Two federal agents who killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis got benched from their jobs this week. Bovino had defended his agents aggressively after both the Pretti shooting and the earlier killing of Renee Good on January 7. The judge had ordered federal agents to preserve evidence from the crime scene. Protests erupted across Minneapolis after the shooting, with demonstrators blowing whistles and banging pots outside hotels where federal agents stayed. Operation Metro Surge deployed roughly 3,000 federal agents to Minnesota, five times the size of the Minneapolis Police Department’s entire force.
