Der Besitzer einer Buchhandlung in Minneapolis hat ICE attackiert. Seine Tirade ging viral. – „Bovino ist weg, und wenn es wahr ist, dass ich geholfen habe, bin ich sehr glücklich. Wenn Krisi Noem geht, wäre ich noch glücklicher. Und wenn Trump geht, werde ich begeistert sein“, sagte er. „Ich hoffe einfach, dass alle zusammenhalten.“

Ketter, the longtime and otherwise mild-mannered owner of Dream Haven Books & Comics on E. 38th St, went viral after a Jan. 24 video captured him swearing angrily after walking through a billowing cloud of tear gas deployed by federal immigration agents shortly after they shot and killed Minneapolis ICU nurse Alex Pretti.

Ketter didn’t know Pretti, but he’d previously attended anti-ICE demonstrations around the city, and when he heard about the shooting, he drove down to Nicollet Avenue to join the growing crowd.

People pay their respects during a candlelight vigil for Alex Pretti after he was shot and killed earlier in the day on Jan. 24, 2026 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Federal agents shot and killed Pretti amid a scuffle to arrest him. The Trump administration has sent a reported 3,000 federal agents into the area, with more on the way, as they make a push to arrest undocumented immigrants in the region.

„I’m just angry,“ Ketter blurted after a bystander asked him if he was OK after walking through the tear gas. „I’m 70 years old and I’m f******* angry.“

In a beanie and plaid jacket, black scarf wrapped around his neck, Ketter for an instant embodied the frustration and sadness and anger felt by many Twin City residents ‒ and millions more Americans ‒ at the aggressive immigration enforcement unleashed by President Donald Trump. (For the record, Ketter is actually 69 but got so flustered he said 70.)

„They just killed him,“ Ketter said to the camera, his voice caught in his throat, speaking of Pretti.
