US Border Patrol Kills ICU Nurse Alex Pretti - Under Color of Law with Shan Wu
Today federal agents killed 37-year old Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Pretti was an ICU nurse who worked at a VA hospital, a U.S. citizen and a licensed gun owner.
Greg Bovino – head of U.S. Border Patrol & DHS Chief Kristi Noem immediately claimed that Pretti approached the masked federal agents intending to massacre them and refused to be disarmed – claiming the killing was justified because the federal agents feared for their lives.
If you were to believe the narrative from Bovino and Noem one would imagine the victim Pretti confronting the agents with gun in hand. But do multiple videos from multiple angles support this narrative? Shan Wu breaks it down. Warning: the video links here are graphic and disturbing. - 01/24/2026.
