India Today
A 37-year-old intensive care nurse, Alex Pretti, was shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis on Saturday, only weeks after the fatal shooting of Renee Good during an Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation.
American late-night host Jimmy Kimmel struggled to hold back tears on Monday night in a monologue to address the killing of 37-year-old intensive care nurse Alex Pretti, whose death in Minneapolis sparked outrage at federal law enforcement actions amid Donald Trump administration's crackdown on immigration.
Speaking on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the host said he spent the weekend scrolling through his phone, trying to process a disturbing pattern of violence in the city. Pretti, 37, was shot and killed by agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Saturday, only weeks after another fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis.
Kimmel's voice cracked early in the monologue as he explained how the news had left him shaken. "I spent the weekend like probably a lot of you did, looking at my phone and just feeling shocked and sick at what's happening in Minneapolis," he told viewers, before launching into a blistering critique of the agents involved.

"Just one atrocity after another being committed by this gang of poorly trained, shamefully led, mask-wearing goons," Kimmel said. "And that is what they are: They're goons committing vile, heartless, and even criminal acts."
As he continued, Kimmel argued that video footage of the incident contradicted official accounts. "We see these videos — in which we clearly see one of our fellow Americans executed by ICE — and they won't even admit that it was a mistake!" he said, referring both to Pretti's killing and to an earlier fatal shooting involving Renee Good.
