https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/top-border-patrol-official-other-federal-agents-being-investigated-by-2026-03-02/March 2 (Reuters) - A Minnesota prosecutor on Monday said her office is investigating the "potentially unlawful behavior" of federal agents during a crackdown earlier this year on undocumented immigrants that met widespread resistance and in which agents shot and killed two U.S. citizens, sparking nationwide outrage.Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, whose jurisdiction includes Minneapolis, said at a press conference that her office had created a portal that would allow the public to send in videos and other evidence of incidents they witnessed in which they think Gregory Bovino, who once called himself the "commander at large" of the U.S. Border Patrol, and other federal agents committed a crime."We will investigate and pursue charging where appropriate, and we’ll seek collaboration with local law enforcement wherever and whenever needed," Moriarty said. "Make no mistake, we are not afraid of any legal fight."While acknowledging the difficulty of successfully prosecuting federal agents, who enjoy strong legal protections against being charged for their actions, and saying that the federal government had not provided any information to her office, Moriarty added: "There is no absolute immunity for federal agents."
While acknowledging the difficulty of successfully prosecuting federal agents, who enjoy strong legal protections against being charged for their actions, and saying that the federal government had not provided any information to her office, Moriarty added: "There is no absolute immunity for federal agents."The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees Border Patrol and ICE, said in a written statement that investigating federal officers "does nothing to make Minnesota safer.""Politicians are laying blame at the feet of law enforcement instead of looking in the mirror at how they have fueled the hatred and violent attacks we are seeing against federal law enforcement officers," a DHS spokesperson wrote in an emailed reply, noting that assaults, vehicular attacks and death threats against federal immigration agents had spiked in the past year.DHS added that "federal officials acting in the course of their duties are immune from liability under state law."Moriarty's office earlier had established similar portals to collect evidence from the public about the shooting deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, who were killed by federal agents during Operation Metro Surge. She said that investigations into their deaths are ongoing.The immigration enforcement surge began in early December. After the shootings of Good and Pretti, President Donald Trump's Border czar, Tom Homan, took over the operation in late January from Bovino, who has drawn heavy criticism from Democrats and civil liberties proponents for his handling of crackdowns in Minnesota and elsewhere in the U.S.
PRESIDENTIAL PARDON TRUMPS MINNESOTA KARENS CHIMPOUTHER NAME IS MORIARTY NO SHIT SHES A VILLAIN
In January the Atlantic, citing a Homeland Security official and two people with knowledge of the change, reported that Bovino had been removed from his roving role and was to return to his former job as a Border Patrol sector chief in El Centro, California. Neither the White House nor the Department of Homeland Security has responded to requests for comment on Bovino's current role.Bovino has repeatedly defended the tactics of federal immigration agents in Minneapolis, arguing that they were facing an angry public on the streets that he said interfered with their attempts at immigration enforcement.Homan held talks with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and set a less confrontational tone. In February, Homan announced that he was sending home thousands of agents, though he said immigration enforcement would continue.
>>1493561AINT NOBODY GNA READ ALLAT
Trump's just going to pardon anyone who gets convicted he already did it for the rioters
>>1493571The president can't pardon people convicted of state crimes. Trump tried to pardon the election denier lady in Colorado and they laughed at him.
>>1493575Good thing they didn't do any criminal acts then isn't it
>>1493575https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/minnesota-governor-tim-walz-will-never-seek-elected-office-again-rcna256424Isn't the Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz facing charges?Maybe Trump can pardon Tim Walz in exchange for Tim Walz pardoning any state level charges in Minnesota
>>1493558>opened AN INVESTIGATIONWow! And I'm sure this will change... uh... err.. huuhh.... UMMMM... IT WILL CHANGE A WHOLE LOT Unless the clowns get their badges removed and thrown in the slammer the same week it happened, then it's worth less than toilet paper. Who's going to testify? People who were removed from the country, or protestors who were held down and shot in the back of the head? Nothing is going to happen.
>>1493577Except for those two innocent Americans they murdered and smeared, and all the civil rights violations.
>>1493577Good thing you aren't a prosecutor
>>1493578No.>>1493582There were hundreds of witnesses. What are you talking about?
>>1493605So why is Tim Walz deciding to never seek elected office again after the Minnesota welfare fraud came to light if he did nothing wrong?
>>1493608what "fraud" did nick shirley discover?
>>1493608Because he got sick of campaigning. The "welfare fraud" claim never went anywhere beyond justifying sending ICE in to brutalize the voters for Trump's critics.
>>1493558Ok keep us posted
>>1493613Fraudulent businesses.https://nypost.com/2026/01/08/us-news/minnesotas-infamous-quality-learing-center-is-now-closed-records-show/https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/trump-administration-halts-minnesota-medicaid-funds-over-fraud-allegationsVice President JD Vance announced that the federal government would withhold $259 million in Medicaid funding for Minnesota due to concerns about fraud.
>>1493601Those "innocent" Americans would be in jail today if they survived their attempts to assault LEO we back the blue in this country
>>1493619lol all the incidents where ICE shot someone that survived got found innocent afterwards. And ICE got caught lying under oath about why they had to shoot,
>>1493629Awesome how long were the agents jailed for
>>1493618Proof? No, tabloid bullshit and the executive illegally withholding funds over allegations and concerns is not proof.
>>1493636There's a lot of proof in Nick Shirley's videos. Just watch themhttps://youtu.be/r8AulCA1aOQ?t=429He details how these fraudulent childcares can recieve millions in government funds without having any kidshttps://youtu.be/zF2a3aTfA9w?t=484In the follow up video he details how these transportation companies were part of the fraud scheme, delivering fake kids to fake daycares. He goes to the address listed on government forms which detail how they recieve 6-7 figures in government money, he goes to the locations listed, and finds that there are no transportation companies at these listed addresses
>>1493639You mean the videos that got debunked because he just went when they weren't operating? Or cited previous daycares at the same location that weren't present on the loan list?Shirley is a clickbaiter and a loser. His claims don't hold up in court and the fact ANYONE used them as justification is embarrassing.
>>1493644Why were all the daycares closed during the day?If you watch the video they are all filmed during the day time, at a time when the sun set at 4:45pm in Minnesota.Anyways he addressed this, while there was an online posting which said that the quality learing center was actually open until 11pm, that argument fell apart as the daycare wasn't legally allowed to be operating during their stated hourshttps://nypost.com/2026/01/08/us-news/minnesotas-infamous-quality-learing-center-is-now-closed-records-show/If they weren't doing anything wrong why did they shut down immediately after he brought them to light?
>>1493644https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldF40H8TN5QDeputy Secretary Jim Oneail from the HHS (Health and Human Services) shut down payments to Minnesota after seeing Nick Shirley's video.https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c75xnndvlykoIn a post on X on Tuesday, a top official with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) cited the viral video, and said the agency would target "blatant fraud that seems to be rampant in Minnesota".State officials have pushed back against allegations of fraud in the video.Immigration enforcement has recently ramped up in the state, home to the largest population of Somali immigrants in the US, after President Donald Trump said he didn't want them in the country."We have frozen all child care payments to the state of Minnesota," HHS Deputy Secretary Jim O'Neill announced in an X post on Tuesday.He said this decision comes amid "serious allegations that the state of Minnesota has funneled millions of taxpayer dollars to fraudulent daycares across Minnesota over the past decade".The department said it would suspend the annual payment of $185m (£137m) to the state, pending a full review of the centres in question.
>>1493639>Just watch the "there is no war in Ukraine" guy's videos, trust me bro.Nah, I'm good.
>>1493651>If you watch the video they are all filmed during the day time, at a time when the sun set at 4:45pm in Minnesota.They were open 2pm-10pm. He went at 11 in the morning.>If they weren't doing anything wrong why did they shut down immediately after he brought them to light?You can't operate a daycare when there are swarms of right wing retards trying to get a piece of the grifter pie and terrorizing the kids there. No parent is gonna drop their kids off where influencers swarm to make clickbait, and it wasn't like they were a particularly popular or even good daycare in the first place.
>>1493654Yeah Trump's admin using the bullshit to justify CUTTING CHILDCARE TO THE ENTIRE STATE doesn't make them true. Notice how there's been near zero follow up after they used it as a justification to send ICE to tear through the state.
>>1493660What evidence is there that their hours were 2-10pm?It seems like those stated hours only came out after his video as a defense, and if you watch the video there is no sign saying their hours are 2-10pmhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8AulCA1aOQ&t
>>1493663>and if you watch the video there is no sign saying their hours are 2-10pmWas there a sign saying otherwise? Do you have any evidence that's not the case? Notice how Shirley didn't include any actual times in his video.
>>1493558>her office had created a portal that would allow the public to send in videos and other evidence of incidents they witnessed in which they think federal agents committed a crimeLmao they don't even have any evidence to go after them with so they're begging for it from the publicIt would be a shame if someone spammed that portal with a bunch of AI ICE agent attacks so that the entire cache got discredited
>>1493663>if you watch the video there is no sign saying their hours are 2-10pmJesus christ.
>>1493666Is there proof you're not a shill/agent of satan?
>>1493667They don't have evidence because the FBI and DoJ are actively withholding evidence and not allowing state officials to collect any.
>>1493654Oh man, if the NYPost is saying it, it must be an obvious lie to prop up a corrupt GOP candidateIts good to know there is no fraud going on
>>1493666Minnesota rules for providers receiving public child care assistance funds generally require them to operate during “normal business hours”—typically documented on licensing records or program guidelines as something like 6 a.m.–6 p.mhttps://youtu.be/r8AulCA1aOQ?t=519Right here he visits a childcare with hours from 7am to 10pm, it is 10am in the video, and nobody is there, all the windows are blacked out
>>1493671Everyone has a phone these daysIf it was happening, someone would be filming it just like the lady that tried to run someone over or the guy who got shot attacking the SUV the week before he got shotI've seen plenty of ice action filmed by the public, and I've seen zero crimes committed by agents
>>1493675Are you disputing the NYPost article?Do you think the Quality Learing Center is still operating?
>>1493678>Minnesota rules for providers receiving public child care assistance funds generally require them to operate during “normal business hours”—typically documented on licensing records or program guidelines as something like 6 a.m.–6 p.m2pm-10pm is normal business hours.The place he's visiting in the timestamp you posted, Mako Childcare, was confirmed to have gone out of business and closed down in 2022. It was not listed among recipients of state funding. You literally just posted a prime example of a claim he makes in this video that got completely debunked.
>>1493681>NYPostThey make up stuff wholesale and ignore everything after the lies come outhttps://www.mediaite.com/media/tv/homeless-vets-story-eaten-up-by-fox-news-turns-out-to-be-spectacularly-false/Its basically just lies to capture low IQ morons and provide something for shills like you to spread our for more low IQ morons
>>14936320 days they got off completely free
>>1493685>Some bitch lied and paid homeless people to lie too. Your link explains it all if you took the time to read more than the headline>The Mid-Hudson News — kudos to this local paper for some tremendous coverage on this story, by the way — reported on Friday morning that seven homeless men had come forward to reveal that Finch approached them at a shelter this week, offering to pay them in cash, food, and alcohol to pretend that they were veterans who had been kicked out of the hotels to make way for migrants.>The New York Post followed up with a report on their story falling apart. An editor’s note has been affixed to the original front-page story. It reads: “This non-profit CEO has since been accused of misrepresenting the veterans who have been displaced for migrants.”All of this is from the same link you shared. Get cucked
>>1493685Didn't NYPost break the Hunter Biden Laptop story?Was that real or fake?

>dude, NYPost was good back in the 1800slmaoliterally the best the shill can do
>>1493729Good would have 100000% been charged.Pretti would be charged if they connected him to the video of him kicking and spitting at agents the week prior to him being shot, but they might not have connected those dots until he became famous
>>1493757You clearly trust some media, since you're laying into the post so hard. Which news has your patronage?
>>1493760The owner of the NYPost had to pay millions of dollars after admitting that they deliberately spread lies to con gullible rubesSo are you a moron, or cuck?
>>1493761he's esl shill, he's a special breed of useless retard
>>1493761Ok then I guess the post is bad. Which news do you trust? Don't be a coward and dodge a direct question twice now, people will start to think you're sus
>>1493776do you really have a humiliation fetish?
>>1493776>Ok then I guess the post is badMore cuck than moron then?
>>1493777>>1493782Which news media do you read? Third time I've asked, here's hoping you won't be cowardly thriceDont be scared here I'll go first. I use ap news, bbc, and ground need for my basic domestic coverage. For international coverage in nations which don't have freedom of the press I tend to look at 1. State sponsored media 2. Media the state is trying to suppress
>>1493812which non-shill job can you hold? none of them?
>>1493812Ground news*I also scan RSS feeds and summaries like RCP and WTFJHT C'mon now don't be shy. What's your list?
>>1493814nobody respects you enough to have a conversation with you
>>1493816Respect isn't a prerequisite or we wouldn't be interacting Youre happy to dump on one media outlet but scared to share which ones you read
>>1493817god you're esl
>>1493821Weird that they're trying to ball wash the NYPost but don't have it on their list of news sites they think libs read, or are pretending to readIt just reinforces the cuckiness of everything they do.
>>1493821Fine, keep your secrets. Repetition bores me and all you can bark is "esl" against someone who is rhetorically running circles around you. Shit on the post all you want, it's a rag. At least anon was brave enough to show us his sources
>>1493824you think pestering people with boring questions is "running rhetorical circles"? i see why you have no friends anon
>>1493825Now that I know you are not interested in asking the question, I'll stop asking which news you patronize. My interest was sincere, but has since waned. Thanks for giving me the power to upset you <3
>>1493827you're projecting again
>>1493827>NYPost
>>1493816What is the point of talking with someone for hours if this is what you are going to say?
>>1493558>Mary Moriarty>Turbodyke activisthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_MoriartyWhy are they always fags?
>>1494033Nta. Epicaricacy. I enjoyed his flameout, even if I never got an answer to my question.Thanks but I don't need your help.
>>1494060Your tried to divert from the thread topic but you failed. Bovino is likely going to jail.
>>1494065I'll believe it when I see it. The rule of law is dead.
>>1494065Keep me posted
>>1494065>Your tried esl
>>1493758And just like all the other people ICE attempted to murder, who survived the attempt, and then they still tried to prosecute their victims, the charges would have been dropped. The video footage doesn't lie, they were both murders.
>>1494075Reminder Noem completely reversed course while under oath and referred to both deaths as tragedies while trying to avoid saying they were terrorists like she did in her initial reactions.
>>1494075The State has a monopoly on legitimate violence.
