ICE agents were 'counting bullet wounds' in Pretti's body instead of giving aid: doctor
The first medical professional allowed to access Alex Prettis' body after he was held down by Department of Homeland Security agents and shot to death claimed they failed to administer any potentially life-saving aid — and instead appeared to be admiring their handiwork.
In a deposition given to lawyers seeking a judge's order to suspend ICE operations in embattled Minneapolis that have now led to two deaths of innocent locals and thousands of arrests, a pediatrician, whose name has been redacted to protect them from ICE officials and who lives on the street wher Pretti was killed Saturday, approached DHS officials and identified themself as a doctor and asked to help.
After initially being denied and asked to produce their medical license, which the doctor said they “obviously” didn’t have with them, they were finally allowed to approach after being patted down for weapons.
According to the deposition, “As I approached, I saw that the victim was lying on his side, and I was surrounded by several ICE agents. I was confused as to why the victim was on his side, because that is not standard practice when a victim has been shot.”
The doctor elaborated, “Checking for a pulse and administering CPR is standard practice. Instead of doing either of these things, the ICE agents appeared to be counting his bullet wounds.”
“I asked the ICE agents if the victim had a pulse, and they did not know.”
