Statement from Veterans For Responsible Leadership
January 24, 2026:

Today, Veterans For Responsible Leadership mourns the killing of Alex Pretti, a Minnesota resident, U.S. citizen, and healthcare professional who served veterans through his work as a nurse with the Department of Veterans Affairs. Mr. Pretti dedicated his life to caring for others — including those who once wore this nation’s uniform — and his death at the hands of federal immigration agents is a tragedy that should never have occurred.

This incident highlights a deeply disturbing trend: the misuse of ICE agents as a de-facto paramilitary or secret police force operating inside American communities. These agents are being deployed without sufficient training, transparency, or coordination with local authorities, creating fear rather than safety. It is a betrayal of American values and constitutional norms.

We understand the anger and grief this has sparked in Minnesota and beyond. Those emotions are real and justified. But we urge calm. Violence and chaos only deepen the harm. The path forward is peaceful protest, civic action, and sustained public pressure — the very tools that have strengthened this democracy for generations.

We call on Americans to contact their Members of Congress and demand accountability, oversight, and immediate reform of federal enforcement practices that endanger civilian lives. Federal power must never be used to terrorize the people it exists to serve.

As veterans, we swore an oath to defend the Constitution — not a political agenda, not fear, and not unchecked authority. We honor Alex Pretti’s service by demanding a country worthy of it.

This video of Alex Pretti was posted on Facebook by Mac Randolph, the son of the deceased veteran, with this caption:

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

BREAKING: The family of Alex Pretti just released this statement about his killing by Trump’s goons:

“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”

Stabilised version.

One officer takes the gun from the guys holster.

Then a second later another officer shoots him in the back.

[Sam Stein @samstein]

By far the clearest of the videos and by far the most jarring.

[Ellen McNamara @Fox10Ellen]

This video posted on Reddit after the man was shot and killed in Minneapolis. Agents immediately surround crowd as well as the woman known as “pink coat lady.” People in the group are screaming… give me my phone!!!!!

‼️‼️ NEW: FOOTAGE AFTER FED AGENTS EXECUTE MINNEAPOLIS MAN, AGENTS HEARD FRANTICALLY ASKING WHERE’S THE GUN?

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

🚨BREAKING: New footage shows another angle of federal agents shooting and killing a 37-year-old man in Minneapolis.

There was ZERO justification for killing this American.

[William Coffin @CoffinItUp]

ICE Murder Victim: Alex J. Pretti (37) of South Minneapolis.

No criminal record.

Worked for the VA.

Legal gun owner.

Owned his own home.

RIP.

[Lincoln Square @LincolnSquareHQ]

This is the man executed today in Minneapolis for nothing more than exercising his First Amendment right to film ICE. The footage makes one thing undeniable: agents escalated a peaceful situation into a fatal one. This video is the definitive proof that completely dismantles the official DHS narrative.

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

.@JoshAllenQB is one of the greatest QBs of his generation. Yesterday, amid some huge and timely plays, he made a couple of mistakes that cost his @BuffaloBills. And he took responsibility for it.
In any pursuit, it's an inspiring example when leaders own up to their failures.
