Trump Admin Turns Over Evidence in ICE Killings of Two US Citizens
The Trump administration has released withheld evidence to Minneapolis prosecutors regarding the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by immigration agents in January. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty announced the handover of body camera videos, digital evidence, and Good's bullet-damaged car after months of legal disputes. Good was shot by an ICE agent on January 7, and Pretti was killed by Border Patrol agents on January 24 during protests; both were US citizens. A Venezuelan man, Julio Sosa-Celis, was also wounded on January 14. Moriarty has charged ICE agent Christian Castro with assault in that case. The evidence was provided following discussions with the US Attorney's office and FBI in Minneapolis.
