The parents of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old nurse who was killed by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis earlier this year, accused federal officials of stonewalling them and shielding their son's killers, according to a report by The Guardian.
The accusations were made during a press conference on Tuesday, when Michael and Susan Pretti spoke about their effort to seek justice for their son. The Guardian's summary says the couple described themselves as having been "ignored and misled" in that quest.
The Guardian's summary describes the killing as one carried out by US agents in Minneapolis, and it says the parents' accusations are directed at federal officials. The summary does not describe the parents' dealings with any other level of government.
Several points remain unclear from the available reporting. The summary does not name the officials the parents criticized, does not list the specific steps they say were taken or withheld, and does not include any response from federal officials. It also does not say whether any agent has been charged or what investigation, if any, is underway. The summary is cut off before it reaches further detail, and this report does not supply what it leaves out.
The Guardian's report was written by Dani Anguiano. The claims made at the press conference are the parents' own, and they are reported here as their account rather than as established findings.
