ICE Shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis Raises 2nd Amendment Questions Regarding CPLs

Binghamton officials and New York lawmakers demand accountability after federal agents shot Alex Pretti, a licensed gun owner, amid conflicting reports over his actions.

  • Binghamton officials condemned ICE and called for accountability after the Minneapolis shooting, with leaders urging action and criticizing the federal response on Jan. 26, 2026.
  • Alex Pretti, a U.S. citizen and ICU nurse, was shot in Minneapolis in December after confronting immigration agents, with officials claiming he intended to 'kill law enforcement,' but videos and witnesses do not show him brandishing a weapon.
  • Minneapolis police confirmed Pretti held a valid concealed-carry permit when he was shot at least ten times during the encounter, where he was pepper-sprayed and pushed to the ground.
  • Protesters in Minneapolis responded to the shooting, with Pretti's family receiving support as lawmakers proposed accountability measures and Senate Democrats tied votes to DHS funding.
  • The Binghamton City Council in December barred city resources from aiding ICE, and state leaders demanded investigations and personnel changes in response to the Minneapolis shooting.
