(NBC)- The two U.S. Border Patrol agents who fired their weapons in the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis are on administrative leave, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz continues to call for federal immigration agents to leave the state, saying he has seen no evidence that their presence has been reduced. Meanwhile, new video has emerged showing Pretti involved in an altercation with federal immigration officers 11 days before his death. “Political violence or those sort of confrontations should be condemned across the board,” said Senator Eric Schmitt of Missouri.
