The Left Doesn’t Want You to Know This About Alex Pretti, the Man the Border Patrol Shot
PJ Media ^ | 25 Jan 2026 | Matt MArgolis

Posted on 01/25/2026 1:41:37 PM PST by Rummyfan

When Renee Good drove her car into an ICE agent earlier this month, the left tried to gaslight us into believing she was just some innocent bystander who was just at the wrong place, that she’d just dropped her son off at school and wasn’t supposed to be there. That narrative fell apart fast. Good, we soon learned, was a trained anti-ICE agitator who was absolutely there to obstruct law enforcement. Now we're watching the same playbook unfold with 37-year-old Alex Pretti, the armed agitator shot dead by Border Patrol agents on Saturday in Minneapolis while confronting agents.

The talking points are already circulating. Social media posts from the left keep hammering on Pretti's job as an ICU nurse, as if that somehow proves he was there with pure intentions. They are gaslighting you because they want you to believe federal agents gunned down a selfless healthcare worker for no reason.

That is not the case.

We already knew that Pretti was carrying a loaded handgun and two extra loaded magazines when he showed up at an active ICE operation targeting a violent criminal illegal immigrant. And like Good before him, Pretti wasn't some random citizen. He was part of an organized network dedicated to interfering with immigration enforcement.

And he brought a loaded gun.

Cam Higby from Newsmax spent days undercover inside the Signal messaging groups these activists use to coordinate their efforts. What he found was stunning in its sophistication. These aren't just angry citizens showing up to protest. This is a well-oiled machine running 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The man who was kiIIed by ICE was apparently in anti-ICE resistance signal chat groups

Do you know who’s running the chats?

Minnesota State Rep Alex Falconer.

He admitted it. He’s open about it.

When is he going to be hauled in for questioning?

Sooo… they’re going to deport anyone who “illegally” crosses into their little area?

And they won’t see the irony of it?

🚨 Leftists have now declared an AUTONOMOUS ZONE in Minneapolis, dumpsters dragged into the streets to BARRICADE entire city blocks while the anti-ICE protests rage on.

This is THIRD WORLD chaos!

Mayor Frey is a FAILURE!

I still say the Anti-ICE antifa fascists need to leave their guns and cars at home and bring their tromboners, whistles or anything else they can blow to their fiery peacenik riots to make their obnoxious, retarded noise.

And it hasn’t anything to do with St. Floyd George, the Sammies or the illegal aliens in America illegally to live a better life off the backs of the gringos.

Pride (🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈) and purpose fill Staring Lake Park

https://www.eplocalnews.org/2025/06/25/pride-and-purpose-fill-staring-lake-park/

Temperatures close to 100 didn’t stop the fun on Saturday, June 21, at Eden Prairie’s Party for Pride at Staring Lake Park. The crowd was treated to a variety of events, food and friendly conversation with local vendors, politicians and service providers.

Eden Prairie Mayor Ron Case and STATE REP. ALEX FALCONER (DFL-49A, Eden Prairie) gave short speeches.


Tents and tables offering information about LGBTQ+ resources lined the area. St. Andrew Lutheran and Eden Prairie United Methodist churches hosted booths side by side.

Eden Prairie United Methodist is working to establish a local PFLAG chapter, which will meet at the church once affiliated. PFLAG provides education, advocacy and support for LGBTQ+ individuals, families and allies.

So you’re anti-2A? I don’t disagree it’s not risky, but to say they need to leave their firearms home smacks in the face of 2A.

Keep in mind also that Pretti was UNLAWFULLY carrying his weapon, because he did not also have his license or his concealed carry permit on him, both of which are required in Minnesota.

This goes all the way up the corrupt chain of fools
