American journalist Megyn Kelly has sparked a fresh wave of backlash after saying she does not feel sympathy for Alex Pretti, the 37-year-old ICU nurse fatally shot by federal agents during an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Her remarks, delivered on her SiriusXM podcast on Monday, landed as bystander video from the scene continued to circulate and intensify scrutiny of the shooting.

Kelly argued that protests must be conducted peacefully and without interfering with officers, warning that physical confrontation with Border Patrol or ICE agents can rapidly escalate into life-threatening situations. 'I know I'm supposed to feel sorry for Alex Pretti, but I don't,' she said, adding that those who obstruct law enforcement assume responsibility for the risks that follow.
