Customs and Border Protection agents involved in the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti have been placed on administrative leave, according to multiple outlets, taking an absence from their duties after Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino said Sunday they would continue their work in another city.
The move is standard protocol, according to an unnamed Department of Homeland Security official cited by The New York Times.
The two agents who fired their weapons were placed on leave, according to Fox News, which cited a DHS official who said administrative leave is not indicative of suspicion of wrongdoing.
