U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers deployed in Minnesota have been ordered to avoid engaging with “agitators”, Reuters reported Wednesday, as new videos emerged showing Alex Pretti’s clash with federal immigration agents 11 days before he was shot and killed by Border Patrol.
Reuters reported that the new internal guidance outlines changes to how the Trump administration’s immigration operations in Minnesota will change after two U.S. citizens were shot and killed by federal agents.
An email outlining the guidance reportedly urged officers, “DO NOT COMMUNICATE OR ENGAGE WITH AGITATORS,” noting that this “serves no purpose other than inflaming the situation.”
