Title: Protests erupt across U.S. after ICE agent kills ICU nurse in Minneapolis Telegram: Protesters gathered in Minneapolis, New York, Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles after the fatal shooting of 37‑year‑old ICU nurse Alex Pretti by a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer during an immigration raid on Nicollet Avenue. The incident follows a January 7 shooting of Renee Nicole Good in the same city. Minneapolis police chief Brian O’Hara said the suspect was a legal gun owner, but federal agents fired “defensive shots” when a man allegedly armed with a firearm approached. ICE agents claim Pretti attempted to obstruct law‑enforcement operations. State Governor Tim Walz called for the withdrawal of federal agents from Minnesota, while the Department of Homeland Security’s spokesperson said the agent had eight years of experience. President Donald Trump criticized Democratic leaders, and Representative Alexandria Ocasio‑Cortez urged the withdrawal of ICE from Minnesota and the blocking of its funding. The death has sparked a national debate over immigration law enforcement and has intensified tensions between state and federal authorities.
