A shocking incident involving the killing of Alex Pretti by US border agents was captured on video by a crucial witness who has provided a chilling sworn account of the events. Pretti, aged 37, was fatally shot by federal agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The incident occurred as Pretti, an intensive care nurse, was seen filming a group of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers who were wrestling with him on the ground.
The witness, known as “pink coat lady,” has detailed the incident in a significant legal document as part of a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) against the Trump Administration. She mentioned being alerted to the presence of ICE officers in her community and decided to investigate the situation while on her way to work.
According to the witness, she saw Pretti filming the ICE agents, who were involved in a confrontation with another protester. The witness described how the agents used pepper spray extensively during the altercation, causing discomfort even to bystanders. She then recounted the moment when the agents shot Pretti multiple times, despite him allegedly not posing a threat and only trying to assist others at the scene.
Contrary to federal officials’ claims that Pretti was armed and posed a danger to law enforcement, the witness vehemently refuted these allegations. She expressed fear for her safety, claiming that agents were searching for her following the incident and that she had heard of other witnesses being detained.
The witness emphasized that the truth of the situation was being distorted by authorities, and she criticized the treatment of her community members by law enforcement. The family of Alex Pretti also rejected the official narrative, denouncing what they called “sickening lies” spread by the administration.
