News of another fatal shooting by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Minneapolis is shocking the world, but some trolls are trying to ragebait critics with the so-called "Pretti Good" meme.

The memes take the names of the victims, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, and combine them in controversial memes that poke fun at the situation and ICE critics in general. Now, some people are pushing back against them as they spread online.

So, where does the "Pretti Good" meme come from, and what exactly is it all about? Here's what we know.

What Is The 'Pretti Good' Meme?

Alex Pretti was the victim of a fatal shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on January 24th, 2026. His death marked the second fatal shooting by an ICE agent this month, following the killing of Renee Good just two weeks earlier.

These shootings have led to reported unrest in Minneapolis, including protests against ICE, the current U.S. presidential administration and a lot of online discourse about how the situation should be handled.

Of course, there are also many online who are defending ICE and the administration against critics, insisting the gun was fired in self-defense.

One example is a fast-spreading meme posted by X / Twitter user @TheOnlyDSC on the day of the shooting, captioned, "Q: How do you think ICE is doing in Minnesota? | A:" followed by a photo of Alex Pretti labeled "Pretti" and Renee Good labeled "Good."

How Is 'Pretti Good' Being Used In Memes?

The original "Pretti Good" post gained over 30,000 likes and was screenshotted by other users. From there, it spread as a reaction image in late January 2026 and started getting used as a form of ragebait, where it is posted under statements that defend or support the administration and ICE.

Most of these posts use similar jokes about thinking that ICE is doing a "pretty good" job in Minnesota.

Some of these memes feature references to an old iDubbbz meme in which he says, "Hey! That's pretty good." Now, other memes re-interpreting their names are also going viral.

One X user tried to flip the meme on its head by posting a mockup of a poster reading, "Pretti Good reason for a national strike," suggesting that action should be taken to keep an incident like this from happening again.
