Hosts of The View Say New Alex Pretti Clip Doesn’t Change ICE Killing Case

Whoopi Goldberg raised concerns that the footage could be used politically by the Trump administration.

Overview

  • Newly surfaced video shows Alex Pretti kicking the tail light of an ICE vehicle and spitting at agents in Minneapolis 11 days before he was killed.
  • The hosts said the earlier incident does not justify the fatal shooting or alter the central facts of the case.
  • Alyssa Farah Griffin argued the video suggests officers could have immobilized Pretti without lethal force, and hosts said he was shot ten times after his weapon was removed.
  • The panel called for stronger de-escalation practices by ICE, with Whoopi Goldberg adding a demand to remove masks from agents for accountability.
  • The cohosts split on whether celebrities have a responsibility to speak out, while Sara Haines criticized the administration’s immigration priorities and urged shifting funds to domestic needs.
