Two United States federal agents involved in the fatal shooting of intensive care nurse Alex Pretti during an immigration raid in Minneapolis have been placed on administrative leave, as fallout from the most recent killing of a US citizen continues to cause outrage.
AdvertisementPretti’s shooting followed the January 7 killing of Minneapolis resident Renee Good, a mother of three who was shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer.
In a bid to stem the political and public backlash over the violence by federal officers in Minnesota, US President Donald Trump has shuffled the leadership of immigration agents deployed in Minneapolis.
He replaced Greg Bovino, the Border Patrol official whose aggressive tactics in Minnesota have drawn widespread criticism, with his policy-focused border immigration chief Tom Homan.
Trump has sent thousands of federal officers to the city of Minneapolis and the surrounding state of Minnesota as part of the president’s aggressive deportation policy.
