The FBI is refusing to share evidence with Minnesota authorities regarding the January shooting death of Alex Pretti by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials in Minneapolis. Pretti's death occurred during the Trump administration's "Operation Metro Surge," an aggressive immigration enforcement operation. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) stated the FBI's lack of cooperation is unprecedented and hinders their ability to conduct a thorough, independent investigation. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has called for an impartial investigation, criticizing the FBI's refusal. The FBI has also refused to share information related to the shootings of Renee Good and Julio C Sosa-Celis, leading the BCA to halt its investigation into Good's killing.
