The January 27, 2026 Issue 1025 of the zReportage.com online magazine explores the last 365 days of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (I.C.E.) operations across America. Featuring powerful images from ZUMA Press award winning photojournalists: Carol Guzy in New York City, Dave Decker in Minneapolis, Scott Mc Kiernan in Portland, and Jonathan Alcorn, Ringo Chiu, Jill Connelly, Mark Edward Harris, and Héctor Adolfo Quintanar Pérez in Los Angeles, documenting a year of actions by ICE agents and the resulting consequences of nationwide protests. A year ago following President Trump’s inauguration on January 20, 2025, the administration began on January 26, 2025 implementing what it promised would be “the largest domestic deportation operation of illegals and criminals in American history”. Since then, immigration enforcement has intensified with federal authorities making an average of 500 arrests per day, a 78% increase over 2024, and fueling fear and loathing among many Americans. As global attention remains fixed on the shock and awe style of THE TRUMP SHOW, tensions have continued to escalate. Most recently ‘Operation Metro Surge’ in Minneapolis, another large-scale federal immigration enforcement effort, has stunned the world, when it was marred by two fatal encounters of two civilian protesters at the hands of ICE agents, sparking widespread protests and calls for accountability. Welcome to ‘THE TRUMP SHOW: IRE & ICE’

Behind an emerging memorial for Alex Pretti, the 37-year-old VA ICU nurse who was fatally shot by U.S. Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents during an operation in Minneapolis, stands a building that serves elderly and disabled adults. According to the owner of the Nicollet Adult Day Care Center located at 2614 Nicollet Ave S., Mohamud Isse, the store-front glass was struck by at least two bullets and investigators later recovered a projectile believed to have come from the weapons of the ICE agents involved in the January 24, 2026 shooting of Mr. Pretti.
On January 25, approximately 24 hours after the fatal shooting, investigators from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension arrived to begin a state-level inquiry into the incident. Until this point, no local, state or federal investigators had entered the building or secured the interior crime scene. Only the family of Mr. Isse and ZUMA Press photojournalist Amy Katz, had been inside the building since the shooting. Even more than 30 hours after the incident, federal law enforcement agencies had not taken visible action to secure the scene or conduct their own publicly acknowledged investigation inside the building.
Four days before he was killed, Mr. Pretti had coffee with Mr. Isse at the same Nicollet Avenue location where ICE agents later shot him dead. Mr. Pretti was a familiar face in the community and often walked past the adult day care center, a neighborhood hub which offered a place for people to get warm and have conversations with other community members. Mr. Isse is mourning the loss of his friend amid the growing grief in the neighborhood and throughout the city.
