Alex Jeffrey Pretti, 37, bit off the finger of a Homeland Security Investigations officer's finger before he was shot dead Saturday in Minneapolis, according to Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.
"In Minneapolis, these rioters attacked our law enforcement officer and one of them bit off our HSI officer's finger," she wrote on X. "He will lose his finger."
Family members say Pretti was an intensive care nurse at the Veterans Administration who cared deeply about people and was upset by President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown in his city.
He had participated in protests following the killing of Renee Good by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Law Enforcement officer earlier this month.
"We had this discussion with him two weeks ago or so, you know, that go ahead and protest, but do not engage, do not do anything stupid, basically," Michael Pretti, Alex's father, told The Associated Press. "And he said he knows that. He knew that."
The Department of Homeland Security said that the man was shot after he approached U.S. Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semiautomatic handgun. Officials did not specify if Pretti brandished the gun, and it is not visible in bystander video of the shooting obtained by The Associated Press.

Was it the figure the boy used to put the trigger on his pimp Saturday Night Special.
“””Alex Jeffrey Pretti, 37, bit off the finger of a Homeland Security Investigations officer’s finger “””
You bit off my finger. I shot you in the nuts. Let’s call it even.
Must have not heard that last part.
I heard her, and she did not ID the biter.
There are obviously mentally disturbed people in MN who do not believe in law enforcement. No wonder they elect Tampon Timmy as governor.
“Pretti was an intensive care nurse”
Yet another demon possessed nurse. WTH anyway?
He obviously didn’t care very deeply about the Homeland Security Officer whose finger he bit off.
"do not engage, do not do anything stupid"
Obviously he did.
Rosie O’Donnel: I don’t believe he bit off the agent’s finger. The agent probably bit his own finger off. Or maybe it was one of those plastic, gag fingers.
This article tells a lot about him. Far lefter who also helped burn down Minneapolistan after Saint George Floyd overdosed. Just an overall great guy.
Minneapolis zombies gotta eat!
I’m not sure he was the protester that bit off a finger. I saw different info on X.
If he cared about people why didn’t he consider the unfairness of those immigrants who are trying to immigrate legally.
When did white liberals become so aggressive and violent? They weren’t always so. Their liberal parents were tree hugging Kumbaya types. What happened? Does anyone know? Adding some long standing members.
Hopefully it can be surgically reattached.
Giving the finger is supposed to be figurative not literal.

You must have slept through the 60s, remember The Weather Underground?
