Illinois Valley Indivisible organized the vigil. Citizens stretched out on Wednesday night in front of the Third District Appellate Courthouse in Ottawa to make a statement about the recent events in Minnesota. The crowd was also there to support the Illinois Valley Nurse Honor Guard as it paid respects to Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse who was shot last Saturday by U.S. Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis. He served veterans,” Margie Francisco, a retired nurse and member of the Illinois Valley Nurse Honor Guard, said. The Vigil was organized by Illinois Valley Indivisible in light of the recent deaths caused by ICE agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
