A shocking incident involving the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by US border agents was captured on video by a key witness who provided a chilling sworn account of the events. Mr. Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care nurse, was shot multiple times by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The witness, referred to as “pink coat lady,” detailed the incident in a crucial legal document related to a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) against the Trump Administration.
According to the witness, she heard whistles alerting her to ICE activities in her neighborhood early in the morning. She decided to investigate the situation on her way to work and witnessed Mr. Pretti filming ICE agents. The witness described how the agents used pepper spray and forcefully subdued Mr. Pretti, who was not displaying any aggressive behavior. Despite claims by federal officials that Mr. Pretti was armed and posed a threat, the witness vehemently denied these allegations, stating that he was only trying to assist others at the scene.
The witness, now in hiding due to concerns for her safety, disputed the official narrative and expressed fear of repercussions from law enforcement. She criticized the treatment of her community by federal authorities and emphasized the discrepancy between their version of events and what actually occurred during the tragic incident.
