The Justice Department has initiated a federal civil rights investigation into the fatal shooting of 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis during a confrontation with protesters. The shooting has drawn significant criticism of the Trump administration’s immigration policies, especially following another recent fatal shooting by a federal officer. Pretti’s family seeks a thorough investigation, while the FBI and Customs and Border Protection are conducting their own inquiries into the incident. Tensions escalated after President Trump labeled Pretti an “agitator” following the release of a video showing Pretti’s aggressive behavior towards immigration agents prior to his death.
