Disarmed-Then Killed: Video Shows Alex Pretti Was Unarmed When Border Patrol Opened Fire 1/26/26

from The Mark Thompson Show · host The Mark Thompson Show

Outrage boils over into protests after Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital, was killed by a Border Patrol agent. Trump administration officials say Pretti wanted to murder agents, but their claims about the shooting appear to be contradicted by video and witness testimony. A U.S. District Court Judge is granting a temporary restraining order against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to keep evidence connected to Pretti's killing from being changed or destroyed. We’ll talk about it with iHeart Radio and TV political analyst Gary Dietrich, and author and journalist Sarah Kendzior. The Mark Thompson Show 1/26/26Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!
