A Fox News Digital investigation has revealed that a sophisticated network of far-left organizations played a central role in the events leading up to and following the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis. Encrypted messages and a detailed database show that activists were already mobilized at the scene before the shooting, tracking federal agents and summoning reinforcements. After Pretti's death, socialist and communist groups rapidly organized nationwide protests, using sensational video clips and coordinated messaging to galvanize supporters and frame Pretti as a martyr. The response, marked by calls for general strikes and emergency protests, highlights the disciplined logistics and insurgent-style tactics of these groups, which have been compared to previous mobilizations following high-profile incidents in Minneapolis.
