On January 24, 2026, 37-year-old US citizen Alex Jeffrey Pretti was shot multiple times and killed by United States Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The incident was the third shooting by federal officers in Minneapolis in seventeen days, and occurred amid mass protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The Department of Homeland Security claimed that Pretti approached agents with a handgun and the intent to "massacre" law enforcement; a review by The New York Times of available video found him holding a cell phone, not a gun, in the moments before the shooting.[1]
