The federal agents who were involved in Saturday's deadly shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis have been placed on administrative leave, a federal law enforcement official confirmed to CBS News.
Typically, the protocol is for federal law-enforcement agents who have been involved in a shooting to be placed on administrative leave during the course of the investigation.
"All agents that were involved in that scene are working, not in Minneapolis, but in other locations," Bovino said Sunday.
Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse, was shot and killed by federal immigration agents amid the immigration crackdown in Minneapolis known as Operation Metro Surge.
It was the second fatal shooting in Minneapolis by immigration officers this month.
