Government records identify Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and CBP officer Raymundo Gutierrez as the agents who shot and killed Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti during an encounter last week. The shooting occurred during Operation Metro Surge, an immigration enforcement operation in the city. CBP has not released the agents' names, fueling protests and calls for transparency, especially following another recent shooting by an immigration agent that killed a different Minneapolis protester.

Lawmakers from both parties are calling for a transparent and independent investigation into Pretti's death, emphasizing accountability. The agents have been placed on leave following the January 24th incident.
