I want to make sure that I'm not jeopardizing that, that I'm going to take them for their word right now, that they're going to reduce this force.
The NPR Politics Podcast · Does Alex Pretti’s death mark a turning point for Trump? · 26 Jan 2026
podcast
So the video shows Alex Preddy in this neighborhood in Minneapolis, a little after nine in the morning.
There was a person who was shoved to the ground.
Preddy appears to be trying to support this person who was shoved to the ground.
And during that, you see a swarm of federal agents approach him.
He has his phone out and then it escalates very quickly.
Federal officials have said that Preti approached agents in a threatening manner with a gun before he was shot and killed by an officer.
But it's very important to note here that video and eyewitness testimony from NPR News dispute that account.
I want to come at this a couple of ways.
Number one, I think it's important just for context.
On Friday, a producer and myself went out to some of these neighborhoods when there was this general strike that was happening where a lot of businesses had closed their doors.
Some of those businesses remained open to provide community support, to provide coffee to some of these witnesses, these ICE observers, as we've been seeing pop up in the Twin Cities, people who are keeping their eye on the streets and then alerting people.
When immigration customs enforcement agents are in the area.
I talked with people who were at these different businesses who were talking about the fear that they have the concern that they have, but also just the community coming together to look after their neighbors.
I mean, there's a very strong sense of that, especially in the neighborhoods in Minneapolis where I was.
You know, even driving down the street, you would see there was a median where, you know, this is very, very cold temperatures outside.
People had a fire going in the middle of this median.
They had whistles.
There's very much this neighborhood watch feel of throughout many of these neighborhoods.
And so, you know.
