Video Evidence Challenges Administration's False Narrative
Last Wednesday, a video surfaced showing Alex Pretti kicking an ICE vehicle, 11 days before Border Patrol agents fatally shot him in Minneapolis; right-wing figures used the clip to justify the killing while some on the left wrongly labeled it an AI deepfake. The article warns that baseless deepfake accusations erode the evidentiary power of recorded video, weaken accountability for state violence, and aid misleading administration narratives.

- 1Documented video shows Pretti damaging an ICE vehicle before his fatal shooting by federal agents
