Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are joining other members of their caucus in refusing to support the department in the wake of a second fatal shooting caught on camera in Minneapolis by a federal agent amid an immigration crackdown in the city.
The latest victim, a man killed on Saturday, was identified by authorities as 37-year-old Alex Pretti, U.S. citizen and registered nurse.
“Massively deployed and ill-trained Federal forces are violating civil liberties with impunity and showing reckless disregard for life and property,” Ossoff said in a statement.
