Following Friday\u2019s National Shutdown Day,<\/a> which numerous Florida organizations, businesses and schools participated in, more anti-ICE protests are planned for the weekend.<\/p>\n

Activists in disagreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement called for Americans to skip school, work and avoid shopping Friday. They also advised supporters to attend one of various rallies taking place over the weekend.<\/p>\n

All of this is in response to the fatal shooting in Minnesota of Alex Pretti<\/a>, a U.S. citizen and registered nurse who treated veterans. Pretti was shot and killed by a Border Patrol agent after confronting immigration authorities on Jan. 24.<\/p>\n

Federal officials said Pretti was carrying a gun he intended to use to “kill law enforcement.” Videos from bystanders<\/a> \u2014 and a witness account in court filings<\/a> \u2014 do not show Pretti brandishing a weapon when he approached agents.<\/p>\n

Border Patrol commander-at-large Gregory Bovino blamed Pretti for the shooting and said in a news conference the government\u2019s \u201cimmigration mission continues unabated here in Minneapolis despite yesterday\u2019s tragedy that was preventable by folks making better choices.\u201d<\/p>\n

The shooting occurred in a city already on edge following the killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good<\/a>. The mother of three and U.S. citizen was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer Jan. 7.<\/p>\n
