The January 24 shooting death of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse and U.S. citizen, by federal agents in Minneapolis highlighted a massive discrepancy between administration claims and bystander/body camera video.
Top US officials, including DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and aide Stephen Miller, initially labeled Pretti a "domestic terrorist" and "would-be assassin" who intended to "massacre" law enforcement.
However, multiple verified videos show Pretti holding a cellphone, not a weapon, and moving to help a woman knocked down by agents before being tackled and shot while pinned to the ground.
