U.S. Customs and Border Protection has a formal use-of-force policy, which states that when CBP agents use deadly force, “the officer/agent shall … be placed on Administrative Leave.”

So it came as something of a surprise when Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino held a press conference the day after federal immigration officers shot and killed Alex Pretti and said that those who pulled the trigger are still on the job.

When a reporter asked specifically whether those agents are “working right now,” Bovino replied, “All agents that were involved in that scene are working, not in Minneapolis, but in other locations.”
