Minnesota prosecutor opens review of federal immigration crackdown, launches public evidence portal

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty is leading a probe into more than a dozen incidents tied to Operation Metro Surge, including actions by Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino, via the Transparency and Accountability Project. The team has created a public portal for residents to submit evidence as 17 incidents are reviewed to determine if any laws were broken. The crackdown drew thousands of federal agents, coincided with fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, and the county is fighting in court for access to evidence from Pretti’s death. The effort emphasizes pursuing charges where warranted and telling victims’ stories, with DHS comment sought.
