Videos that emerged Wednesday show Alex Pretti was forcefully taken to the ground by federal immigration agents after kicking out the tail light of their vehicle during a Minneapolis protest 11 days before he was shot and killed by Border Patrol officers. The Jan. 13 scuffle was captured in a pair of videos that emerged Wednesday evening, showing Pretti shouting an expletive at federal immigration agents and struggling with them before he either breaks free or is let go. The new videos have rekindled the national debate about the death of Pretti, 37, an intensive care nurse at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center. A Minneapolis-based attorney representing Prettiās parents says the earlier incident in no way justified the officers' use of deadly force more than a week later.
