U.S. authorities have issued an important update in the fatal shooting of Alexi Pretti, an intensive care nurse who died during an ICE operation in Minnesota. The case has sparked protests and strong public reaction across the country.
Public records have now identified the two federal agents involved in the shooting. Following growing outrage, the White House confirmed that both officers have been placed on indefinite leave while the investigation continues. The operation took place as part of a large ICE deployment ordered under Donald Trump.
A medical examiner has officially ruled Pretti’s death a homicide caused by multiple gunshot wounds inflicted by law enforcement. The report found no other medical issues that contributed to his death. This ruling has significantly raised the legal stakes in the case.
Witnesses have come forward to share their accounts, saying Pretti did not appear to pose a threat at the time of the incident. Their statements have intensified calls for accountability and greater transparency around federal law enforcement actions.
With the death now classified as a homicide, prosecutors may consider criminal charges, though no decision has been announced. The investigation is ongoing, and the case has become a focal point in the wider debate over ICE operations and the use of force by federal agents.
