Fact Check: Alex Pretti’s Nursing License Was NOT Expired When He Was Fatally Shot By Ice Agents — Good Until April
Was Alex Pretti’s nursing license expired when he was shot to death by ICE agents on a Minneapolis street on January 24, 2026? No, that’s not true: The Minnesota Board of Nursing’s online credential search webpage showed Pretti’s registered nursing license, which was issued on January 19, 2021, was set to expire on March 31, 2026. An image shared in a social media post making the claim that his license was already expired appeared to be from an online search of a non-official website that lacked a specific date.
The claim appeared in a post (archived here) where it was shared by the @feeltheinferno X account on January 27, 2026. The caption above the image read:
Apparently Pretti’s nursing license was expired.
This is what the image in the post looked like at the time of writing:

There are numerous websites offering to search professional license databases, some free and some for a fee. We cannot tell which service was used in the search that listed Pretti’s license status as “Expired in Last Year,” but we did find a different answer from the official source — the Minnesota Board of Nursing. The state database said Pretti’s license was active on the day of his death.

We also searched (archived here) a non-official search service of nursys.com, which returned the same information as the Minnesota state search.

Pretti’s dedication to the nursing profession came under fire after his death, with social media posts falsely claiming he quit his hospital job months earlier. Lead Stories debunked that claim here.
