Border Patrol agents involved in shooting of Alex Pretti were wearing body cameras, DHS says

Body camera footage from multiple angles is under review in the fatal Minneapolis Border Patrol shooting, marking the city’s second federal officer-involved death this month.

  • On Jan. 26, 2026 investigators are reviewing body‑worn camera footage of the fatal shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson confirmed.
  • A Border Patrol agent shot Alex Jeffrey Pretti on Saturday in Minneapolis, the city's second federal‑officer fatality this month, and Customs and Border Protection officers were wearing body cameras, officials said.
  • Video shows the encounter from body cameras and bystanders, with officials confirming footage from multiple angles and eyewitness videos circulating widely on social media.
  • Officials pledged that all video will be reviewed, with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem saying `every video will be analyzed, everything will be looked at`.
  • CBP and ICE have different body‑camera practices, with CBP officers generally wearing them while ICE's use varies; U.S. Rep. Betty McCollum criticized agents who `refuse to wear them` and noted ICE officer Jonathan Ross recorded a prior killing on his phone almost three weeks ago.
