Megyn Kelly has no sympathy for Alex Pretti, who was killed in Minneapolis.

Megyn Kelly Comments on Shooting of ICU Nurse Alex Preti

Megyn Kelly has expressed her lack of sympathy for ICU nurse Alex Preti, who was shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis, while also criticizing the actions of those protesting immigration enforcement.

“I know I probably should feel sorry for Alex Preti, but honestly, I don’t,” Kelly stated on Monday, emphasizing that individuals who disrupt law enforcement operations are accountable for the outcomes.

She argued that protests should occur peacefully and without police interference, warning that any physical confrontations with Border Patrol or ICE agents could quickly become perilous.

According to Kelly, resisting arrest puts people at significant risk, even if they’re unarmed.

“It’s quite simple: If you feel strongly about government actions, then you should protest,” she said on SiriusXM’s “The Megyn Kelly Show.” “I believe in doing so peacefully, without causing a disturbance or getting involved physically.”

“I can express my dissent without causing interference, because that leads to disaster,” she added.

Kelly noted that approaching an officer engaged in law enforcement is a felony and could lead to arrest, advising that any form of resistance typically results in severe consequences.

She described Preti as part of a group attempting to “disrupt law enforcement,” labeling him a “subversive presence.” “He wasn’t there to assist. He arrived with a loaded gun, intending to create trouble for Border Patrol agents, and that trouble came back to him,” she asserted.

Footage from the scene shows Preti standing on the street during a federal immigration raid, seemingly recording agents just moments before the incident. The video does not depict him brandishing a firearm before the shooting.

Additional clips illustrate federal agents rushing Preti, bringing him to the ground. As he was subdued, an officer was seen removing a handgun from his waistband, shortly before shots were fired.

This sequence has raised questions among critics and local officials about whether Preti represented an immediate threat when deadly force was deployed.

The newspaper has sought comment from Preti’s family.

In response to the unrest in Minneapolis, the White House is taking measures to ease tensions, with President Trump indicating a shift from his previously hardline stance. He remarked on Sunday that his administration is “looking into everything” regarding the incident, though he refrained from declaring whether the agents acted correctly.

The White House distanced Trump from earlier provocative statements made by aides who labeled Preti a “domestic terrorist,” underscoring the president’s preference for investigators to pursue factual inquiries.

Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino, involved in the immigration operations in Minneapolis and who defended his agents’ actions, is set to be reassigned, signaling significant changes in oversight. Meanwhile, Trump announced the removal of Bovino and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem from daily operations, designating Border Patrol agent Tom Homan to directly manage the situation in Minnesota.
