No it hasn’t.Oh yes it has.
First off I don’t care if Pretti had a gun permit or not. Common sense tells one you don’t
bring loaded weapons and ammunition to an already out of hand mob fighting the Law.
Just like Good his belligerent, running off at the mouth arguing and scuffing with Law Officers
will always end up bad.

“We already knew that Pretti was carrying a loaded handgun and two extra loaded magazines when he showed up at an active ICE operation targeting a violent criminal illegal immigrant. And like Good before him, Pretti wasn't some random citizen. He was part of an organized network dedicated to interfering with immigration enforcement.
And he brought a loaded gun.
Cam Higby from Newsmax spent days undercover inside the Signal messaging groups these activists use to coordinate their efforts. What he found was stunning in its sophistication. These aren't just angry citizens showing up to protest. This is a well-oiled machine running 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
MINNEAPOLIS SIGNAL INFILTRATED
ICE chaser operations go all night. The dispatch call is 24/7. These are messages screenshotted at 2am asking for observers at a location with potential illegals.
It’s from a “vetted” chat called “Wolfpack”
The groups use emojis next to members' names to denote specific roles. You've got mobile patrols driving around searching for federal vehicles. Foot patrols are working the streets. Dispatchers are running constant calls directing people where ICE has been spotted and how best to interfere with their operations. License plate checkers maintain databases of known federal vehicles. Even medics are standing by. They're running shift changes, clocking in and out, just like any organized operation.

“These people track federal agents all night long. Higby captured screenshots at 2 a.m. showing dispatchers calling for observers at locations with potential targets.”

AI Overview
“Based on reports surrounding the death of 37-year-old Alex Pretti in Minneapolis in January 2026, the Signal messaging groups used by activists to coordinate anti-ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) activities were described as highly organized and sophisticated.
Key aspects of the sophistication found in these groups included:
Real-Time Tracking and Surveillance: Activists used the encrypted chats to track the movements of federal agents ("ICE abductors") in real time, allowing them to mobilize at specific locations, such as the scene outside a donut shop where Pretti was killed.
Strategic Organization: The network involved dividing the city into districts, assigning specific roles to members, and establishing clear rules of engagement to obstruct federal law enforcement operations.
Propaganda and Rapid Response: The groups utilized short, sensational video clips and emojis as rapid-response weapons for propaganda, enabling them to coordinate efforts quickly.
Operational Discipline: The groups operated with high-level coordination, acting as "self-deputized rapid responders" rather than spontaneous protesters.
Alex Pretti was reported to be an active participant in these, or similar, Minneapolis-based Signal groups aimed at tracking and targeting federal immigration officers.”
