Federal immigration agents deployed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, will soon receive body cameras, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced. The move follows public outcry over the deaths of two U.S. citizens, Alex Pretti and Renee Good, during recent immigration enforcement actions in the area. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem stated on social media, Effective immediately we are deploying body cameras to every officer in the field in Minneapolis. This announcement comes after the Hennepin County Medical Examiner ruled Pretti's death a homicide, stating he suffered multiple gunshot wounds from law enforcement officers. The agents involved were on duty with body cameras at the time. The U.S. Department of Justice has begun a civil rights investigation into the incident. In response to the fatal incidents, local officials, including Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Michael Frey, called for a reduction of federal presence in the area. Following these events, the Trump administration has reassigned officials and indicated that the body camera program could expand nationwide once funding is secured.
