- Hennepin County Attorney’s Office is criminally investigating at least 17 incidents from the Trump administration’s surge in Minneapolis.
- The investigation focuses on accusations of unlawfully targeting immigrants and citizens, and violent clashes with protesters, including Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino reportedly lobbing a smoke canister into a crowd.
- Among the incidents under review are the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good by Border Patrol agents, none of whom have been criminally charged.
- Bovino, who led operations in several Democratic-led states, was reportedly pulled from Minnesota after the fatal shootings and had a controversial Chicago operation marked by lawsuits and allegations of violent force.
- The administration has formally blocked state law enforcement from accessing information or evidence in the case of Alex Pretti’s death, while Hennepin County officials opened a public evidence-collection portal.
