On January 24, 2026, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a Minneapolis resident and American citizen was executed on the streets of Minneapolis by ICE agents.

This fundraiser is intended to support the loved ones he leaves behind with immediate and ongoing needs. Because details are still unfolding, and to ensure the money goes to the right person, funds will not be distributed until we can verify next-of-kin and identify the appropriate family representative to manage anything raised.

If, for any reason, the funds cannot be transferred to Alex?s family, we will direct the total amount to the Immigrant Defense Project, a nonprofit that provides litigation, advocacy, and community-defense resources to help immigrants defend their rights and fight deportation.

For more than two decades, IDP has stood up for the rights of all immigrants and fought the vilification of immigrants with criminal convictions. By supporting IDP, you?ll be joining a community of passionate supporters who believe that no one is disposable.
