CBP Delivers Self-Answered Q&A to Congress on Minneapolis Shooting

CBP sent Congress a self-drafted Q&A about the January 24 fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, answering some questions and deferring others to DHS and investigating agencies, as lawmakers pressed for a mandated death notification. The move followed criticism over lack of transparency, and the agency later provided the death-in-custody report detailing the sequence of events, including OC spray deployment and agents’ gunfire, in a context of broader calls to reform DHS use-of-force policies.
