For the second time in 17 days, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents fatally shot a protester of the agency’s mass deportations in Minneapolis on Jan. 24, triggering outrage nationwide and on the East End.
Like the fatal shooting of Renee Goode during a confrontation with ICE agents in Minnesota on Jan. 7, Alex Pretti’s killing inspired local ICE critics to honor the fallen ICU nurse with vigils — this time at 6 p.m. on Jan. 30 at Hook Mill in East Hampton, the Sag Harbor Windmill; Agawam Park in Southampton, among a half dozen more locally that day.
