The Department of Justice has opened a federal civil rights probe into the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a Friday.

Donald Trump on Friday called Alex Pretti an "agitator and, perhaps, insurrectionist," marking an increase in the intensity of his rhetoric toward the ICU nurse fatally shot by federal agents after the president recently said he wanted to "de-escalate a little bit" in Minnesota.

Pretti's family has confirmed the authenticity of the footage, which allegedly shows him kicking a vehicle being driven by federal agents.

Trump supporters have seized on new videos of a confrontation between Alex Pretti and ICE agents 11 days before his fatal shooting.

We believe that we can always do better,” the embattled homeland security secretary told Fox News’ Sean Hannity.

Users discussed an image allegedly depicting slain Minneapolis nurse Alex Pretti assisting two disabled veterans during a physical therapy session.

Four days after the killing of Alex Pretti, an Indigenous prayer ceremony is being held in his honor. Those four days represent the time believed to be needed for a spirit to transition.
