Qui était Alex Pretti, l’infirmier tué à Minneapolis par la police de l’immigration

LE FIGARO : Cet Américain de 37 ans a été tué par des agents fédéraux en pleine rue, samedi, dans le Minnesota. Deux semaines plus tôt, ses parents lui avaient conseillé d’être prudent lors des manifestations.

Alex Pretti, 37 ans, a été abattu en pleine rue par des agents fédéraux, samedi, alors qu’il aidait une femme à se relever sur le sol enneigé et glissant de Minneapolis. D’abord présenté comme «un terroriste national» par l’administration Trump, le profil de cet infirmier, qui travaillait dans l’unité de soins intensifs de l’hôpital des anciens combattants de la ville, se précise peu à peu. Sa famille, ses amis et ses collègues dressent le portrait d’un homme aidant et soucieux du monde qui l’entourait. » | Par Barbara Azais | dimanche 25 janvier 2026

Man Shot Dead by Federal Agents in US Named as Nurse Alex Pretti | BBC News

Jan 25, 2026 | Federal immigration officers have shot and killed a man in Minneapolis, identified by local officials as 37-year-old Alex Pretti.

State and federal officials have provided conflicting accounts of the moments prior to Pretti's death, which comes less than three weeks after Renee Good was shot dead by an immigration agent in the city.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said agents fired "defensive shots" after Pretti "reacted violently", while Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said the account of events from federal authorities is "nonsense" and "lies".

How Power Covered Up a Killing in Minneapolis. The Murder of Renee Nicole Macklin Good by ICE.

Jan 8, 2026 | The killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Macklin Good in Minneapolis was captured on video—and yet, within hours, the Trump administration declared the case closed. But the video tells a very different story. It shows Macklin Good reversing her car, allowing an ICE vehicle to pass. It shows an officer ordering her to exit. It shows her attempting to leave at low speed—and an ICE agent firing multiple shots. The officer is never struck. He remains standing. She is shot in the face and dies at the scene.

Video Shows ICE Immigration Officer Shooting Dead Woman Driver in Minneapolis | BBC News

Jan 7, 2026 | A US immigration officer on an enforcement raid in Minneapolis has shot dead a woman in a car, provoking outrage from residents and politicians in the city.

The federal agents deployed by the Trump administration shot and killed the woman as she drove her vehicle in the street where they were operating. The shooting was captured on video, taking place as the driver of a dark red SUV tried to slowly drive away from agents who were ordering her to get out of the vehicle and trying to open its door.

In a social media statement, President Trump defended the ICE officers, saying that he had watched a video clip of the incident which he called a “horrible thing to watch”. He described the woman who was shot dead in her car as “very disorderly, obstructing and resisting” and said she “violently, wilfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self-defence”.

The US Department for Homeland Security described the driver as a “domestic terrorist” who “weaponized her vehicle” and attempted “to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them”. It stated: “An ICE officer, fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots. He used his training and saved his own life and that of his fellow officers.”

Jacob Frey, the mayor of Minneapolis held a press conference in which he told the ICE immigration officers to leave the city. He said the Department for Homeland Security was: “trying to spin this as an action of self-defence. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly, that is bullshit.” He accused the ICE agents of terrorising citizens, saying: “People are being hurt. Families are being ripped apart.

Long-term Minneapolis residents that have contributed so greatly to our city, to our culture, to our economy are being terrorized and now, somebody is dead.”

Trump Insults Opponents, Promises to Win in 2020 in His First Campaign Rally

President Donald Trump has held his first campaign rally since Democrats launched an impeachment inquiry against him.

An angry, energized Trump whipped his supporters into a frenzy on Thursday at a rally in Minneapolis as he sought to use the Democrats' two-week-old impeachment inquiry as a campaign weapon, and predicted a 2020 election "backlash" against any attempt to unseat him.

In a speech lasting one hour and 40 minutes, Trump bathed in supporters' adulation, homing in on his favourite talking points with a mix of jokes, insults and populist exaggeration. Trump told a crowd in Minnesota that he has done nothing wrong. He is accused of pressuring Ukraine's leader into investigating his Democratic rival, Joe Biden.

Al Shabaab Calls for Attack on Mall of America in New Video

FOX NEWS: A new video from Al Shabaab purportedly shows the terror group calling for an attack on Mall of America, in Bloomington, Minn.

According to Fox 9, the mall is one of three similar targets the terror group specifically names, including West Edmonton Mall in Canada and the Oxford Street shopping area in London.

The video purportedly shows 6 minutes of graphic images and the terrorists celebrating the 2013 Westgate Mall attack in Nairobi, Kenya, that killed more than 60 people.

The narrator, his face wrapped in a black-and-white kaffiyeh-type scarf and wearing a camouflage jacket, spoke with a British accent and appeared to be of Somali origin. He accused Kenyan troops in Somalia of committing abuses against Somali Muslims.

He ended the video by calling on Muslim men to attack other shopping malls in Western countries. (+ FoxNews video) » | FoxNews.com | Sunday, February 22, 2015

Minn. Pastor Likely to Keep Job Despite Gay Report
ASSOCIATED PRESS: MINNEAPOLIS — A Lutheran pastor ardently critical of allowing gays into the clergy is on leave from his Minneapolis church after a gay magazine reported his attendance at a support group for men struggling with same-sex attraction.

Church officials, however, said Wednesday that the Rev. Tom Brock likely will return to the pulpit at Hope Lutheran Church because he acted in accordance with his faith by attending the group.

A fixture on local cable access shows, Brock regularly broadcasts conservative views on homosexuality and criticizes the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America for liberalizing its gay clergy policy.

Lavender Magazine published a story last week about Brock's quiet attendance of the Faith in Action meetings, written by a reporter who falsely posed as a member of the group.

"The fact that he said one thing publicly, and privately he's a homosexual — that's somewhat inconsistent," said Lavender president Stephen Rocheford. "This company has a policy not to out people. The one exception is a public figure who says one thing and does another."

The Lavender article never explicitly said Brock confessed to homosexual activity. It quotes him at one point talking about a recent mission trip to Eastern Europe, of which he says, "I fell into temptation. I was weak." >>> Patrick Condon | Thursday, June 24, 2010

Lutherische Kirche: Zölibat für homosexuelle US-Pfarrer aufgehoben
WELT ONLINE: Pfarrer der größten lutherischen Kirche der USA dürfen in Zukunft schwule oder lesbische Partnerschaften eingehen. Voraussetzung ist laut Beschluss der Evangelikal-Lutherischen Kirche in Amerika, dass es sich um eine "lebenslange" Verbindung handelt. Gegner der Neuregelung warnen vor Kirchenaustritten.

Die größte evangelisch-lutherische Kirche der USA hat das Zölibat für homosexuelle Priester aufgehoben. Damit können nun künftig auch Lesben und Schwule, die in einer stabilen Partnerschaft leben, Priester in der Evangelikal-Lutherischen Kirche in Amerika (ECLA) werden.

Bei der ECLA-Jahrestagung in Minneapolis stimmten nach streckenweise emotionaler Debatte 559 Delegierte für die Neuregelung, 451 dagegen. Gegner der Reform warnten vor Kirchenaustritten. Nirgendwo in der Bibel stehe, dass Gott Homosexualität und „Homoehen“ akzeptiere, erklärten Kritiker.

Homosexuelle durften auch bislang Pfarrer der ECLA werden, mussten aber im Gegensatz zu ihren heterosexuellen Kollegen Enthaltsamkeit geloben. >>> AP/EPD/ks | Samstag, 22. August 2009

Homophobic Harassment During Gay Pride

Gary Bauer: Waiting for the American Jihad
HUMAN EVENTS: Last October, Shirwa Ahmed blew himself up in a homicide bombing in Somalia. What distinguished Ahmed from other jihadists is that he was a 27-year old college student from Minneapolis and a naturalized American citizen, which made him the first U.S. citizen to become an Islamic homicide bomber.

Ahmed’s unusual path to martyrdom got the attention of American counterterrorism officials, who now report that more than a dozen Somali-American youths have disappeared so far this year. They are suspected to have returned to Somalia to wage jihad. Concerned about the radicalization of Muslim youths in America, the FBI is running active investigations in at least five major American cities.

These developments beg the question: If terrorist organizations can recruit American Muslims to travel to Africa to wage jihad, what’s stopping them from recruiting American Muslims to wage jihad in America? As Moar Jamal, Executive Director of the Somali Justice Advocacy Center in St. Paul, put it, “That kid that blew himself up in Somalia could have done it here in Minneapolis.”

With an Obama administration increasingly distracted by matters both petty (the Rush Limbaugh flap) and precarious (the economic crisis), and with what we are learning about Jihadist recruitment here, it is becoming increasingly clear that America is a country ripe for jihad.

A culture of Islamic radicalization already exists in America. But most Americans do not know about it because it’s happening in places most of us do not go -- our prisons. Prison Ministries Founder Chuck Colson has been a leader in highlighting the problem of radicalization in our prison system, and former FBI Director Robert Mueller has called America’s prisons “fertile ground for extremists.” A 2006 study called “Out of the Shadows” found that “tight knit communities of Muslims in prison are ripe for radicalization, and could easily become terrorist cells.” >>> By Gary Bauer | Friday, March 13, 2009
