Jimmy Kimmel has delivered a poignant tribute to Alex Pretti, the Minneapolis ICU nurse fatally shot by federal agents, choking back tears during his Monday night monologue on Jimmy Kimmel Live. The late-night host dedicated much of his opening segment to the 37-year-old's death, highlighting the broader chaos in the city amid immigration enforcement operations.
Pretti, remembered as a dedicated caregiver to veterans, was killed on 24 January amid conflicting accounts of the incident. As of 27 January 2026, the event has sparked widespread outrage and calls for investigations.
