#ProPublica reveals identities of masked killers of #AlexPretti as two #BorderPatrol agents from #TX.
"ProPublica is publishing the names of the two federal immigration agents involved in the fatal shooting of #Minnesota #protester Alex Pretti. We believe there are few investigations that deserve more sunlight and public scrutiny than this one, in which two masked agents fired 10 shots at Pretti as he lay on the ground after being pepper-sprayed.
The Department of #Justice said it is investigating the incident, but the names of the two agents have been withheld from Congress and from state and local law enforcement.
The policy of shielding officers’ identities, particularly after a public #shooting, is a stark departure from standard #LawEnforcement protocols, according to lawmakers, state attorneys general and former federal officials. Such #secrecy, in our view, deprives the public of the most fundamental tool for #accountability."
