"Federal authorities have sought to portray Good, Pretti and Sosa-Celis as aggressors who attacked immigration officers, forcing them to open fire in defense. But videos since released of all three incidents have cast doubt on those official accounts."
"Justice Department officials, meanwhile, have been reluctant to open investigations into the deaths of Pretti and Good. The FBI's Minnesota field office initially opened a civil rights probe of Good's shooting before reversing course under orders from Washington."
Minnesota officials filed a lawsuit against the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security, seeking evidence related to three shootings by federal officers during immigration enforcement. Two victims, Renée Good and Alex Pretti, were killed, while Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis was wounded. Federal authorities have portrayed the victims as aggressors, but released videos challenge these claims. Investigations into the officers involved have been inconsistent, with reluctance from the Justice Department to probe the deaths of Good and Pretti, despite public outcry for accountability.
