Bill > HJR0840

This resolution, passed by the Tennessee House of Representatives and concurred with by the Senate, honors the memory of Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen who was tragically killed by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents on January 24, 2026. The resolution recounts that Mr. Pretti was legally recording the actions of ICE and federal agents when he was pepper-sprayed and subsequently shot at least ten times while lying on the ground, despite holding only a phone. It highlights the shock and sadness his death caused and details his life, including his upbringing in Green Bay, Wisconsin, his education at the University of Minnesota, and his career as an intensive care unit nurse with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, where he was remembered as a helpful and dedicated individual. The resolution formally extends sympathy and condolences to his family and friends, and directs that an appropriate copy be prepared for presentation.
