President Donald Trump on Jan. 28 shared newly released video footage showing Alex Pretti in a violent confrontation with federal agents in Minneapolis 11 days before he was fatally shot during a separate immigration enforcement operation, amid ongoing political and public scrutiny of the shooting.

The video, shared by Trump on his Truth Social platform, was published on Jan. 28 by digital outlet The News Movement and was filmed several miles from the location where Pretti was involved in a separate violent encounter with federal agents on Jan. 24, during which he was fatally shot.
