Newly released footage appears to show Alex Pretti spitting at ICE officers inside their vehicles, verbally abusing them, and kicking the taillight out of one of their vehicles during a confrontation that took place before he was fatally shot.
ICE officers can be seen tackling Pretti to the ground but then releasing him in the face of an enraged crowd of “protesters.”
A gun could be seen in his waistband as he was let go.
