AI Summary

short article 2 min

Minnesota officials report that the FBI is refusing to cooperate with the state's investigation into the January 24th shooting death of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old nurse, by US Customs and Border Protection agents in Minneapolis. The shooting occurred during a protest against immigration enforcement. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) accuses the FBI of withholding information and evidence, calling the lack of cooperation "concerning and unprecedented." The BCA has stated its commitment to a thorough and transparent investigation despite the lack of federal cooperation and would welcome a joint investigation. Pretti's family has also called for a joint investigation to ensure justice and accountability. The incident occurred in the context of Operation Metro Surge, a controversial immigration crackdown launched during the Trump administration.
