ICE goons didn't attempt livesaving measures on Alex Pretti, choosing instead to "count his bullet wounds."

New witness testimony suggests that Border Patrol agents did not attempt to perform lifesaving measures after shooting Alex Jeffrey Pretti.

Instead, officers appeared to be “counting his bullet wounds,” the 29-year-old pediatrician shared in court filings. The physician’s statement was submitted as part of an ongoing civil rights complaint filed Saturday by the ACLU against the Department of Homeland Security, its secretary Kristi Noem, ICE acting director Todd Lyons, and more.

The physician ran over to provide medical assistance, but said that federal agents would not initially let them through to treat Pretti. The doctor said that none of the officers were performing CPR and that Pretti was on his side which they said is “not standard practice” for a shooting victim.

“Checking for a pulse and administering CPR is standard practice,” the testimony read. “Instead of doing either of those things, the ICE agents appeared to be counting his bullet wounds.”
