Community Mourns and Honors Alex Pretti, RN, Amid Calls for Action Against ICE

In a week marked by grief and solidarity, communities across the United States have come together to honor Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse tragically killed by federal agents during a protest against ICE. Vigils in cities like Ann Arbor, Wichita, and Seattle drew hundreds who remembered Pretti for his kindness and dedication to helping others, especially veterans. His sister, Micayla Pretti, passionately condemned the misinformation surrounding his death and urged for his legacy to reflect his compassionate spirit. The nation’s largest union of registered nurses is calling for the abolition of ICE in response to his untimely death, while friends, colleagues, and faith leaders continue to rally for justice and remembrance. Notable figures, including Amanda Gorman, have also paid tribute to Pretti, emphasizing his impact on those around him.
