The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.
I mean I figured it was the case but DHS seemed to be leaking to the press this was just a high whoopsie on account of the new guys being startled easily.
I still don’t buy this wasn’t intentional. Nobody puts 10 bullets (in 2 separate rounds of firing) in somebody who’s already been disarmed and incapacitated by accident. Even for Border Patrol that was excessive. Definitely not the first time they’ve encountered protestors, but the first time border czar happened to be waiting in the wings with the promise this could all be over so quickly if local police would just start rounding people up and handing them over to DHS.
