United States Customs and Border Protection

United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is a federal law enforcement agency responsible for securing U.S. borders and ports of entry. Recent news focuses on CBP's involvement in a controversial incident in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Following a surge of federal immigration officers into the area, two U.S. citizens, Alex Pretti and Renee Good, died. The death of Alex Pretti, an intensive care nurse, during an immigration raid, has sparked significant outrage and protests. Two CBP agents involved in the shooting of Pretti have been placed on administrative leave, which the agency states is standard protocol. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that federal immigration agents deployed in Minneapolis will receive body cameras, effective immediately. This development underscores the increasing scrutiny and calls for accountability surrounding CBP's operations and use of force.
