ICE commits heinous crime again! Shoots and kills an American man on the street in Minnesota

前进Advance · January 25, 2026, 4:47am

In Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, on the 24th, there was again an incident of fascist thug ICE slaughtering protesters. The victim was an ICU nurse who had previously participated in protests against ICE brutality. Yesterday, he was just filming ICE’s atrocities with his phone, not carrying any weapons (he has a gun license, so even if he had a weapon, it would be legal), and he was helping a woman attacked by ICE. As a result, he was murdered in the street by these thugs on the grounds of “carrying a gun” and “attempting to assault the police”! What exactly is the background of these fascist ICE members, what is their relationship with Trump, what goals does Trump use them to achieve, and why are they so brazen? Looking forward to everyone’s discussion.

Alex Pretti’s family releases statement
The family of Alex Pretti, a Minneapolis man shot and killed by federal immigration agents this morning, released the following statement to several media outlets:

"We are heartbroken but also very angry.
"Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact.
"I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.
“Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.”

亚历克斯·普雷蒂的家人发表声明
今天上午，明尼阿波利斯居民亚历克斯·普雷蒂被联邦移民执法人员枪杀。他的家人向多家媒体发表了以下声明：
“我们心碎不已，同时也非常愤怒。
“亚历克斯心地善良，他深爱着家人和朋友，也深爱着他在明尼阿波利斯退伍军人医院重症监护室照顾的美国退伍军人。亚历克斯渴望为这个世界带来改变。不幸的是，他再也无法亲眼见证他的影响力了。
“我不会轻易使用‘英雄’这个词。然而，他临终前的最后一刻，也是他最后的行动，都是为了保护一位女士。政府对我们儿子的谎言令人作呕，令人愤慨。亚历克斯在遭到特朗普手下那些杀人如麻、懦弱无能的移民执法局暴徒袭击时，显然没有携带枪支。他右手拿着手机，空着的左手高高举过头顶，试图保护那位被移民执法局推倒在地的女士，而他自己却被喷了辣椒水。
“请公布我们儿子的真相。他是个好人。谢谢。”

I saw a news report earlier where an ICE fascist agent boasted that his annual salary was $200,000, while most agents earn around $50,000. It’s probably a thug recruited by Trump at a high price.

Correction: the murderer is not ICE, but border patrol agents who also belong to the Department of Homeland Security.

Regarding the relationship between ICE and Trump, there is a hypothesis and analysis.

Institutions like ICE are fundamentally similar to other law enforcement agencies, as they are state machinery controlled by the ruling class used for suppression. However, ICE and border patrol agents are indeed different from ordinary police and military forces. They are directly under federal jurisdiction, unlike state, county, and city police who obey local governments; unlike the National Guard, which requires governor approval; and unlike the federal military, which generally is not permitted to operate domestically. In short, Trump can relatively fully control this agency because it, like the FBI and CIA, is entirely under his (the President’s) command. However, the FBI and CIA have developed over many years and have various factions within, so they cannot be completely obedient to Trump; whereas ICE and border patrol agents, which were established after 9/11 under the banner of “counter-terrorism,” are specialized agencies created through restructuring and reorganization. They previously did not receive significant funding or grants, but now Trump can wield them for intense repression. This is a hypothesis and requires further research.

The Department of Homeland Security also detained a two-year-old child

There was also another incident recently where ICE shot and killed (firing three shots in a row to directly kill) a white woman who was helping immigrant workers, and accused her of interfering with law enforcement. Trump claimed that ICE was acting in self-defense. Below are the reports and excerpts from 《工人》 about this incident (such events are too numerous, and I haven’t updated with machine translations for a while, so I’m sharing a repost):

…
In Minneapolis, protests that began on the day of Good’s death have continued daily since then, with thousands taking to the streets, facing dozens of arrests, setting up roadblocks, burning American flags, and throwing snowballs at federal agents.
…
Since Good’s death, thousands have taken to the streets in Los Angeles to protest the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). On January 9th, in Santa Ana, protesters threw traffic cones and fireworks at federal police, who responded by firing “non-lethal” projectiles at protesters’ heads. According to mainstream media reports, one protester was permanently blinded in one eye.
…
In New York City, the night after Good’s death, over 1,000 protesters gathered. The crowd chanted “Christie Nom will be hanged,” “Fuck the immigration authorities, fuck the police” (in Spanish), and “Save lives, kill ICE officers.”
A protester told 《工人》: “We need to make them (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) afraid… Election politics can’t save us. Zolan (NYC Mayor Mummdani) can’t do anything.”

The atrocities committed by ice are simply infuriating! Based on the information I previously gathered, this incident is even more reactionary than the last ice shooting of a woman. The victim was an ICU nurse, and at the time of the incident, these fascist beasts were bullying a woman. The victim was filming with his phone while raising his other hand in protest, but this group of inhumane beasts directly attacked him with pepper spray and beat him. After the victim was knocked to the ground, they found that he was carrying a firearm—however, it is important to note that the victim had a valid firearm permit, and no force was used at the time—so they immediately found an excuse, falsely accusing the victim of intending to attack them with the gun, then they twisted his hands behind his back and executed him on the spot with a shooting stance.

It is hard to imagine that in the United States, a country that claims to be “democratic and free,” which still publicly proclaims to have (certainly formal) democracy, they actually organized a squad similar to the SS of the Nazi Germany, committing fascist atrocities akin to those of the Nazis. Even more infuriating is that after the victim was brutally executed by them, Trump and his MAGA supporters shamelessly reversed black and white, poured dirt, attacked the victim, and tried to glorify the fascist beasts who committed the atrocities as victims, and to portray the victim as the perpetrator—this is utterly shameless! The outrage is shared by gods and men alike!

Fascism is a manifestation of the bourgeoisie’s weakness because fascist dictatorship shows that the bourgeoisie can no longer maintain its rule through old methods. No matter how crazy the current Trump administration is, no matter how much the American monopolist bourgeoisie kills people, and no matter how much these American monopolist mouthpieces distort black and white, lies written in ink cannot hide facts written in blood. Blood debts must be paid with the same coin. The longer the delay, the greater the interest to be paid! Sooner or later, the American people will definitely settle the blood debt owed by these damn robbers and running dogs!

I saw an American netizen say: I hope I live long enough to see the Nuremberg Trials of our era.

I just checked the news earlier. A few days ago, after the shooting of Renee Good, Minnesota held a massive strike, which according to some articles, was even the largest in nearly a century. The workers in this strike raised political slogans such as expelling ICE, arresting the murderer, and stopping funding for ICE, so it was clearly a political strike rather than purely economic.

Furthermore, as the strike activities continued to escalate, JD Vance, this scoundrel, went to Minnesota and held a roundtable with local leaders and business representatives, accusing the current chaos in the state of being due to【the government, local officials, including elected leaders and law enforcement agencies, lacking cooperation or coordination during federal immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations】, turning the spontaneous movement of the masses into “chaos,” and calling on Minnesota’s elected officials and law enforcement to “give way” and “ease the tension.” His blatant distortion of facts, confusion of right and wrong, and muddying the waters, claiming as if the local people went to ICE’s home to kill people, rather than ICE killing people on the street, this good dog and scoundrel of American monopoly bourgeoisie, is simply shameless!

The movement is still escalating. Since Pretti was murdered, the anger of the people has grown even more, and the calls to oppose Trump’s fascist dog have even started to appear in so-called red states, and cannot be suppressed anymore. This shows that fascism is truly unpopular. Trump, JD Vance, and these pests want to maintain their rule through fascist dictatorship, even forming their own SS stormtroopers. But their actions are only shooting themselves in the foot. Sooner or later, they will become rats crossing the street, everyone shouting to beat them (which is already almost the case now).

It also shows that the mass movement and struggle are spontaneous, organized by local unions, community organizations, so-called faith leaders, and some activists. Clearly, many of these people are not truly on the side of the people, but serve the bourgeoisie opposing Trump’s faction. Without the leadership of Marxist parties, the struggle of the masses is very likely to be sabotaged and suffocated. Because once the masses rise up, the bourgeoisie—regardless of which faction they belong to—will first do everything to suppress the movement. Those “activists,” “faith leaders,” and upper-level union members may ultimately turn against the masses.

Today I also saw news about the so-called “immigration management police” who were “sacrificed for public duty” being memorialized by Zhongxiu, trending on the hot list. It’s truly disgusting. Reporting such things when protests against ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) are sweeping the United States shows that Zhongxiu and American imperialism are completely of the same kind in their opposition to the people.

Milan community organizations hold protests against ICE’s involvement in security for the Milan Winter Olympics.
