Not all are called to be martyrs like Alex Pretti. But we can be witnesses.

Not all are called to be martyrs like Alex Pretti. But we can be witnesses.

(RNS) — It is hard to watch the video footage of Alex Pretti’s death. We see him attempt to record federal immigration enforcement agents on his mobile phone. We see him try to help two women pushed to the ground by the officers. Then we see a brutal horror unfold. Jesus said to tend the sick, visit the prisoner, welcome the stranger. He said whatever we do to the most vulnerable of our people, we do to him. Whom do we see as Alex Pretti is shot to death? Whom do we see in the photo of Liam Ramos, a 5-year-old Minneapolis resident detained along with his father? There are no photos or videos for most of the 3,800 children that the Department of Homeland Security has detained, according to the Marshall Project. Who will bear witness for them? We saw the image of federal agents forcing an elderly U.S. citizen into the snow barely clothed, after reportedly beating his door down without a warrant and holding him at gunpoint. A citizen!

Two CBP agents identified in Alex Pretti shooting

Two CBP agents identified in Alex Pretti shooting

The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez. The records viewed by ProPublica list Ochoa, 43, and Gutierrez, 35, as the shooters during the deadly encounter last weekend that left Pretti dead and ignited massive protests and calls for criminal investigations. Both men were assigned to Operation Metro Surge, an immigration enforcement dragnet launched in December that sent scores of armed and masked agents across the city. CBP, which employs both men, has so far refused to release their names and has disclosed few other facts about the deadly incident, which came days after a different immigration agent shot and killed another Minneapolis protester, a 37-year-old mother of three named Renee Good. Pretti’s killing, and the subsequent secrecy surrounding the agents involved, comes as the country confronts the consequences of President Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration crackdown. The sweeps in cities across the country have been marked by scenes of violence, against immigrants …

Alex Pretti shooting by federal agents prompts DOJ civil rights probe : NPR

People attend a candlelight vigil this week that was organized by health care workers and that took place at the site where Alex Pretti was killed in Minneapolis. Scott Olson/Getty Images hide caption toggle caption Scott Olson/Getty Images One of two shooting deaths of U.S. citizens in Minneapolis by federal agents is the subject of a U.S. Department of Justice civil rights investigation. The Civil Rights Division is investigating the Saturday killing of Alex Pretti but not the shooting death earlier this month of Renee Macklin Good by federal agents in Minneapolis, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said in Washington on Friday. Pretti was shot multiple times Jan. 24 as Border Patrol officers tried to arrest him while he was recording immigration officers on his phone. Blanche says the probe is separate from the Department of Homeland Security’s shooting investigation of the incident. “It means talking to witnesses. It means looking at documentary evidence, sending subpoenas if you have to,” Blanche told reporters at a news briefing Friday on multiple topics. “And the Department of …

Medical workers, union members, and veterans gather for an ‘ICE OUT NOW!’ rally and memorial for Alex Pretti outside the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center on January 27, 2026, in Chicago, Illinois. Jacek Boczarski/ | Anadolu | Getty Images The Justice Department has opened a federal civil rights investigation into the shooting of Alex Pretti, the Minneapolis resident killed Saturday by Border Patrol officers, according to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. “We’re looking at everything that would shed light on that day,” Blanche said during a media conference on Friday. The Department of Homeland Security also said Friday that the Federal Bureau of Investigation will lead the federal probe. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem first disclosed the shift in which agency was leading the probe during a Fox News interview Thursday evening. Her department said earlier this week that Homeland Security Investigations, a unit within the department, would be heading the investigation. “We will continue to follow the investigation that the FBI is leading and giving them all the information that they need to bring …
