In this gripping episode of "Minneapolis Shootings," AI host Marc Ellery examines the explosive aftermath of Alex Pretti's fatal shooting by Border Patrol agents on January 24, 2026. The 37-year-old ICU nurse's death in south Minneapolis sparked immediate protests, unprecedented legal battles, and a constitutional crisis when federal agents blocked state investigators—even after they obtained a warrant. Marc unpacks the conflicting narratives between eyewitness videos and federal accounts, the community's outrage in sub-zero temperatures, and the political firestorm involving everyone from Governor Tim Walz to former President Obama. With two American citizens killed by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis within weeks, and state authorities systematically shut out of investigations, this episode explores what happens when trust in institutions breaks down and the normal mechanisms of accountability simply fail. It's a story about evidence disputes, power struggles, and unanswered questions that matter far beyond one city. Raw, unflinching, and essential listening.
