Alex Pretti, a VA nurse and union member


This info was in an email from Fight For A Union.

Not even a day after Minnesotans and working people across the country flooded the streets to protest ICE in our communities, ICE killed yet another person, with all of us bearing witness.

Alex Pretti, a VA nurse and union member, was brutally shot and killed. He was executed by ICE agents while standing up to help his neighbors. He was there to help, but all ICE knows how to do is hurt.

We must be ready for when ICE comes for our communities. We must be ready to document everything they do. It’s our right to record ICE and federal agents. Recording ICE has ensured we can all see and provide clear evidence when people are hurt.
