Trump Administration Prohibited from Altering Alex Pretti Shooting Evidence

A federal judge in Minnesota has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from destroying evidence related to the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by a Border Patrol agent during an immigration operation. The lawsuit, filed by the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office and the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, aims to ensure a thorough investigation by preserving evidence collected by federal agents. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison emphasized the necessity of accountability and transparency in the case, highlighting that federal agents are not above the law. Pretti, a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs nurse, was pronounced dead at the scene after allegedly resisting arrest while armed.
