Jimmy Kimmel devoted his entire Monday night monologue to addressing the murder of Alex Pretti: "One atrocity after another"

"Tonight is our 23rd anniversary; we went on the air 23 years ago tonight. It was a very different time back then, a better time."

"I spent the weekend, like probably a lot of you did, looking at my phone and just feeling shocked and sick about what is happening in Minneapolis."

"You see one video after another: screaming people being torn from their families, Americans being pulled out of their cars for the crime of having an accent, and small children being teargassed and taken into custody."

"It is just one atrocity after another being committed by this gang of poorly trained, shamefully led, mask-wearing goons."

"They are committing vile, heartless, and even criminal acts. It's sickening and frustrating to watch because it feels like we’re all being forced to play a game that has no rules."

"We see videos in which one of our fellow Americans is clearly executed by ICE, and they won't even admit it was a mistake."

"They say the SUV Renee Good was driving was 'weaponized.' They say the gun Alex Pretti had a license to carry—in an open-carry state—was the issue."

"Many of these same people screamed loudly in support of Kyle Rittenhouse carrying a gun, yet Alex Pretti did not even draw or touch his weapon."

"It was taken from him by an agent before he was shot dead."

"They fired ten times on an ICU nurse and then told us it was justified. Is that the 'law and order' you voted for?"

"Every day is a nightmare. My wife and I have family in Minneapolis; they’re afraid to take their kids to school or go to work."

"I can only imagine how people who aren't white feel about this."

"What is the plan? Is it to just keep doing this in every city that didn't vote for Donald Trump?"

"Can we agree that peaceful protesters, including a mom driving an SUV after dropping her kid at school and a nurse who stepped in to protect a woman, don't deserve to be shot dead in the street by the people we pay to protect us?"

"Can we agree that when a person is murdered in cold blood, there should at least be an investigation?"

"Our ironically titled head of Homeland Security has a responsibility to get facts before telling us that what we saw, we did not see."

"If we can't agree on that, forget it."

"It's on video. Form your own opinion without being told what you saw, and then say something."

"Where are the reasonable voices on the right?"

"If this were a group of trans swimmers shooting a guy for making a cell phone video, you'd be heating up the electric chairs right now. Admit it."

"The right is claiming agents were in danger because a gun was 'produced,' but the video tells a different story."

"If that were ISIS instead of ICE, we'd be firing missiles and pledging allegiance to the flag together right now."

"This has to stop, and I’m convinced the only people who can stop it are on the right."

"We need decent people to show some courage and common sense."

"Meanwhile, the administration is focused on other things."

"Attorney General Pam Bondi sent a letter to Governor Tim Walz asking for Minnesota’s voter rolls in exchange for 'de-escalation.'"

"It was a 'cease and desist to be a democracy' letter, which Walz flatly denied."

"Pro-tip to the Attorney General: there are two million documents in the Epstein files we’re still waiting on. Work on those instead."

"Trump claims he had a 'very good call' with Walz, which usually just means he didn't use a slur."

"He’s replacing his 'number one ice-hole' in Minneapolis, Greg Bovino—a man who looks like the Proud Boys recruited McLovin—with Tom Homan."

"Bovino actually claimed the Border Patrol agents were the 'victims' in the shooting."

"As for Homan, he was caught on tape in 2024 accepting $50,000 in a fast-food bag from undercover agents."

"In this administration, taking a bag of cash gets you a promotion."

"While the country mourns, the President is boasting about his new $400 million ballroom and sharing designs for an 'Independence Arch' that looks like something from Liberace’s lawn."

"In less than a month, this administration has started a war in Minnesota, invaded Venezuela, and killed two US citizens, yet he still thinks he was cheated out of a Nobel Peace Prize."

"Finally, I want to leave you with the man Steven Miller called a 'would-be assassin.'"

"Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse who treated veterans."

"In a video from 2024, Alex honored a patient who passed away, saying, 'Today we remember that freedom is not free. We have to work at it, nurture it, protect it, and even sacrifice for it.'"

"Alex Pretti, may he rest in peace."
