Multiple arrests occurred in Minneapolis as agitators clashed with federal agents outside a hotel, following the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents. Demonstrators attempted to enter the hotel, believing Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were present, while federal agents deployed tear gas and threatened to detain protesters and journalists. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety described the demonstration as “not peaceful” and noted that arrests were made after the situation escalated. Pretti was killed while trying to assist a woman after being confronted by the agents, leading to community unrest over his death and a prior incident involving ICE.
