"Sahan Journal asked the Department of Homeland Security what role Mancillas serves in Border Patrol, but the department declined to answer. CBP stresses honor and integrity in every aspect of our mission, and the overwhelming majority of CBP employees and officers perform their duties with honor and distinction, working tirelessly every day to keep our country safe, a DHS spokesperson told the Journal via email."
"On Saturday, Border Patrol agents fatally shot Alex Pretti, 37, who had been filming them in public. Video of the killing showed an agent removing a firearm from Pretti's waistband before agents shot him in the back several times. Pretti had a permit to carry the weapon. The killing came two weeks after ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed Renee Good, 37, as she attempted to drive away from agents."
At 3:25 a.m. a Minnesota state trooper found 31-year-old Alfredo Mancillas Jr., of Corpus Christi, Texas, slumped over his steering wheel in the Hamline-Midway neighborhood, covered in vomit. Mancillas failed a field sobriety test, refused a breathalyzer, was arrested and booked at the Ramsey County jail on third- and fourth-degree driving-while-impaired charges. The Department of Homeland Security declined to specify Mancillas's Border Patrol role, while CBP issued a statement emphasizing honor and integrity among employees. Roughly 3,000 Border Patrol and ICE agents have been deployed to the Twin Cities amid recent use-of-force incidents that prompted leadership changes and public scrutiny.
