Hennepin County Attorney to Demand Alex Pretti Killing Evidence From Feds
Hennepin County Attorney demands federal agencies release evidence amid investigations of multiple January shootings involving immigration officers, citing video disputes and legal accountability concerns.
- This week Moriarty plans to send a formal demand to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and DOJ for evidence in the Jan. 24, 2026 killing of Alex Pretti.
