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.
There are a couple possibilities:
You forgot an option they’ve done stuff like this before, likely to a minority or immigrant, and thought they could continue to get away with it
Or E) B,C, and D
All but the first one are likely. Patsies, maybe, but full-on fictitious? There’s no way that wouldn’t bite the Nazi admins in the collective ass. The rest? Yeah, all of the above.
