati to honor Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old nurse killed by federal agents in Minneapolis last Saturday, with gatherings in Loveland, Batavia and outside University of Cincinnati Medical Center.
- Agency officials confirmed an active investigation and that the Border Patrol agents remain on administrative leave, with the agents not publicly identified, DHS said Wednesday.
- Local labor unions organized the events, including National Nurses United, as nurses and attendees cleared snow, set up tables with hand warmers and information, and passed candles hand to hand.
- Organizers used the vigils to call for abolishing ICE and reversing its funding, while participants held signs remembering Renee Macklin Good, who was also killed by a federal agent earlier this month.
- Cincinnatians said the vigils signal cross-city solidarity with Minneapolis, reflecting broader regional organizing after earlier demonstrations involving regional organizers including Chicago participants.
