A federal judge in Minnesota has ordered the Trump administration to preserve all evidence connected to the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis man by a Border Patrol agent, blocking any destruction or alteration of materials tied to the incident.


The order follows a lawsuit filed Saturday by the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension after federal authorities allegedly prevented state investigators from accessing evidence connected to the death of 37-year-old Alex Pretti. Pretti was killed during an immigration enforcement operation in south Minneapolis.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, Pretti approached Border Patrol agents armed with a 9mm handgun and “violently resisted” when agents attempted to disarm him. He was shot during the encounter and pronounced dead at the scene despite emergency medical efforts.

The lawsuit names multiple federal agencies — including DHS, ICE, Customs and Border Protection, and U.S. Border Control — along with Attorney General Pam Bondi, as defendants. It seeks to prevent federal officials from destroying or withholding any evidence collected at the scene.

U.S. District Judge Eric Tostrud granted a temporary restraining order, ruling that federal officials and anyone acting on their behalf may not destroy evidence currently in their possession. He also scheduled a hearing for Monday to review the order and consider next steps.

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said her office will pursue a full criminal review of the incident and emphasized that transparency is non-negotiable. She said the lawsuit is only one step in a broader effort to ensure accountability.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison echoed that message, saying federal agents are not above the law and that state investigators must be given full access to all evidence. He said a thorough, impartial investigation is required and vowed that justice will be pursued.


Ellison also criticized the broader federal operation under which the shooting occurred, describing it as unconstitutional and accusing it of causing fear and violence in local communities. He said his office will argue in court to bring the operation to an end.

The Department of Homeland Security has said it is leading its own investigation into the shooting. Federal officials have not yet publicly responded to the court order or the lawsuit.

Pretti, a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs ICU nurse, has been identified by local officials as a respected healthcare worker. His death has intensified tensions between state officials and the Trump administration over immigration enforcement tactics and federal authority.

lol, This was very important. Why? Because without the judge's order we all know that it's standard practice to destroy evidence.

Every libtard judge in America is desperate for attention, they are jealous of every other idiot that gets in the news, so they are getting more and more desperate to find reasons to get their 15 minutes of fame and to get on the cocktail party invite list as the latest judicial hero. This one has got to be in the top 10 dumbest orders ever list suitable for a comedy show like 'Dumbest Criminals', now we need, 'Insane Judges and the Crazy Stuff They Do.' There's plenty of new content out there.

So they will say it was too late, all evidence was incinerated.

Yeah dude, cause they already destroyed a bunch of evidence like the video probably, lol. You people are such desperately mentally ill morons. What do you think they've destroyed? Seriously, do you even give a moments thought to the shit you believe?

How much of it already destroyed?

Nothing says guilty like destroying evidence.

Likely none. This is just a typical ploy by a Progressive judge going on a fishing expedition.

Tostrud--a somewhat apropos name with a small change in pronunciation--who prior to his appointment was an academic and had only practiced corporate law seems somewhat unfit to be dealing with serious criminal law suddenly.

Why would the trump administration try to cover anything up. His mouthpiece, Todd Blanche says the trump administration is the "most transparent in history". SO transparent that they hung on to all the Epstein docs over a month after they were mandated to be released by law. So the trump administration is in violation of the law again.

The evidence was not collected and stored in a good manner, so some of the evidence was destroyed by that. Pretti's wallet is missing, with the best explanation being that it was lost by ICE.

A court order not to destroy the evidence is the first step in demanding the evidence be turned over to law enforcement.

What would Pretti's wallet contribute to an investigation of his death? Just curious. I'm not saying it shouldn't have been retained, just I can't see it being relevant in any way to the investigation.

Walt, I have little faith today in our legal system doing anything right or serving justice when politics are involved.

As with all evidence, I have no idea. You get the evidence, and then let it guide you.

Does his cell phone still exist? That would contain the video he was taking of the killing.

And that is where you are wrong. It is important to preserve EVERYTHING possible at the beginning, and then analyze it finding important information.

Jesus you've gotten stupid, Traitor Terry. You and your fellow morons have been screaming for days that Pretti didn't have proper ID on him for legally carrying a firearm. In addition to supporting your Mammon King about banning guns, you're now claiming the ID doesn't matter since it appears Trump's thugs, terrorists, and traitors destroyed evidence.
