The News Movement captured the moment Pretti and other activists confronted federal agents conducting an immigration operation, shouting, “Fucking trash!” and spitting at an officer who was getting into an ICE vehicle.
Pretti then kicked the SUV’s right tail light two times, shattering the plastic and causing the entire fixture to fall out.
The family of Alex Pretti has confirmed that he is the man in the video below kicking out the tail lights of an ice vehicle.
In the video you will see him spiting on ICE agents while screaming, profanities and literally foaming at the mouth. This is a case of extreme ICE… pic.twitter.com/YjkMhcnZwd— Alex Jones (@RealAlexJones) January 29, 2026
A federal agent jumped out of the vehicle and threw him to the ground as Pretti shrieked, “Help me!”
The feds eventually let the agitator loose while a crowd of protesters yelled for them to leave the area.
The footage shows Pretti’s firearm was holstered on his back during the demonstration.
Another angle of the incident shows Pretti told officers, “Pepper spray bitch! Fucking assault me mother fucker!”

While the conduct didn’t give officers the green light to later shoot Pretti, it does reveal he was not the peaceful protester portrayed by mainstream media.
It’s also plausible that agents knew he was armed and combative when they approached him eleven days later on the day he was killed, heightening their sense of danger when apprehending him.
Meanwhile, The View co-host Ana Navarro went on CNN this week to tell viewers Pretti “was the perfect guy.”
Last night on CNN.
Ana Navarro: Alex Pretti was the perfect guy. He’s the guy that you want to date your daughter. He’s the man you want your son to be. They can’t malign him because we have the videos.
Turns out Ana didn’t have all the videos. pic.twitter.com/M7s3zBS8JQ— MAZE (@mazemoore) January 28, 2026
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) was mocked online for reading a description of Pretti that painted him as someone “incapable of causing harm,” who was “calm” and “composed.”

MS Now also bizarrely edited a picture of Pretti to make him look more attractive, which podcast host Joe Rogan pointed out is the exact opposite of what mainstream media did to him during the COVID pandemic.

Democrat politicians and media outlets also shared an AI-created image of Pretti’s struggle with police moments before being shot.

The political establishment will never let a good crisis go to waste, as Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel infamously stated, and this time they’re using the deaths of leftist activists to turn the public against the Trump administration and kick off the Podesta Plan of a synthetic domestic uprising.
