Vigil Held in Toronto for Man Killed by U.S. Border Patrol in Minneapolis
The Justice Department will not pursue civil rights charges in the death of Alex Pretti, leaving investigations to Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection agencies.
- On Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Justice declined a civil rights probe into Alex Pretti's death, with the Department of Homeland Security taking the lead on reviews.
- Pretti was attending Minneapolis protests after Renee Nicole Good's killing, and he intervened to help a woman shoved by a masked officer, leading to agents grappling with him before he was shot.
- Bystander video and an FBI memo indicate rapid, contested handling of evidence, showing about 10 gunshots in seconds and agents grappling with Pretti while most evidence was transferred to DHS.
- DHS retroactively labeled Pretti a 'domestic terrorist' and said he 'approached officers with a 9mm,' while critics warn DHS and CBP investigating themselves suggests a cover-up.
- Amid nationwide protests, federal personnel shifted as the White House reassigned Tom Homan, border czar, to Minneapolis, ousting Greg Bovino; Senator Rand Paul and the NRA criticized federal enforcement.
