Well, well, well….

Despite the best attempts by the “MSM” to paint Alex Pretti as a choirboy nurse who was practically saving the planet singlehandedly before being shot by ICE, it turns out that narrative may not have been correct all along.

CNN is now reporting that he got into a nasty dust-up with ICE and even broke a rib just one week before being shot.

Watch here:

TRANSCRIPT:

Dana: CNN is learning that Alex Preti had a physical encounter with federal agents about a week before he was shot and killed by law enforcement. Sources tell CNN that Preti broke a rib when a group of federal officers tackled him while he was protesting. Priscilla Alvarez is breaking that story for us. What else are you hearing, Priscilla?

Priscilla Alvarez: Dana, we’re learning more details, along with my colleague, Jeff Winter, about what exactly transpired a week before Alex Preti was shot in Minneapolis and died this past weekend. Now, in this earlier incident, he stopped his car after observing ICE agents chasing what he described as a family on foot and began shouting and blowing his whistle.

Preti later told one of these sources that five agents tackled him and one leaned on his back, appearing to leave him with a broken rib. According to this source, and I’m quoting here, that source said, “That day, he thought he was going to die.”

Now, Preti was later given medication that is consistent with treating a broken rib, according to records reviewed by CNN. Sources also say that he was known to federal law enforcement, though it’s unclear whether it was this incident or another with federal agents that they knew of him.

It’s also unclear whether the officers who tackled him on Saturday knew who he was. What we do know, however, is that federal immigration officers have been collecting personal information of protesters and agitators within the context of what the Department of Homeland Security has warned is repeated threats towards officers as they are conducting immigration enforcement operations.

In fact, just Tuesday, the Department also publicized an online tip form to share information about people allegedly harassing ICE officers. We’ve also heard Tom Homan, the White House Border Czar, say that a database would be created for those who are arrested for impeding law enforcement, but thus far, in our queries to the Department of Homeland Security, they have said that no such database exists.

Dana: Unbelievable. There’s a lot more to peel back there. Thank you so much for bringing us that news, Priscilla.
