Trump watches video of Alex Pretti days before his death—and his comment about the ICU nurse has people calling it ‘disgusting’

President Donald Trump caused major backlash after making controversial comments about Alex Pretti, the ICU nurse who was killed by federal agents last weekend. Trump responded to a newly released video showing Pretti in a fight with masked agents days before his death, saying that Pretti’s “stock has gone way down.”

Pretti was a 37-year-old ICU nurse who worked at a veterans’ hospital. He was shot by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents on Saturday, January 24. When the shooting happened, Pretti was reportedly trying to help a female protestor off the ground. His death has increased anger across the country about immigration enforcement and Trump’s nationwide crackdown.
