The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

The records viewed by ProPublica list Ochoa, 43, and Gutierrez, 35, as the shooters during the deadly encounter last weekend that left Pretti dead and ignited massive protests and calls for criminal investigations.

Both men were assigned to Operation Metro Surge, an immigration enforcement dragnet launched in December that sent scores of armed and masked agents across the city.

CBP, which employs both men, has so far refused to release their names and has disclosed few other facts about the deadly incident, which came days after a different immigration agent shot and killed another Minneapolis protester, a 37-year-old mother of three named Renee Good.

There were many more than just 2 of these goons on the scene.

Also: those don't sound like murican names to me. I wonder if these guys are students of history. Do they think Stephen Miller won't eventually get to the point of having these two deported, as well? We are only a year into this shit and they are already murdering white people that show any contrarian views of the plot for mass deportation. Where do they think all this stuff leads if it is followed to its insane conclusion?

Stephen Miller is just another useful idiot, himself. He’s Jewish, and is going to get purged when the Christian nationalists are done using Trump.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Yeah, Stephen Miller seems to be studiously ignoring virtually all of history on such things. You might want to jump on the leading edge and be the vanguard of something, but it seems that they get to the arresting and killing of Jews very early into the awfulness, whether it was something like the Russian revolution or the Nazi regime.

Just why Stephen Miller apparently imagines following his awful campaign would end any different this time just boggles the mind. One could easily imagine a scenario where a truly awful turd like Bannon (or that fake "doctor" Gorka, etc.) is brought in after Stephen Miller is arrested on some fake charges involving not being sufficiently loyal enough to Taco or his offspring or to James Bowman...

I don’t suppose Stephen Miller is impeachable? This is his direct work, at this point.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

I'm unsure, but if not, I'd love to see someone find a way to arrest his dumb ass.

Knowing this administration, they may be giving us a red herring.

I’m sure some rope and a hammer will get the rest of the names
