Alex Pretti was shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis yesterday.

After the shooting, members of the Trump administration smeared his name. Stephen Miller called him a "would-be assassin" who "tried to murder federal law enforcement."

Lies.

Alex Pretti was a VA nurse. Someone who devoted his life to helping veterans. Late last night, his parents asked everyone to "get the truth out about our son."

And since we have a platform, that's what we're going to do. Here's what they had to say:

"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."

Petti was not attempting to harm anyone. He was swarmed, beaten, and disarmed by vicious federal agents who were looking for someone to hurt. Once they had removed his gun — which he had a legal permit to carry — they executed him in cold blood by firing numerous bullets into him. Then, the Trump administration proceeded to immediately falsely smear him as a "terrorist" who wanted to carry out a mass shooting against law enforcement. They're utterly shameless."

Here's a video of Alex honoring a veteran who passed while he was working at the VA.
