US Edition60 Minutes Goes Hard At Trump Crackdown That Sparked Killings And Unrest
Sen. Rand Paul disputes official claims about two fatal shootings by federal officers and demands an independent investigation and public hearing to restore trust in immigration enforcement.
- Sunday's 60 Minutes segment scrutinized President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement in Minneapolis, challenging the administration's handling of federal actions, host Scott Pelley said.
- In separate January incidents, ICE agent Jonathan Ross fatally shot Renee Nicole Good in Minnesota, and ICE agent Jesus Ochoa and CBP officer Raymundo Gutierrez fatally shot Alex Pretti for carrying a licensed firearm.
- Investigators noted that the recording shows Alex Pretti retreating as agents advanced and a woman being pushed to the ground before he is grabbed, and Sam Trepel said the shooting lacked clear justification.
- Paul said he will hold a Minneapolis hearing later this month and called for an independent investigation into Alex Pretti's killing, citing noncooperation from Minneapolis officials.
- The U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division reported its investigation into Renee Good provided 'no basis,' and investigators told 60 Minutes that protocols were deviated from and federal exclusion of state investigators was unusual.
