Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

β€œWe 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 β€˜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 had 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.

Yesterday, 50,000 Minnesotans peacefully protested to stop the terror being inflicted on our community. Today, ICE shot and likely killed another constitutional observer on the street. I can’t say this clearly enough: Congress has to stop this. The government is killing us. Congress has to act.

It's truly wild how many businesses are closed today. I'm sure the weather helped with that but still

Not sure if white squirrel will be closed til 5 or all day. Their calendar may just have put the "closed" event to end at 5pm

Fascism in Minneapolis: ICE agents punched him, beat him and arrested him…..because he used his whistle

Someone almost ran my wife, dog, and I over a month ago. He yelled out his SUV window saying we should not have been wearing black coats

Let's build a safer Summit! Summit Avenue can be both beautiful and safe! Tell the City of St. Paul you support safer walking, biking and driving options on Summit.

If you want to get involved in making sure the Summit Ave Regional Trail plan goes through, head to safersummit.org

Any support of the wealthy, out of touch β€œSave Our Street” people has deadly consequences. The car-centered design of this street and the area around it (Grand and Snelling S included) has killed and maimed too many people.

Not one death is acceptable, @mayorher.bsky.social.
