A newly released video shows Alex Pretti in a physical fight with federal immigration agents just 11 days before he was shot and killed by Customs and Border Protection officers. The footage, recorded on January 13, is raising serious questions about the growing tensions that led to the death of the 37-year-old intensive care nurse in Minneapolis.
According to CBS News, the video shows Pretti joining other protesters as they confronted federal immigration officers on a Minneapolis street. Pretti is seen kicking a government SUV and damaging its taillight. That action immediately prompted federal agents to jump out of the stopped vehicle and tackle him to the ground.
