Alex Pretti appears to spit at ICE, kick out tail
In the span of eleven days, Alex Pretti went from
a furious protester clashing with immigration agents
to a national symbol of a country at war with itself.
The newly verified footage shows him spitting toward
officers, kicking out a taillight, and being slammed to
the pavement as tear gas rolls over demonstrators.
A licensed handgun rides at his back, a detail that
now feels like a warning no one heard in time.
When Border Patrol agents tackled him again on January 24,
they ripped that same pistol from his waistband. Investigators now
believe a stray round from Pretti’s own gun may have triggered the
deadly volley that followed. His family insists he posed no lethal threat;
federal authorities insist their agents faced one. Between those two
narratives lies a broken rib, a dead nurse, two shootings in three weeks,
and a president quietly pulling his own forces out of a state he set ablaze.
