US EditionLegal Expert Weighs in on Court Battle over Evidence in Alex Pretti Shooting Investigation
Paul Perez, National Border Patrol Council president, defends agents’ split-second decisions and training amid public scrutiny of the Alex Pretti shooting videos.
- On Monday, Paul Perez, president of the National Border Patrol Council, defended Border Patrol agents on Fox's The Story after video circulated of Alex Pretti's killing last weekend in Minneapolis.

- The White House sent Tom Homan to oversee operations in Minneapolis, indicating heightened federal oversight as President Donald Trump reviews the case and Minnesota state officials discuss reducing federal agents.
