"We got to get out here and mourn our colleague who was killed,"
"This is fairly close to SF VA Hospital and Alex Pretti was a VA nurse, he worked for the veteran's administration, and he was killed by our federal government,"
"We're going to save this country. With your name, with Renee Good's name, and with everyone else that ICE is suppressing and hurting. We're going to be putting our country back together,"
"What this regime in articulating and doing with their illegal actions. We the people stand against it,"
Bay Area residents and nurses gathered at Sutro Heights Park for a vigil organized by Indivisible SF to honor Alex Pretti and other victims of ICE. Alex Pretti worked as a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse and was shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis. Organizers chose Sutro Heights Park because of its proximity to the SF VA Hospital. Speakers included Peter Hosey, Mark Smith, Helen Archer Duste, and other nurses who expressed mourning, opposition to ICE actions, and calls to honor victims like Pretti and Renee Good, who was killed less than three weeks earlier. Demonstrators emphasized solidarity and resistance to current immigration enforcement actions.
