Subject: Witness Statement regarding the Execution of Alex Jeffery Pretti
Source Document: Court Filing Doc. 107 (Filed 01/24/26)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This document is a sworn affidavit from an eyewitness to the shooting of Alex Jeffery Pretti on Nicollet Avenue earlier today. The witness, a local resident and children’s entertainer, provides a detailed, first-hand account that directly contradicts the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) official narrative.
Crucially, the witness states that Pretti was unarmed, holding only a camera, and was attempting to assist a woman when agents threw him to the ground and “just started shooting him” while he was already subdued by four or five agents.
I. TIMELINE OF EVENTS (Reconstructed)
08:50 AM: Witness hears “whistles” in the Whittier neighborhood, a confirmed community signal indicating ICE presence.
Movement to Contact: Witness moves to Nicollet Ave & 26th St. Observes a “vehicle convoy” of ICE agents at Nicollet & 28th St.
Initial Aggression: Agents observed “punching car windows” and stopping vehicles indiscriminately further down Nicollet.
Victim Contact: Witness encounters the victim (Alex Pretti) helping direct traffic and assisting with parking. Pretti explicitly states his intent to “film and use my whistle”.
The Incident (Nicollet & 27th):
Pretti attempts to help a woman up from the ground.
Agents swarm Pretti and throw him to the ground.
While pinned by “four or five agents,” agents open fire multiple times.
II. CRITICAL NARRATIVE DISCREPANCIES
The sworn testimony exposes three fatal flaws in the official DHS account:
1. The Weapon
While DHS claims Pretti approached them with a gun, the eyewitness is explicit: “I didn’t see him with a gun... He approached them with a camera.”.
2. The Behavior
Official reports imply Pretti was a “violent subject” engaging in aggression. The affidavit contradicts this entirely, noting that Pretti was “helping traffic move” and “trying to help a woman get up” immediately prior to the attack. The witness states, “He wasn’t even turned toward them... didn’t look like he was trying to resist.”.
3. The Use of Force
DHS describes a defensive shooting. The witness describes an execution. According to the affidavit, agents shot Pretti after he was already on the ground and physically pinned by four to five officers.
III. OPERATIONAL INTEL & TACTICS
1. Indiscriminate Violence (”Punching Windows”)
The witness reports seeing agents “surrounding cars and punching car windows”. This suggests agents were not executing a targeted warrant but were engaging in terror tactics to intimidate the community or provoke a response.
2. Witness Intimidation & “Hunting”
Paragraph 17 contains a chilling confirmation of the capabilities we have warned about. The witness states: “I don’t feel like I can go home because I heard agents were looking for me.” and “I’ve heard that other witnesses might have been arrested and taken to the Whipple Building.”.
This indicates an immediate, post-incident operation to scrub witnesses and suppress evidence, validating the need for the “Digital Hardening” protocols found in the EyesOnICE Wiki.
3. The “Whistle” Protocol
The document confirms that the community is using whistles as an analog early-warning system. This is effective low-tech signal intelligence that bypasses digital surveillance.
IV. ASSESSMENT
This document is Exhibit A for a deprivation of rights under color of law (18 U.S.C. § 242). It alleges that federal agents executed a man who was complying with the First Amendment (filming) and acting as a Good Samaritan.
There is a bit of context in this situation that I’m not seeing discussed, especially not in mainstream media.
Look at the sign on the building behind the scene of the killing. It’s the “New American Development Center”, an aid organization for new immigrants from Africa / Somalia. Indications are that the victim was there specifically to assist in traffic management and record the actions of CBP thugs against individuals trying to access the center.
The dark and mysterious “Domestic Terrorist” narrative melts away pretty quickly when the context of specifically why the victim was at this specific location at that time. He was murdered for doing exactly what was shown in the video, placing himself between thugs and the vulnerable.
Thank you!
