Alex Pretti has been dominating headlines as the ICU nurse who was killed in Minneapolis last weekend by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents. “That’s just who Alex was,” said Travis Vanden Heuvel, who knew Pretti as a child through the Green Bay Boys Choir. We were part of a city-wide choir program called the Green Bay Boy Choir. Alex Pretti, who was killed by ICE on Saturday, Jan. 24, 2026, is pictured in his high school yearbook.
