Family Slams ICE ‘Thugs’
The parents of Alex Pretti issued a statement after their son’s death saying that they are “heartbroken but also very angry.” They remembered Alex as 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.”
They then go on to slam the ICE agents for the shooting and call out the false claim being made about Pretti. “The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting,” they continued. “Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs.”
