In a city already reeling from two deadly encounters with federal immigration agents, Bill Ackman’s twin donations land like a moral riddle. First, he helped fund the legal defense of ICE agent Jonathan Ross, insisting that “innocent until proven guilty” demands resources, not slogans. Now, he has sent the same sum to the grieving family of Alex Pretti, the ICU nurse and anti-ICE protester shot while filming an operation on Minneapolis streets.
To some, Ackman is playing both sides of a war he can watch from a distance. To others, he is doing what politicians refuse to do: acknowledging that tragedy cuts in more than one direction, and that due process and compassion should not be mutually exclusive. As Pretti’s family faces a future without him and Ross awaits judgment, the city is left to ask whether one billionaire’s money can ever feel like anything but a verdict.
