Former Vice President Mike Pence called the killing of Alex Pretti by a Border Patrol agent in Minneapolis “deeply troubling” on Monday, becoming the latest Republican to break with the Trump administration in raising questions about the merits of the shooting.
Pence called the shooting “tragic” and said a “full and transparent investigation of this officer involved shooting must take place immediately.”
Pence is among a growing group of Republicans expressing unease with Pretti’s death as the Trump administration has demonized Pretti to defend the agent who shot him, claiming he posed an imminent danger to law enforcement.
