Ackman Donates $10K to Minneapolis Shooting Victim’s Family, Reports WSJ
Billionaire investor Bill Ackman has made a significant contribution to a GoFundMe campaign aimed at supporting the family of Alex Pretti, who tragically lost his life due to a shooting involving immigration agents in Minneapolis. His donation amounted to $10,000, as reported by the Wall Street Journal.
A Fundraiser for Alex Pretti
The GoFundMe page dedicated to Pretti’s family has gained remarkable traction, raising over $1 million as of Monday morning. Ackman’s donation has been noted among the contributions supporting Pretti’s loved ones.
Context of the Shooting
This shooting incident marks the second fatal encounter between federal immigration officers and an American in Minneapolis within the same month. The circumstances surrounding these events have drawn national attention, especially given the ongoing controversial immigration policies enforced by the Trump administration. Thousands of armed agents have been deployed in a wide-reaching deportation effort.
Trump’s Response
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Trump mentioned that his administration is actively reviewing these incidents. However, officials have faced criticism as footage of the shooting contradicts their initial explanations.
Ackman’s Previous Contributions
- Ackman also donated $10,000 earlier in January to support the family of Jonathan Ross, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer involved in another fatal shooting incident.
- That case involved Renee Good, the first victim in Minneapolis this month.
- Despite his contributions, Ackman expressed his desire to also help Good’s family, but the fundraiser had already met its $1.5 million goal.
A Commitment to Support
Ackman maintains that his donations reflect a long-standing commitment to assist those facing severe legal accusations. He continues to advocate for support and resources for families affected by such tragic incidents.
