""The nation's nurses, who make it their mission to care for and save human lives, are horrified and outraged that immigration agents have once again committed cold-blooded murder of a public observer who posed no threat to them," NNU said. "ICE agents have been kidnapping hard working people - mothers, fathers, and children - and now murdered a registered nurse, one of the most trusted professions in the country.""
""Nurses demand the immediate abolition of ICE," the group said. "Abolish ICE now.""
The largest U.S. nurses' union demanded abolition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after Customs and Border Protection shot and killed nurse Alex Pretti during a Minneapolis raid. NNU condemned the killing as demonstrating the "violence, terror, and lawlessness" and "dire public health threat" that federal immigration agencies pose nationwide. Bystander videos show multiple agents tackling Pretti, seizing his firearm, and shooting at him at least ten times, killing him. Pretti, 37, was an intensive care nurse at a Department of Veterans Affairs hospital. NNU said ICE agents have kidnapped working people and vowed to work to oust members of Congress who fund DHS. A memorial with flowers, candles, and a homemade sign marks the site.
