Tennessee General Assembly honors Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen and VA intensive care unit nurse, who was shot and killed by ICE agents on January 24, 2026 in Minneapolis

Pretti was legally recording ICE and federal agents when he stepped between agents and a woman being pepper sprayed; video shows he was holding only a phone when agents pepper sprayed him and pulled him to the ground

Video evidence indicates federal agents fired at least ten shots within five seconds at Pretti while he was lying on the sidewalk

Pretti grew up in Green Bay, Wisconsin, graduated from the University of Minnesota in 2011 with a degree in biology, society, and environment, and later became a registered nurse

Resolution extends sympathy and condolences to Pretti's family and friends and directs preparation of a presentation copy
