Luis A. Miranda Jr.and Dr. Luz Towns-Miranda: As parents, we deeply feel the pain of Michael and Susan Pretti. They lost their son Alex—a dedicated nurse, a kindhearted man who spent his last moments trying to protect another person.

The lies this administration is telling about Alex are disgusting and reprehensible. The truth is clear: Alex Pretti was not holding any gun. He had his phone in one hand and the other raised while defending an innocent woman—and ICE agents killed him.

This cowardly violence cannot remain silent. We share his parents' words en español because they deserve to be understood by everyone. Alex was a hero. And we demand justice.

Share this message. Say his name. Alex Pretti.
