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.

The records viewed by ProPublica list Ochoa, 43, and Gutierrez, 35, as the shooters during the deadly encounter last weekend that left Pretti dead and ignited massive protests and calls for criminal investigations.

Both men were assigned to Operation Metro Surge, an immigration enforcement dragnet launched in December that sent scores of armed and masked agents across the city.

CBP, which employs both men, has so far refused to release their names and has disclosed few other facts about the deadly incident, which came days after a different immigration agent shot and killed another Minneapolis protester, a 37-year-old mother of three named Renee Good.

    The biggest Trump supporter I know is my 52 year old Hispanic neighbor. He would love ICE to come through our neighborhood, but he’s literally the person on our street they’re most likely to take. Needless to say, his life is pretty miserable. Dude pretty much hates everyone, and talks shit about his wife all the time

      I don’t think you should, but you could always send in an anonymous tip to ICE thereby calling out your neighbor on his bluff.

        The thought has definitely crossed my mind lmao

        But no, I don’t need to bring that energy to my neighborhood right now. Maybe I’ll wait until right before the election so he can’t vote

          Good call, as in no way they’d stop at this person alone for once, and for twice I don’t think that with all his thickness in the head, you’d like to see him being beaten and shot by the brownshirts.
