Alex Pretti Was Unarmed & Immobilized When Shot Repeatedly in the Back – Payday Report
This morning, Alex J. Pretti, a 37-year-old immigrant rights activist, was shot repeatedly in the back while unarmed and immobilized by multiple agents of ICE and the Border Patrol. The killing is the second time this month that an immigration rights activist has been killed by Trump’s immigration agents in Minneapolis.
According to multiple videos analyzed by The New York Times and other websites, Pretti had attempted to intervene to protect a woman who was being beaten by federal agents. In the process, federal agents then sprayed Pretti in the face with bear spray. Several then jumped on him and beat him while he lay on the ground.
One ICE agent discovered that Pretti, who was a licensed firearm owner, had a gun on him in his pants. However, the video clearly shows that at no time did Pretti ever touch or attempt to brandish the gun. Indeed, he was completely immobilized with two federal agents holding him down, while another federal agent beat him in the face, and a fourth federal agent disarmed him.
After being disarmed, a fifth federal agent arrived and shot Pretti repeatedly in the back while two agents still restrained him.
Watch this video analysis, which shows that Pretti was unarmed and immobilized when killed.
