A mob of anti-ICE agitators laid siege to a Minneapolis hotel Sunday night, smashing windows, trashing the lobby and injuring at least one federal law enforcement officer, after local police withdrew.
The city’s chaotic anti-ICE operations spiraled into a violent frenzy Saturday after an agitator was shot dead by a federal officer during an altercation. Alex Pretti, 37, was carrying a Sig Sauer P320-AXG COMBAT, a high-capacity 9 mm pistol as he filmed Border Patrol agents executing a targeted immigration enforcement operation.
Tricia McLaughlin, spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security, said the officers were responding to a man who had a gun with two magazines and fired “defensive shots.”
