Family of ICU nurse killed by ICE speaks out after Trump’s ‘unpresidential’ attacks

Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestyleThe family of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse fatally shot by federal agents in Minneapolis, publicly criticized President Donald Trump for labeling Pretti an agitator and insurrectionist. Video footage of the January incident contradicted early administration claims, showing agents disarming Pretti and wrestling him to the ground before shooting him multiple times in the back. In an interview on “Good Morning America” that aired Tuesday, the Pretti family reflected on Trump’s Truth Social post in which he called Alex Pretti an “agitator” and “perhaps, insurrectionist.”“It’s so unpresidential. I mean, it’s ridiculous that the leader of the free world speaks that way about an American citizen,” Michael Pretti, the father of Alex Pretti, said in the interview.An attorney for the Pretti family stated that the Department of Justice has failed to reach out to the family regarding its ongoing investigation into the shooting. A White House spokesperson responded by stating that President Trump views Pretti's death as a tragedy and supports a fact-based investigation into the incident.
