The Brutal Cold Siege in the Midwest

A federal agent has killed an American citizen in Minnesota, again. Amid the coldest temperatures in eight years, from Minneapolis to Michigan, the demand for “ICE off our streets” remains a common refrain across the country. 

On Saturday, January 24, in Michigan, the wind chill dropped to between -15 and -31 degrees Fahrenheit. Around 50 people marched through downtown Detroit dressed in thermal clothing, jackets, thick pants, and gloves. The demand was the same as always, and the reason, once again, was troubling. Hours earlier, a 37-year-old American citizen, Alex Pretti, had been shot and killed by several federal agents in Minneapolis.

Protests in Minneapolis on Saturday morning, January 24th, after Alex Pretti was killed by a federal agent.

“People see what’s going on in Minneapolis and don’t want to see that come to Detroit,” Kassandra Rodrigues, a member of Comité de Acción Comunitaria, told El Central. “Trump is targeting all of us if we’re fairly honest. He doesn’t care who you are or where you’re from, as we’ve seen with how ICE is acting.”

The murder of Pretti, a nurse in an intensive care unit at a veterans’ hospital, while he was recording the activities of the agents, has heightened the alarm among those who support the immigrant community in various ways.

“We have to make sure our communities are stronger than ever to resist these attacks, and that we shouldn’t be afraid,” Daanyal Syed, a member of the Detroit Anti-War Committee, commented to El Central. “We should be looking out for our community members and making sure we are prepared for anything that Trump’s agenda pushes against us.”

Since Saturday, several peaceful rallies, vigils, and marches have been held across the Lower Peninsula. Hundreds rallied on a sidewalk in Grand Rapids, about a hundred marched silently in downtown Lansing, and dozens protested outside Kalamazoo city hall.

In Minneapolis, 3,000 federal agents, 1,000 CBP agents, and 2,000 from ICE, led by Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino, were deployed by Donald Trump to combat his anti-immigrant crusade, which, with Pretti’s death, has now claimed its second civilian victim and third shooting. Less than a 10-minute drive from where Pretti was killed, Renee Good, a 37-year-old American citizen, was the first to be killed by the federal agent, Jonathan Ross, a 43-year-old ICE agent.

Despite a -25F wind chill, thousands of people had peacefully taken to the streets of Minneapolis on Friday, January 23, to protest against the immigrant crackdown in that city as part of the “strike and fight for immigrant rights,” a nationwide strike. However, during the weekend and part of the week, the streets of Minneapolis have erupted day and night with tear gas, pepper spray, flashbangs, and clashes between protesters and officers. Photos and videos of citizens being brutally arrested and being held at gunpoint were going viral daily.

Andres Chavez, a Venezuelan photojournalist with Unraveled Press, had arrived in Minneapolis from Chicago to cover Friday’s strike. For him, what happened on Saturday after the shooting escalated in a matter of minutes. “Four officers came running and drew their weapons: rifles and pistols. They drew them; pointed them at the people, pushed them against the wall, and arrested them,” Chavez told EL CENTRAL. “The violence was already escalating, and we weren’t just talking about tear gas anymore; they were already aiming. I thought they were going to execute two protesters right in front of me.”

As it happened with Good, the shooting was recorded by several bystanders from various angles, and the videos went viral within minutes. Once again, Trump and his officials adopted a narrative that contradicts how Pretti was killed, portraying immigration agents as victims of a “gunman” ready to “massacre” them. Pretti was indeed carrying a licensed 9 mm handgun and two magazines at the time of his arrest, but at no point was he seen drawing or brandishing a weapon. However, as one agent disarmed him and five others were over his body, amid shouts of “GUN” and whistles, the young nurse was shot at least 10 times and killed on the ground.

In Michigan, while Republican leaders were mostly silent on the Pretti shooting, Democratic political leaders differed in the way they reacted after Good’s death by voicing their outrage in a wide array of criticisms against immigration agencies, ranging from abolishing ICE and withholding funding in order to seek more accountability.

Michigan Republican Party Chairman Jim Runnestad criticized the statement by Mike Duggan, an independent candidate for governor of Michigan, who declared that ICE’s work of deporting illegal immigrants has become unacceptable and that Washington must end all violence. “Mike Duggan is attempting to play both sides with his independent bid for governor, when in reality, he’s capitulating to Democratic Party leadership,” Runnestad stated.

U.S. Senators Elissa Slotkin and Gary Peters stated on an X post that they will vote against the Department of Homeland Security funding bill, which is part of the appropriation package. Both democrats stated that DHS isn’t protecting the U.S. people.

This package, opposed mostly by Democrats, includes $64.4 billion in Homeland Security spending for the 2026 fiscal year. It would reduce funding for Customs and Border Protection (CBP) by $1.3 billion while keeping ICE’s budget steady at $10 billion. The legislation also seeks to limit immigration enforcement by setting aside $20 million to equip ICE and CBP agents with body cameras and require them to use them. If the bill fails to reach 60 votes in the Senate by Friday, it would trigger a partial government shutdown.

“ICE and those under their command are not acting as responsible law enforcement agencies. They are recklessly inciting violence at the whims of the President,” wrote Slotkin. “And they must be reined in before there is more killing”.

U.S. Representatives Shri Thanedar, Rashida Tlaib, and Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed called for abolishing ICE. “Anything less than abolishing ICE is a cowardly capitulation to fascism,” Stated Tlaib on an X post.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had already deployed 1,500 Minnesota National Guard troops to support local police, and despite Trump’s threat to declare an act of insurrection in the Democratic state, the Republican president made a series of posts on Monday through Truth Social stating that he and Waltz had reached at least a partial understanding. Walts stated on social media that he had a very productive call with Trump.

Bovino, the public face of the crackdown on immigrants and the one who blamed Pretti for his murder by the agents under his command, has been sent back to El Centro, California. In his place, Trump declared that Tom Homan, the so-called border czar, would be sent to Minnesota, a move that, according to the president, greatly pleased Walz.

For Chavez, the visiting journalist, there is still uncertainty in the air. The truth is that the people of St. Paul and Minneapolis are deeply affected by the violence the federal agents are perpetrating. “I saw four or five blocks filled with federal officers ready to go; there were hundreds of them. The number of officers isn’t the only major difference compared to Chicago. It’s the violence and the speed with which they applied that violence,” concluded the young reporter.

La brutal invasión del frío en el Midwest

Otra vez, un agente federal ha matado a un ciudadano estadounidense en Minnesota. En medio de la tormenta ártica más fría en ocho años, desde Minneapolis hasta Michigan, el grito de “ICE fuera de nuestras calles” mantiene el pedido popular en todo el país.

El sábado 24 de enero, en Michigan, la sensación térmica cayó entre -15°F y -31°F. Alrededor de 50 personas marcharon por el centro de Detroit vestidas con ropa térmica, casacas, pantalones gruesos y guantes. La exigencia era la de siempre, y el motivo, una vez más, era preocupante. Horas antes, un ciudadano estadounidense de 37 años, Alex Pretti, había sido asesinado a balazos por varios agentes federales en Minneapolis.

Protests in Minneapolis on Saturday morning, January 24th, after Alex Pretti was killed by a federal agent.

“La gente ve lo que está pasando en Minneapolis y no quiere que eso llegue a Detroit”, dijo a El Central Kassandra Rodrigues, integrante del Comité de Acción Comunitaria. “Trump nos está atacando a todos. No le importa quién seas ni de dónde vengas, como hemos visto por la forma en que actúa ICE”.

El asesinato de Pretti, un enfermero de una unidad de cuidados intensivos en un hospital de veteranos, ocurrido mientras grababa las actividades de los agentes, ha encendido las alarmas entre quienes apoyan de distintas maneras a la comunidad inmigrante.

“Tenemos que asegurarnos de que nuestras comunidades sean más fuertes que nunca para resistir estos ataques y de que no debemos tener miedo”, comentó a El Central Daanyal Syed, miembro del Comité Antiguerra de Detroit. “Debemos cuidarnos entre nosotros y asegurarnos de estar preparados para cualquier cosa que impulse la agenda de Trump en nuestra contra”.

Desde el sábado, se han realizado varios mítines pacíficos, vigilias y marchas en toda la Península baja. Cientos protestaron desde una acera en Grand Rapids; alrededor de un centenar marchó en silencio por el centro de Lansing y varias decenas protestaron frente al ayuntamiento de Kalamazoo.

En Minneapolis, Trump desplegó 3,000 agentes federales —1,000 de la CBP y 2,000 de ICE—, liderados por el funcionario de la Patrulla Fronteriza Gregory Bovino, para combatir su cruzada anti inmigrante, la cual, con la muerte de Pretti, ya ha dejado 2 civiles muertos en 3 tiroteos. A menos de 10 minutos en auto del lugar donde Pretti fue asesinado, Renee Good, una ciudadana estadounidense de 37 años, fue la primera en morir a manos del agente federal Jonathan Ross, un agente de ICE de 43 años.

A pesar de una sensación térmica de -25°F, miles de personas salieron pacíficamente a las calles de Minneapolis el viernes 23 de enero en contra de la ofensiva migratoria en la ciudad como parte de la huelga nacional “huelga y lucha por los derechos de los inmigrantes”. Sin embargo, durante el fin de semana y parte de la semana, las calles de Minneapolis han hervido día y noche con gases lacrimógenos, gas pimienta, granadas aturdidoras y enfrentamientos entre manifestantes y agentes. Fotos y videos de ciudadanos arrestados brutalmente y retenidos a punta de armas se han vuelto virales a diario.

Andrés Chávez, fotoperiodista venezolano de Unraveled Press, había llegado a Minneapolis desde Chicago para cubrir la huelga del viernes. Para él, lo que ocurrió el sábado después del tiroteo escaló en cuestión de minutos. “Cuatro agentes llegaron corriendo y sacaron sus armas: rifles y pistolas. Las sacaron, apuntaron a la gente, los empujaron contra la pared y los arrestaron”, dijo Chávez a El Central. “La violencia ya estaba escalando y ya no hablábamos solo de gas lacrimógeno; ya estaban apuntando. Pensé que iban a ejecutar a dos manifestantes justo frente a mí”.

Al igual que ocurrió con Good, el tiroteo fue grabado por testigos desde distintos ángulos; videos que se viralizaron en minutos. Una vez más, Trump y sus funcionarios adoptaron una narrativa que contradice el asesinato de Pretti, presentando a los agentes migratorios como víctimas de un “pistolero” dispuesto a “masacrarlos”. Pretti efectivamente portaba una 9mm con licencia y dos cargadores al momento de su detención, pero en ningún momento se le vio sacando o blandiendo arma alguna. Sin embargo, mientras un agente lo desarmaba y otros cinco estaban sobre su cuerpo, entre gritos de “¡Gun!” y silbatos, el joven enfermero fue baleado al menos 10 veces en el suelo.

En Michigan, mientras la mayoría de líderes republicanos guardaron silencio sobre el tiroteo de Pretti, los demócratas reaccionaron de manera diversa, expresando su indignación con una amplia gama de críticas a las agencias migratorias, que van desde abolir ICE hasta retener fondos para exigir mayor rendición de cuentas.

El presidente del Partido Republicano de Michigan, Jim Runnestad, criticó la declaración de Mike Duggan, candidato independiente a gobernador de Michigan, quien afirmó que el trabajo de ICE deportando inmigrantes indocumentados se ha vuelto ahora irreconocible y que Washington debe poner fin a toda violencia. “Mike Duggan está intentando jugar a dos bandos con su candidatura independiente a gobernador, cuando en realidad está capitulando ante el liderazgo del Partido Demócrata”, declaró Runnestad.

Los senadores estadounidenses Elissa Slotkin y Gary Peters afirmaron en una publicación en X que votarán en contra del proyecto de financiamiento del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS), que forma parte del paquete de asignaciones. Ambos demócratas señalaron que el DHS no está protegiendo al pueblo estadounidense.

Este paquete, rechazado en su mayoría por los demócratas, incluye 64.4 mil millones de dólares en gasto para Seguridad Nacional para el año fiscal 2026. Reduciría en 1.3 mil millones el financiamiento de la Oficina de Aduanas y Protección Fronteriza (CBP), mientras mantendría estable el presupuesto de ICE en 10 mil millones. La legislación también busca limitar la aplicación de las leyes migratorias al destinar 20 millones de dólares para equipar a los agentes de ICE y CBP con cámaras corporales y exigir su uso. Si el proyecto no alcanza 60 votos en el Senado para el viernes, provocaría un cierre parcial del gobierno.

“ICE y quienes están bajo su mando no están actuando como agencias responsables de cumplimiento de la ley. Están incitando imprudentemente a la violencia a los caprichos del Presidente”, escribió Slotkin. “Y deben ser contenidos antes de que haya más muertes”.

Los representantes estadounidenses Shri Thanedar, Rashida Tlaib y el candidato al Senado Abdul El-Sayed pidieron abolir ICE. “Cualquier cosa que no sea abolir ICE es una capitulación cobarde ante el fascismo”, afirmó Tlaib en una publicación en X.

El gobernador de Minnesota, Tim Walz, ya había desplegado 1,500 efectivos de la Guardia Nacional de Minnesota para apoyar a la policía local y, a pesar de la amenaza de Trump de declarar un acto de insurrección en el estado demócrata, el presidente republicano hizo una serie de publicaciones el lunes en Truth Social afirmando que él y Walz habían alcanzado un entendimiento parcial. Walz declaró en redes sociales que tuvo una llamada muy productiva con Trump.

Bovino, el rostro público de la ofensiva contra los inmigrantes y quien culpó a Pretti por su asesinato a manos de los agentes bajo su mando, ha sido enviado de regreso a El Centro, California. En su lugar, Trump anunció que Tom Homan, el llamado “zar de la frontera”, sería enviado a Minnesota, una medida que, según el presidente, complació enormemente a Walz.

Para Chávez, el periodistabque vio el caos en Minneapolis, todavía hay incertidumbre en el aire. Aquí la verdad es que la gente de St. Paul y Minneapolis está profundamente afectada por la violencia que están perpetrando los agentes federales. “Vi cuatro o cinco cuadras llenas de agentes federales listos para actuar; había cientos de ellos. El número de agentes no es la única gran diferencia en comparación con Chicago. Es la violencia y la rapidez con la que aplicaron esa violencia”, concluyó el joven reportero.
