  1. Just in: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez. 

  2. Did I miss it in the article, but how did ProPublica get their names if CBP refused to release their names?

  3. Surprise: “By the time the couple split in 2021, he had become a gun enthusiast with about 25 rifles, pistols and shotguns, Angelica Ochoa said.”

    Both long time employees. 

    Additional training won’t help. 

    Abolish ICE, abolish border patrol death squads.

    The identity drop is a distraction.

    Naming the agents doesn’t fix the fact that federal immigration policing turned a Minneapolis street into a battlefield, and everybody knows full facts are still behind closed doors. It’s like saying “here are the names” while watching the evidence pile get buried in bureaucracy.

    This is what accountability looks like in a system that protects its own.

  6. *A longtime resident of the Rio Grande Valley, Ochoa had for years dreamed of working for the Border Patrol*

    If your dream is to work for the border patrol, then you are probably a nightmare.

  7. Ochoa and Guttierez (sp) are two people who think they are two of the “good ones” who won’t be affected by the actions of their agency.

  8. So an experienced officer waited until another officer had already shot several times and then decided to finally, and rsther casually pull and fire into a dead man.   I just feel like that’s a detail that keeps getting under discussed.  He waited an egregiously long time to feel like his life was at stake.

    They swapped out Bovino for Homan thinking that would appease us. It hasn’t. Now they think giving names will appease us. It won’t. They must face the MN justice system. But even that will not stop the opposition. The entire system must be defunded and dismantled.

  10. >Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez

    >Ochoa is a Border Patrol agent who joined CBP in 2018. Gutierrez joined in 2014 and works for CBP’s Office of Field Operations. He is assigned to a special response team, which conducts high-risk operations like those of police SWAT units. Records show both men are from South Texas.

    >Ochoa, who goes by Jesse, graduated from the University of Texas-Pan American with a degree in criminal justice, according to his ex-wife, Angelica Ochoa. A longtime resident of the Rio Grande Valley, Ochoa had for years dreamed of working for the Border Patrol and finally landed a job there, she said. By the time the couple split in 2021, he had become a gun enthusiast with about 25 rifles, pistols and shotguns, Angelica Ochoa said.

    Oh lordt, MAGA getting ready to have a field day with this. Two Latinos shot and killed a white man!!?!

    watch the switchup!

  12. they should familiarize themselves with the fate of french collaborators during ww11

    “Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.”

  13. Those names don’t exactly fit the description of “Heritage Americans” Trump and Miller might hang them out to dry.

    Imagine that. People with Hispanic names murdering white guys while in pursuit of random people with Hispanic names. Now the masks make more sense. Or this is utter bs like everything else the billionaires keep coming out with.

  15. PolloConTeriyaki on

    Hey ICE. Just remember that come midterms all your names are gonna come out. I hope they come after your jobs and your pensions.

  16. As a Latino male who is disgusted by the significant portion of our community that voted for Trump, I am not at all surprised by these names.

    A reckoning is coming to this country. These racists don’t care if you think you’re ‘one of the good ones’, in the eyes of white supremacists, you aren’t white. No matter how many times you vote Republican, they despise everything you represent.

    History is never kind to those who betray their own to appease fascists. Even if you help subjugate your own community, remember, you’ll be next.

    So Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez murdered Alex Pretti? So two people of Hispanic ethnicity, who were going against and tormenting their own people for money, murdered an American citizen for helping a woman up. These are quite impressively monstrous individuals. 

  18. It’s ironic (?), the names, and given the context of this …

    The two federal .**immigration** agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent **Jesus Ochoa**and Customs and Border Protection officer **Raymundo Gutierrez**.

    “Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.”

    Jesus doesn’t sound like a very ICE approved name. Traitors.

  20. Every ounce of suffering and loss these two freaks have experienced in their sad, pathetic lives is and will continue to be deserved

  21. While I’m not surprised that the murderers would be Hispanic/brown/non-white since plenty of them are suited up with the rest of the klan, I am wondering one thing. Are these two guys being “sacrificed” precisely because they are minorities? MAGA’s whole thing is assuming that brown people are criminals. I see this as a way to mollify MAGA members who didn’t like a public execution and don’t like the dismissal of 2A but would have no problem pinning everything on the brown guys.
