Fresh allegations have surfaced online claiming that Patrick J. Kelly, Director of the Minneapolis VA Health Care System, spoke to media about “troubling misconduct” by Alex Jeffrey Pretti toward vulnerable patients in July 2025, leading to his termination and avoidance of court proceedings. These claims, which portray Pretti’s “angelic white coat” persona as a facade, lack any supporting evidence from official VA statements, credible news sources, or public records as of late January 2026.

Pretti, 37, was fatally shot by U.S. Border Patrol agents on January 24, 2026, near 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue during protests against federal immigration enforcement. DHS officials stated agents fired in self-defense after Pretti resisted disarmament while armed with a 9mm handgun. Verified bystander videos from Reuters, BBC, The New York Times, CNN, The Guardian, and others show Pretti holding a cellphone, with his left hand raised protectively—possibly shielding a woman from pepper spray—before being tackled and shot multiple times while down. No video shows him drawing the weapon; an agent retrieved it from his waist during the confrontation.

Pretti worked as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA Health Care System, where he cared for critically ill veterans. His Minnesota nursing license, issued in January 2021, remained active through March 2026 with no record of disciplinary actions or revocation, according to state licensing records. Colleagues praised him: Dr. Dimitri Drekonja called him “outstanding,” humorous, and helpful; Dr. Aasma Shaukat described him as kindhearted and upstanding. Former patients, including veterans, recalled his empathy and dedication.

The VA and Kelly have not issued any public statement accusing Pretti of misconduct or confirming termination. VA communications, including condolences from leadership and union representatives like AFGE Local 3669, affirmed Pretti’s service to veterans without referencing allegations. Kelly, who became director in 2013, has no quoted comments in major coverage about Pretti’s conduct or employment status.

The claims echo prior misinformation: viral stories alleged Pretti was fired for “inappropriate behavior” with patients, citing a fabricated report from buzzreport247 quoting a nonexistent Dr. Elena Vasquez at a fictitious Lakeshore Medical Center. Fact-checkers from Hindustan Times, International Business Times UK, and Times Now debunked these as false—Pretti never worked at Lakeshore and remained employed at the VA until his death. No complaints from patients’ families in July 2025 or any period appear in credible reporting.

Similar patterns involve anonymous social media posts and low-credibility sites spreading unverified “revelations” about Pretti quitting, joining groups, or hiding a flamboyant side. These have been traced to spam networks, often AI-generated, without named sources or evidence.

Pretti’s family rejected federal narratives as “sickening lies,” emphasizing videos showing him unarmed and protective. Parents Michael and Susan Pretti described him as caring deeply for veterans and urged truth-seeking. Sister Micayla called him a hero who touched lives.

Nursing groups, including the American Nurses Association, Oregon Nurses Association, Washington State Nurses Association, and Minnesota Organization of Registered Nurses, expressed outrage over his death, calling for unbiased probes and highlighting nurses’ ethical duty to advocate for human rights. AFGE condemned the incident as resulting from reckless policy.

Federal officials defended the agents: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino said Pretti intended harm and resisted violently. White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller labeled him a “domestic terrorist.” Critics, including Gov. Tim Walz, called these inconsistent with videos and urged independent review.

Local authorities face obstacles: lawsuits allege DHS blocked evidence; a judge ordered preservation. Body camera footage remains unreleased, under HSI review with FBI forensics.

This was the third fatal shooting by immigration agents in Minneapolis recently, following Renée Nicole Good’s death. Operations drew criticism over tactics amid thousands of arrests.

Pretti grew up in Green Bay, Wisconsin—active in sports, Boy Scouts, and choir—earned a University of Minnesota biology degree, worked in research, then nursing. He enjoyed outdoors and owned a dog.

As the probe continues without new disclosures, unverified misconduct claims persist, viewed by supporters as smears to justify force and by others as potential context. Official records show no termination or allegations; Pretti’s license and employment remained intact. Until full evidence release—including bodycam and any phone data—the case fuels debates on enforcement, accountability, and misinformation’s role in polarizing events.
