The federal officers involved in the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis have been publicly identified, despite earlier attempts by the Trump administration to keep their identities confidential.
According to reports from ProPublica, the two officers who fired their weapons were Jesus Ochoa, 43, and Raymundo Gutierrez, 35. Both were part of a federal unit deployed in Minneapolis during a period of unrest and heightened immigration enforcement.
The officers were assigned to Operation Metro Surge, a federal initiative to increase law enforcement presence in the city. Following the incident, both were placed on administrative leave.
The Trump administration and U.S. Customs and Border Protection had initially resisted releasing their names, citing safety concerns. However, public records and internal sources confirmed their identities.
The disclosure comes amid ongoing criticism over federal enforcement tactics in Minneapolis and renewed debates over the use of force by federal officers. The shooting has sparked public protests and calls for independent investigation.
