"As federal immigration crackdowns in Minnesota continued on Tuesday, an initial report to Congress from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) obtained by various news outlets indicates that two officers fired their guns at Alex Pretti during his fatal shooting. The report emerged as Donald Trump signals he may begin reducing the surge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal agents in the state."
"CBPO was confronted by two female civilians blowing whistles. The CBPO ordered the female civilians to move out of the roadway, and the female civilians did not move. The CBPO pushed them both away and one of the females ran to a male, later identified as 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a US citizen. The CBPO attempted to move the woman and Pretti out of the roadway."
The DHS report indicates CBP personnel attempted to take Alex Pretti into custody after a CBPO confronted two women. The officer ordered them to move, pushed them when they did not, and one woman ran to Pretti. The officer deployed oleoresin capsicum spray toward both. Pretti resisted, a struggle ensued, and a border patrol agent yelled, 'He's got a gun!' multiple times. About five seconds later a BPA fired a CBP-issued Glock 19 and a CBPO fired a CBP-issued Glock 47 at Pretti. The report does not indicate whether either discharge struck Pretti; a firearm removed from Pretti was later cleared and secured in a patrol car.
