Minnesota sues feds, alleging obstruction in Good, Pretti, Sosa-Celis shootings investigations

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, along with Hennepin County District Attorney Mary Moriarty and the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, filed a federal lawsuit in Washington, D.C., accusing the Justice Department and Homeland Security of blocking state investigators from accessing evidence in the shootings of Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, detailing refusals to share key evidence (including Good’s car), obstructed witness interviews, and shifts in investigation leadership that allegedly violate federal law and the 10th Amendment.

FBI withholds evidence in Alex Pretti case, Minnesota investigators say

The FBI has formally refused to share evidence in the Jan. 24 killing of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, which Minnesota's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension calls concerning and unprecedented. The BCA says it will pursue legal avenues to obtain materials and would welcome a joint investigation if the stance changes. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty plans to demand the evidence from the DOJ and DHS; Pretti's family has urged a joint state-federal probe. A restraining order to protect evidence at the scene was briefly issued before being lifted.

Poll data show GOP backlash grows after Alex Pretti killing

New Ipsos and Quinnipiac polls released after Alex Pretti’s death show Americans view the shooting by federal agents as excessive and not justified, with Republicans shifting more against the administration’s immigration crackdown. Ipsos finds 55% call the force excessive vs. 16% who see it as necessary, and Quinnipiac reports 62% say Pretti’s killing was not justified (vs. 22% not justified for Good earlier). The data mirror a widening Republican backlash, complicating Trump’s hardline immigration agenda and signaling political vulnerability if another incident occurs.

DHS Officers Named in Fatal Minneapolis Shooting of Alex Pretti

Government records identify Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and CBP officer Raymundo Gutierrez as the officers who fatally shot Minneapolis nurse Alex Pretti; DHS says two agents fired but it’s unclear whether one or both struck him, while bystander videos appear to contradict the agency’s narrative. Pretti was killed during an arrest attempt and was a legally armed resident. A congressional forum on DHS tactics is planned, with witnesses including relatives of affected individuals and policing experts.

Medico-Legacy: Minneapolis Case Finds Alex Pretti’s Death a Homicide, Not Self-Defense

The Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office officially ruled Alex Pretti’s death a homicide caused by multiple gunshot wounds, countering officials’ claims that he brandished a weapon. Video evidence reportedly shows Pretti held only his cellphone (with a permit to carry) when federal agents fired, sparking nationwide protests and renewed calls for accountability. The Star Tribune reported the new finding, which follows earlier homicide determinations in related cases.

Judge lifts evidence-preservation order in Alex Pretti shooting, chiding White House remarks

A federal judge in Minnesota lifted the restraining order protecting evidence from the Jan. 24, 2026 fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by a U.S. Border Patrol officer, saying the FBI-led probe reduces risk of evidence destruction and that other factors don’t justify continued preservation orders. The ruling criticizes public comments by White House officials as inflammatory and partisan, notes possible early mishandling of the scene amid crowd disruption, and leaves open access to the evidence for state prosecutors amid ongoing investigations.

Corporate leaders face tipping point after Minnesota shooting

After Alex Pretti’s death at the hands of federal officers in Minneapolis, corporate leaders wrestle with when and how to speak out. A group of Minnesota-based CEOs released a joint letter calling for de-escalation but stopped short of specific actions, while other executives spoke out more quickly and employees circulated an open letter condemning the killings. Experts say CEOs act at ‘tipping points’ and that collective action matters more than loud individual statements, weighing reputational and talent risks against activism and public pressure.

Immigrant witness recalls deadly Minneapolis shooting by federal agents

An Ecuadorian immigrant who witnessed the Jan. 24 shooting in Minneapolis describes how Border Patrol agents pursued him and how Alex Pretti was killed during the encounter, saying Pretti did not threaten officers. DHS’s initial claims of defensive shots and a massacre are contradicted by video and a CBP preliminary report. Huerta Chuma remains in hiding with his family, has applied for a U visa, and the incident has led to an agent’s reassignment as investigators reassess what happened.
