Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez are both officers with Customs and Border Protection, ProPublica reports

Government documents have identified the two federal officers who fatally shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis as Jesus Ochoa, a border patrol agent, and Raymundo Gutierrez, an officer with Customs and Border Protection (CBP), according to ProPublica.

According to those records, Ochoa, 43, and Gutierrez, 35, were the agents who fired their weapons during the confrontation last weekend that resulted in Pretti’s death.

The shooting sparked widespread demonstrations and renewed demands for criminal inquiries into federal immigration enforcement actions. Immediately following Pretti’s killing, the Trump administration repeatedly pushed false claims about the shooting.

    All of which is to say: There is a reason only the most privileged of white folk were shocked when Male Hispanic voters made up such a large part of fuckface’s base.

    OOOohh, Jesus Christ. Quit with the divisive gatekeeping.

      … I don’t think you understand what “gatekeeping” means…

      Unless your point is that you are angry your socioeconomic group isn’t getting credit for being an even bigger part of fuckface’s reelection? Or that you aren’t viewed as privileged enough to be THAT naive?

      Aside from that: I think there is a lot of value in understanding the demographics and the reason behind our christofacist regime. Because… only the most privileged of white folk THINK they can ignore it.

      Especially when said demographics and understanding explain why two of the most famous murderers in the country AREN’T white.
