Minneapolis live updates: DOJ launches investigation into Pretti killing, Deputy AG Blanche says

A newly emerged video appears to show Alex Pretti in a confrontation with federal agents 11 days before he was shot and killed in Minneapolis.

In the video, a man who appears to be Pretti and others on the scene are seen shouting at agents blocking an intersection in Minneapolis on Jan. 13. A man who looks like Pretti is then seen kicking a federal vehicle before agents get out, push him and tackle him to the ground. Agents then fire gas into the crowd.

The agents get up and the man appearing to be Pretti walks away, a gun visible on his waistband.

ABC News does not know what happened before this altercation.

The Department of Homeland Security told ABC News on Wednesday that Homeland Security Investigations is reviewing the video.

A new video appears to show Alex Pretti clashing with agents 11 days before his fatal shooting in Minneapolis.

Trump administration border czar Tom Homan is set to hold a press conference in Minneapolis on Thursday at 8 a.m. ET, the White House said in an advisory.

No further details were released.

President Donald Trump dispatched Homan to Minnesota this week as part of a leadership shuffle, with Homan meeting with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey on Tuesday.

A federal judge is temporarily barring the Trump administration from arresting any refugee in Minnesota who has not received a green card and has not been charged with any offense that warrants removal under immigration laws.

The judge is also ordering the administration to release refugees who fit this description.

The order stems from a lawsuit in which the plaintiffs are refugees who believe they've been targeted for arrests under the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' "Operation PARRIS."

USCIS launched the operation in Minnesota and called it a "sweeping initiative reexamining thousands of refugee cases through new background checks and intensive verification of refugee claims," according to a press release from earlier this month.

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons is no longer required to appear in court on Friday, according to an order issued by Minnesota's chief judge.

Chief Judge Patrick Schiltz canceled Friday's hearing, noting that Lyons' appearance is no longer required because the individual previously denied a bond hearing was released.

However, in his order issued on Wednesday, Judge Schiltz said that the release of Juan T.R. "does not end the Court's concerns."

Schiltz attached an appendix that he said identifies 96 court orders that ICE violated in 74 cases.

"This list should give pause to anyone -- no matter his or her political beliefs -- who cares about the rule of law," Schiltz said. "ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence."

Schiltz issued a warning to ICE, stating that "future noncompliance with court orders" may result in new orders requiring the appearance of Lyons or other government officials.
