Melania Trump breaks silence on Alex Pretti shooting with rare plea to the U.S.

The Pretti family has forcefully rejected the administration’s characterization of their son, accusing federal officials of spreading falsehoods in the aftermath of his death.

In an emotional statement, they said:

“Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman.”

They continued with a pointed condemnation of the government’s claims:

“The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand, and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper-sprayed.”
