Civil rights investigation opened into Alex Pretti shooting
Potential abuse of power by federal immigration agents warrants urgent attention.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has opened a civil rights investigation into the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis. The FBI will lead the investigation, with support from the DOJ's Civil Rights Division. Two agents involved in the shooting have been placed on administrative leave while the incident is investigated. The deaths of Pretti and Renee Good, who was shot dead by ICE officers in the same city weeks earlier, have sparked protests and calls for federal agents to be withdrawn from Minnesota.
