Statement from the family of Alex Pretti, Michael and Susan Pretti:
“We are heartbroken but also very angry.
Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.
The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.
Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you”
@GazetteOnIowa@webcentrick Congrats Mark on an amazing run! I had the honor of him announcing my 21st birthday at the stadium, thanks to his lovely daughter, Leslie.

Kiki Iriafen is exhibiting some extraordinary leadership right now. She’s the best player on the court right now and she’s making sure her team knows that she’s ready to step up. Brilliant performance.
