Attack of the Fanboy
Two federal agents involved in the fatal shooting of intensive care nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis have been placed on administrative leave following the incident.
A CBP spokesperson confirmed that both officers were placed on administrative leave, a development coming shortly after Trump dodges question on whether the Minneapolis shooting was justified.
Amid mounting pressure, President Trump moved to reshuffle leadership among immigration agents deployed in Minneapolis.
Border Patrol official Greg Bovino, whose tactics had drawn criticism, was replaced by policy-focused border immigration chief Tom Homan.
Frey responded publicly by stating that the role of local police is to keep people safe, not to enforce federal immigration laws.
