This is a turning point in Minneapolis—and for the Trump administration’s narrative. A 37-year-old ICU nurse and U.S. citizen, Alex Jeffrey Prey, was shot and killed by federal immigration agents during a protest. Within hours, DHS and Trump allies labeled him a domestic terrorist, claiming he approached officers with a gun and posed a deadly threat. But multiple videos and eyewitness accounts tell a very different story.
Footage shows Prey holding a phone, not a weapon, as he tried to help a woman being shoved by agents. Witnesses say he was pepper-sprayed, tackled, disarmed, pinned to the ground, and then shot. None of the verified videos show him brandishing a gun. A federal judge has now ordered DHS to preserve all evidence—an extraordinary step that reflects growing distrust.
Prey’s family is fighting back not with violence, but with truth—challenging what they call sickening lies and demanding the public see who their son really was: a caregiver, a nurse, and a good man. The videos are doing what rhetoric can’t—collapsing the official story in real time.
