Kimmel, Colbert Slam ICE Shooting in Monologues

Late-night television hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert condemned the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Minneapolis, using their Monday night monologues to highlight the incident amid a broader immigration enforcement operation in the city.

Pretti, a 38-year-old intensive care unit nurse at a Veterans Affairs facility, was shot and killed over the weekend during unrest tied to ICE's crackdown on immigration violations. According to videos circulating widely online and on news broadcasts, agents pinned Pretti to the ground and fired multiple shots at him after disarming him of a licensed handgun he did not draw. Local officials and eyewitness accounts described Pretti as intervening to protect a woman from harm during a confrontation. The Trump administration has defended the action as a response to an armed threat, though video evidence shows agents removing the weapon before the shooting. This marks the second such fatality in Minneapolis this month; Renee Nicole Good, a mother driving home after dropping her child at school, was shot and killed by an ICE agent on January 7.
