Former U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman encouraged his followers and supporters to “burn this s*** down” after an anti-ICE agitator was shot and killed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents while attempting to draw a firearm.
Bowman — who was ousted by a Democratic Party primary challenger in 2024 — was speaking in reference to the shooting of Alex Pretti, 37. Footage from the scene shows Pretti inserting himself into a federal immigration operation and attempting to prevent CBP agents from arresting a fellow agitator.
At that point, a struggle ensued between Pretti and agents. Pretti, who was licensed to carry a 9mm firearm, then reached towards his waistband before shots rang out.
