En los momentos caóticos previos a la muerte de Alex Pretti el sábado, las acciones agresivas de dos agentes federales transformaron el encuentro en un tiroteo mortal, según revela un análisis de CNN de los videos disponibles.

Mientras otros agentes ayudaban a someter a Pretti en una calle de Minneapolis y retiraban una pistola que llevaba sen la cintura, el video muestra que estos agentes escalaron de manera significativa la confrontación: primero, rociaron gas pimienta y golpearon repetidamente a Pretti en el rostro y la cabeza; después, desenfundaron sus armas y le dispararon, incluso cuando ya se encontraba en el suelo y desarmado.

La conducta de ambos agentes, desde los primeros momentos de interacción con los manifestantes hasta la decisión de sacar sus armas y disparar contra Pretti, ilustra los riesgos de inundar ciudades estadounidenses con agentes mal preparados para manejar protestas en entornos urbanos, dijeron expertos a CNN.

Mientras los departamentos de policía de grandes ciudades han adoptado una filosofía de calmar y desescalar los encuentros tensos con el público, los agentes de inmigración en Minneapolis hicieron lo contrario, hasta el momento de la muerte de Pretti.

“Las fuerzas del orden siempre deberían buscar desactivar la situación, desescalar los conflictos”, dijo Deborah Fleischaker, exjefa de gabinete del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE, por sus siglas en inglés). “En lugar de eso, se están inclinando por las formas en que pueden escalar”.

El análisis de CNN de los videos muestra que uno de los agentes disparó una ráfaga de balas contra el cuerpo ya incapacitado de Pretti, tras una breve pausa en el caos y después de que otros agentes se hubieran retirado.

Estos dos agentes parecen ser los identificados como los atacantes en un informe inicial del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS, por sus siglas en inglés) sobre el incidente. El DHS dijo que no divulgará las identidades de los agentes, quienes fueron puestos en licencia administrativa, un protocolo estándar cuando agentes participan en un tiroteo y el caso está bajo investigación.

Expertos en fuerzas del orden que revisaron los videos para CNN señalaron que el uso de fuerza letal por parte de los agentes probablemente se debió a una falta de capacitación o a una falla en seguirla durante el acalorado encuentro.

“Si tomas a personas que no están entrenadas o no tienen experiencia en una función específica y las pones a realizarla sin supervisión, no debería sorprender que las cosas salgan mal”, dijo Ashley Heiberger, capitana retirada de la policía de Pensilvania y experta en uso de la fuerza.

Un portavoz del DHS se negó a proporcionar detalles sobre la capacitación que recibieron estos dos agentes, pero afirmó: “Muchos de nuestros agentes tienen antecedentes militares o en fuerzas del orden, y los agentes de la Patrulla Fronteriza reciben una formación federal extensa… al igual que los agentes de ICE. Los intentos repugnantes de los medios por decir que estos agentes no están entrenados para hacer cumplir la ley son vergonzosos y risibles”.

En los minutos previos al encuentro, los videos muestran a agentes de inmigración patrullando una calle de Minneapolis e interactuando con transeúntes. Un testigo, Nilson Barahona, dijo a CNN que los agentes intentaban detener a una persona que huyó a una tienda de donas que cerró sus puertas, dejando al grupo de agentes federales en la calle. Los agentes detuvieron a un observador mientras otras personas hacían sonar silbatos, les gritaban y grababan con sus teléfonos.

Los dos agentes que protagonizaron el encuentro, uno con un gorro de invierno negro y otro con un gorro color café, aparecen caminando de un lado a otro en videos grabados por testigos. El agente con gorro negro parece agita

Trump sues IRS and Treasury Department for $10 billion over tax return leak

By Samantha Delouya, CNN

(CNN) — President Donald Trump is suing the US Internal Revenue Service and Treasury Department for at least $10 billion, accusing the agency of an unauthorized leak of his tax returns during his first administration.

The suit was filed on Thursday in federal court in Florida. Trump, who filed the suit alongside his sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, is suing the IRS and Treasury personally, not in his official capacity as president.

The lawsuit alleged that the government failed to protect Trump and the Trump Organization’s confidential tax information, which was leaked to the press by Charles Littlejohn, a former IRS contractor.

Littlejohn, who worked as a government contractor at Booz Allen Hamilton, illegally obtained and disclosed Trump’s tax returns to publications like the New York Times and ProPublica, the suit alleged.

CNN has reached out to the IRS, the Treasury Department and Booz Allen Hamilton for comment.

In 2024, Littlejohn was sentenced to five years in prison for disclosing thousands of tax returns without authorization – from Trump and thousands of other wealthy individuals.

Trump’s legal team alleged that the IRS is legally responsible for Littlejohn’s actions because he had “staff-like access to tax returns and confidential tax return information” and exploited longstanding security failures that the IRS had been warned about but had gone uncorrected.

“The IRS wrongly allowed a rogue, politically-motivated employee to leak private and confidential information about President Trump, his family, and the Trump Organization to the New York Times, ProPublica and other left-wing news outlets, which was then illegally released to millions of people. President Trump continues to hold those who wrong America and Americans accountable,” Trump’s legal team said in a statement.

Earlier this week, the Treasury Department cut ties with Booz Allen Hamilton, Littlejohn’s former employer, saying it would cancel $21 million in federal contracts.

A statement from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent at the time referenced Littlejohn as the reason for the decision, saying: “Booz Allen failed to implement adequate safeguards to protect sensitive data, including the confidential taxpayer information it had access to through its contracts with the Internal Revenue Service.”

During Trump’s first term, his refusal to release his tax returns, breaking a decades-long tradition for presidential candidates, became a focal point for critics. In 2022, six years of Trump’s tax returns were made public by the House Ways and Means Committee after a legal fight over their disclosure reached the Supreme Court.

This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
