CW / Hannah Grace Mayfield Alabama students gathered in front of Gorgas Library to protest ICE on Jan. 25, 2026. That was until he was killed by Border Patrol agents on Jan. 24. Pretti’s death came just two weeks after the killing of another U.S. citizen, Renee Good, at the hands of ICE agents. Video showed Pretti assisting another protester who had been pushed to the ground by Border Patrol. Counterprotestors prayed for ICE agents and cheered on their favorite brownshirt ruffians.
