Alex Pretti’s killing in Minneapolis on January 24 has heightened calls for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to change its tactics. By Eric Tegethoff, producerPublic News ServiceJanuary 28, 2026In the days and weeks since two protesters were killed by federal agents in Minneapolis, federal officials have called the victims dangerous domestic terrorists, and a Boise State University professor said such framing could have consequences for freedom of speech. A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot and killed Renee Good Jan. 7, and a Border Patrol officer did the same to Alex Pretti Jan. 24. Both were protesting the surge of immigration agents to Minnesota. An unspecified number of other federal agents are also expected to leave the city.
