How to Support Those Impacted by Gun Violence in Minneapolis

In January 2026, federal agents shot and killed Renee Nicole Good (37) and Alex Jeffrey Pretti (37) just weeks apart in Minneapolis, Minnesota. These deadly shootings by ICE agents come in the midst of a dangerous pattern of gun violence by federal agents that has wreaked havoc in communities across the country. 

We send our deepest condolences to the loved ones of Renee and Alex, and to all those affected by the multiple shootings by ICE officers. Federal agents shooting American citizens in broad daylight isn’t making us safer. We need accountability and an end to ICE’s mayhem and chaos.
