Mandy Moore, Chrissy Teigen and more celebrities speak out after ICE fatally shoots nurse in Minneapolis: 'This is terrifying territory'

Hollywood has spoken out following the fatal ICE shooting this weekend in Minneapolis - with stars such as Mandy Moore and Chrissy Teigen sharing their thoughts on the incident. 

Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old Minnesota resident and nurse, was shot dead during an altercation with federal agents on Saturday. 

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a press conference that Pretti had 'reacted violently' amid the altercation and further questioned why he was carrying a legally-held weapon at the time.  

She added that Pretti had 'impeded' ICE's 'law enforcement operations, attacked those officers, had a weapon on him and multiple, dozens of rounds of ammunition.'

However, friends close to Pretti said to the Daily Mail that he was 'executed' by a Border Patrol agent. 

Moore took to her Instagram stories not long after the incident and reposted a New York Times article that had the headline: 'Federal Agents Shoot And Kill A Person In Minneapolis, Officials Say.' 

The actress then added her own message at the bottom which read, 'We have eyeballs. 

'We've seen the video. They executed someone else. I'm not sure how this ends. This is terrifying territory.'

Teigen also jumped to her Instagram stories to repost a tweet shared by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on X. 

The U.S. representative wrote: 'Americans are being killed in the street by their government. Our Constitution is being shredded and our rights are dissolving. Resist. 

'Senate Dems should block ICE funding this week. Activate the National Guard. We can and must stop this.' 

Teigen - who is marred to singer John Legend - then reposted another post AOC shared to X on Saturday which read, 'We have a responsibility to protect Americans from tyranny.

'DHS just shot a man in broad daylight two weeks after they shot a mother in the face without consequence. They need our votes to continue. We cannot give it to them. Every Senator should vote NO.' 

In another slide, Teigen shared a post uploaded by journalist Molly Jong-Fast on X where she penned, 'I don't know how many times this administration can tell us things we saw on video aren't true.'

Busy Phillips is another celebrity who spoke out on the shooting and penned in a lengthy caption on Instagram: 'my god. they will just keep murdering people and lying as long as they can. call your elected representatives. 

'Take to the streets. boycott the businesses and people that support this,' the actress encouraged. 'Vote the people who support this out of office. i don't know. i'm at a loss.' 

She later asked her followers how 'half the country [does] not understand they're on the wrong side? 

'How do they not recognize actual evil fueled by abject greed and a desire for unchecked power when it's right here in front of us? They really don't get it?' 

Phillips concluded by adding, 'Or they really don't give a f***? Either way, it's rotten to its core and i guess we just have to keep showing up. We have the numbers for good. i know it.' 

The White Chicks star also shared additional posts in the slides alongside her message, such as one shared by the user of @quentin.quarantino. 

The post shared an image of Pretti as well as the caption, 'Alex Pretti, the 37-year-old American citizen executed by Trump's gestapo today, was an ICU nurse who helped critically ill veterans. 

'He died protecting a fellow citizen. An American hero was executed in the streets today.' 

Phillips additionally included a post from @MoveOn which shared: 'As we can see with our own eyes, Trump's ICE murdered another person today.' 

The actress also shared a post from @isaiahmartin who had uploaded an image of Kylie Rittenhouse. 

Martin then wrote: 'Reminder that Kyle Rittenhouse showed up to a protest like this and Republicans called him a hero.'
