Alex Preti

Alex Preti appears in The ICE hiring boom through a Minneapolis case cited by the episode. The source says Preti was a U.S. citizen and that agents who shot and killed him had been employed since 2014 and 2018, according to ProPublica.

The page is intentionally source-scoped. In the wiki, Preti’s case functions as evidence for Seth Stoughton’s argument that controversial conduct cannot be explained only by rushed new training when some incidents involve veteran personnel.
