Alex Pretti was a scientist.
Alex Pretti, the man shot by ICE in Minneapolis, appears to have previously worked with the federal government at the VA.
There is a photo of him on the VA website, where he’s cited as part of a medical research team.

ICE officers attempted to pass off the murder of a prisoner at their El Paso concentration camp as a suicide, but the country medical examiner was having none of it.
