Two U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents who fired their weapons during a deadly confrontation with Alex Pretti have been placed on administrative leave, Fox News has learned.
A card with images of Renée Good and Alex Pretti lies among flowers and other mementos at a memorial in Minneapolis, Minn., on Jan. 27, 2026. On Jan. 24, federal agents shot and killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse, while scuffling with him on an icy roadway in Minneapolis, less than three weeks after an immigration officer fired on Renee Good, also 37, killing her in her car. The fatal shootings has reignited accusations that federal agents enforcing US President Donald Trump’s militarized immigration crackdown are inexperienced, under-trained and operating outside law enforcement norms.

The move is standard procedure and should not be viewed as any suspicion of wrongdoing the Department of Homeland Security said. The agents are no longer on field duty, for now.
