EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Parents of a US citizen killed by federal agents accuse the DOJ of violating victims' rights laws and withholding crucial evidence in Minnesota.
The parents of Alex Pretti, a US citizen shot and killed by immigration agents in Minneapolis in January, are accusing the Department of Justice of violating their rights under a federal victims’ rights law, as they demand transparency and justice in their son’s death.
In a July letter to Attorney General Todd Blanche — obtained exclusively by CNN — an attorney representing Michael and Susan Pretti wrote they have not received any substantive updates from the DOJ regarding an investigation into their son’s death, and called the department’s attitude toward the case “cruel.”
