Video Evidence Contradicts Trump Administration's Account of Alex Presti's Killing

Shooting of Alex Presti by ICE Agents

• 🎯 On January 24, 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Presti was shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis.
• ⚠️ This incident occurred just weeks after Renee Good was also fatally shot in the same city.

Official Narrative vs. Video Evidence

• 🗣️ The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) claimed Presti approached US Border Patrol officers, brandished a semi-automatic handgun, violently resisted disarmament, and was a "domestic terrorist" intending to cause harm.
• 📱 However, multiple bystander videos directly contradict this narrative, showing Presti holding a mobile phone, not a gun, and retreating as instructed.
• 🚫 The videos also show Presti attempting to help a woman who was shoved, and both were then gassed before Presti was tackled and detained without resistance.

Disarming and Fatal Shots

• 🔍 Higher quality video evidence shows Presti was disarmed by agents before any shots were fired.
• 💥 An agent is seen pulling out a gun and firing shots while Presti was on the ground, being detained by multiple agents.
• ⚖️ The video evidence suggests Presti was disarmed before the fatal shots were taken, contradicting the DHS's claim that he was brandishing a weapon.

Trump Administration's Response

• 🤥 Despite video evidence and witness testimony, the Trump administration, including DHS Secretary Christine Nme and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, maintained their narrative, labeling Presti a "domestic terrorist" and an "assassin."
• ❌ FBI Director Cash Patel falsely claimed Presti did not have the right to carry a weapon, a claim debunked by gun rights groups.
• ⚠️ Federal authorities have since softened their language, but the "domestic terrorist" label was also used in the death of Renee Good.

Family's Reaction

• 💔 The family of Alex Presti expressed heartbreak and anger, calling the Trump administration's statements "sickening lies" and "reprehensible and disgusting."
