Two U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents who fired during the Jan. 24, 2026, confrontation that killed 37‑year‑old ICU nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis have been placed on administrative leave, Fox News reports. DHS said the move is standard procedure and not an implication of misconduct; agents will be removed from field duty while investigations proceed. Video of the altercation has raised questions about the initial DHS characterization and whether an accidental discharge or multiple shooters were involved. Local and federal probes are ongoing as lawmakers and protesters react to the second fatal federal shooting in Minneapolis this month nationwide. (foxnews.com)
