Protests from Minneapolis to Washington/ Demonstrations 'explode' in cities: "Justice for Alex Pretti"
2026-01-25 17:28:59 / BOTA
Large protests spread across American cities including Minneapolis, New York City, San Francisco, Boston and Providence, Rhode Island after 37-year-old Alex Pretti, a registered nurse living in Minneapolis, was shot dead by federal agents.
The wave of protests comes just a day after thousands of people marched through the streets of Minneapolis to protest against the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Protesters again braved the extreme cold to speak out against the agency and show support for Pretti and others who have been harmed by the increase in the number of immigration agents.
"Fuck ICE, ICE out," a crowd could be heard shouting on live broadcasts of the protests.
Thousands more gathered in Union Square in New York City, with footage showing them chanting: "We will not tolerate ICE."
In Washington, a giant crowd formed outside the headquarters of the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
In San Francisco, hundreds of people gathered downtown. Footage showed large crowds holding signs and chanting slogans such as "rise up, fight back."
Protesters held up banners condemning ICE and also demanded justice for Renee Good, another Minneapolis resident who was shot and killed by an immigration officer earlier this month.
And further south, hundreds of people took to the streets of downtown Los Angeles, a city that faced its own crisis over the summer when a wave of immigration agents flooded the region.
Crowds gathered holding solidarity banners that read "From Los Angeles to Minneapolis, stop ICE terror."
