Hard to say how many showed up for Alex Pretti’s vigil, but easily hundreds if not thousands. After community activists and leaders spoke at the park where they gathered, everyone marched to the site of Pretti’s killing. Streets just filled with people demanding ICE out.

Oh my god
If you’re looking to understand who Alex Pretti was, look no further than this video where he honors a veteran who has passed away.
He was not a domestic terrorist.
He was a good man and a hero.
