When Congress pressed CBP for a report on Pretti’s killing, it offered answers to a list of questions. CBP also supplied the questions itself.
Asked for a response to the killing of a VA nurse, the secretary of Veterans Affairs shifted the blame to local officials.
The killing marked the second fatal shooting by federal agents in the city in less than a month. Neither victim appeared to be the target of immigration enforcement.

The War on Immigrants
The shooting came just one day after an ICE agent in Minneapolis shot and killed Renee Nicole Good.
Identifying the shooter in Minneapolis, The Intercept found a photo captioned “Jon Ross in Iraq” posted by a man noted in public records as his father.
Video from the scene of the Minnesota ICE shooting contradicts DHS’s narrative that locals were rioting and threatening agents’ lives.
