He was just protecting a woman.

I have watched this first short video several times
It is clear that Alex was no threat to ICE but they took him down and shot him anyway.

An ICE man was pushing another protester down into the snow and Alex was trying to help her, then ICE continued to pepper spray. Alex was down when I hear the gun shots.

Alex Pretti was NOT the aggressor in ANY way! short video.........

'It is the facts!': Kristi Noem loses her temper, lashes out at reporters for challenging her claim that man shot by ICE

Ms Noem needed to watch a few more videos before opening her trap!!


'It is the facts!': Kristi Noem loses her temper, lashes out at reporters for challenging her claim that man shot by ICE 'attacked' agents
During a press conference just now, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem angrily lashes out reporters for challenging her outright lie that Alex Jeffrey Pretti, the 37-year-old man who was brutally shot and murdered by ICE earlier today, "attacked" the agents involved. Multiple videos of the incident indicate otherwise.

ICE agent after killing Alex Jeffrey Pretti: "Where's the fucking gun? Where's the gun? Did you take the gun?"



Hence why some ICE agent(s) (2nd vid attached) can be heard afterwards saying "where's the gun???".

Q: Why did the ICE agent(s) ask that?

A: Because the gun had been removed BEFORE they executed Alex!

That's why the gun wasn't in his hand nor near/on Alex's dead body.

The gun OBVIOUSLY should've been in Alex's hand or right next to his lifeless body if he was brandishing it. 🤯😑
