At the beginning of the meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 27, First District Supervisor Hilda Solis, chair of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, held a moment of silence for the latest victim shot and killed by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis, Minn.
“I’d like to hold a moment of silence in honor of Alex Pretti, who was fatally shot on Saturday, Jan. 24 by a customs enforcement officer in Minneapolis, Minn. Pretti was an ICU nurse who worked at a hospital in Minneapolis. He was described as a kind-hearted soul and someone who was always willing to help others.”
During Tuesday’s moment of silence, county staff and those in the audience for the weekly Board of Supervisors meeting at the Hall of Administration in downtown Los Angeles, stood in silence for a couple of minutes.
Solis added: “His murder at hands of federal agents is a gut wrenching consequence of what we are seeing every day. We are all facing tremendous pressures to protect ourselves while standing up for our friends and others. Two weeks ago I led a moment of silence for Renee Good (who was also shot and killed by an immigration officer in that city).”

On January 24, federal agents shot and killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse, while scuffling with him on an icy roadway in Minneapolis, less than three weeks after an immigration officer fired on Renee Good, also 37, killing her in her car.

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fatally shot a woman, Renee Good, 37, who used her vehicle to block a street and was slowly pulling away.
But many of the investigation’s details, including the identities of the officers involved and precisely what evidence is being examined, remain unclear even as tensions soar in Minneapolis
“It is not just a moment of grief,” said Solis, “but a moment to reflect on how to work together to speak out against the injustices we see.”
At least six people have died during the Trump administration’s amped-up immigration enforcement campaign in the U.S.
Last September, Immigration and Customs Enforcement fatally shot a person outside Chicago. Two people have died after being struck by vehicles while fleeing immigration authorities, including Roberto Carlos Montoya, who was struck by an SUV on the 210 freeway on Aug. 14 after running from the Monrovia Home Depot on Aug. 14. And a California farmworker fell from a greenhouse in Camarillo and broke his neck during an ICE raid last July.
