Doctor Who Fought to Treat Alex Pretti Says Border Patrol Moved His Body to Count Wounds Instead of Doing CPR

A disturbing incident on the U.S.-Mexico border has raised questions about the treatment of migrants and asylum seekers. A doctor who was present at the scene where 23-year-old Alex Presa Pretti died after being shot by a Border Patrol agent claims that agents moved his body to count the number of wounds instead of providing life-saving CPR.

According to an interview with CNN, Dr. Oscar Sánchez said that when he arrived on the scene, he was met with resistance from border agents who were more interested in documenting the injuries than in trying to save Pretti's life.

"They moved him to take a picture of his wounds," Sánchez said. "I told them, 'This is not a crime scene, this is an emergency.' But they didn't listen."

  • Pretti was shot by a Border Patrol agent after allegedly attempting to jump the border fence.
  • Dr. Sánchez claims that Pretti's wounds were severe and that he would have likely survived if CPR had been administered promptly.
  • The incident has sparked outrage among human rights advocates, who are calling for greater transparency and accountability in the treatment of migrants and asylum seekers by U.S. border agents.

While we can't comment on the specifics of this case, it's clear that there are many questions still to be answered about what happened on the U.S.-Mexico border that day.
