Three civilians shot by federal agents in Minneapolis this month
Federal immigration agents have shot three civilians in Minneapolis this month, killing two and injuring one, amid an ongoing federal operation that has triggered mass protests, legal battles, and political confrontation between Minnesota and the Trump administration.
The latest incident occurred on Saturday when 37-year-old Alex Pretti, a US citizen and ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital, was fatally shot by a Border Patrol agent on Nicollet Avenue. The street, known for its multicultural restaurants and high pedestrian traffic, was the scene of what authorities described as a chaotic encounter between federal agents and protesters.
