  1. "Alex Pretti had courage and all the things the myths and tales say men should aspire to. He had them because of his empathy, because of his ethic of care. His executioners had the performance of masculinity, the kind won by meting out violence and terrorising communities."

  2. "ProPublica is publishing the names of the two federal immigration agents involved in the fatal shooting of Minnesota protester Alex Pretti. We believe there are few investigations that deserve more sunlight and public scrutiny than this one, in which two masked agents fired 10 shots at Pretti as he lay on the ground after being pepper-sprayed."

  3. "Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, Mike Johnson — they’re not trying to keep their officers safe. As Phil Bump laid out the other day, that simply has not happened.

    They’re trying to hide how much even their deeply racist project is helpless without brown labor."

  4. "But there is accumulating evidence that a big reason these goons hide their faces is to hide that the white nationalist project Stephen Miller is pursuing — like virtually everything else in America — relies on brown people to do the hard work. Miller can only sustain the myth of white self-reliance by hiding the faces of those who murder white men at his behest in the streets of Blue cities."

  5. "There are a lot of reasons Stephen Miller’s goons wear masks. To terrify the communities they invade. To make it harder to shame them. To make it harder to tie them to other crimes they may have committed."

  6. As Fanon says, it is not uncommon for some members of oppressed minority communities to internalize the negative self-image imposed on them by their oppressors, and to turn against their own group to curry favor with their oppressors. This an old, sad dynamic, and not in the least surprising, given how recurrent it is.

  7. If a crab trapped with other crabs in a basket tries to claw its way out to freedom, they said, the other crabs will pull it back into the basket — doing the dirty work of the person who has trapped the crabs and intends to cook them.

    Franz Fanon analyzes the dynamics in his magisterial book Wretched of the earth.

  8. "But whiteness itself is confused and confusing. It’s not an existential truth; it’s a way to organize violence, hierarchy, and hate."

    In the years I spent teaching in historically Black colleges and universities, my students spoke to me of what they called the crabs-in-the-basket syndrome.

  9. Berlatsky writes,

    "Ochoa and Garcia are only the latest in a long line of people who have pledged themselves to white supremacy without being white—or who have become white(r) in part by pledging themselves to white supremacy. ...

    It may seem confused or confusing to say that two non-white men enforced white supremacy by murdering a white person."

  10. Noah Berlatsky notes that the federal agents who shot Alex Pretti have now been identified as Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez, and that right-wing memes are being produced now to claim that Trump's and Stephen Miller's ethnic cleansing agenda cannot be about white supremacy if Latinos participate in it.

    Two CBP Agents Identified in Alex Pretti Shooting

    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.

    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.

    The records viewed by ProPublica list Ochoa, 43, and Gutierrez, 35, as the shooters during the deadly encounter last weekend that left Pretti dead and ignited massive protests and calls for criminal investigations.

    Both men were assigned to Operation Metro Surge, an immigration enforcement dragnet launched in December that sent scores of armed and masked agents across the city.

    CBP, which employs both men, has so far refused to release their names and has disclosed few other facts about the deadly incident, which came days after a different immigration agent shot and killed another Minneapolis protester, a 37-year-old mother of three named Renee Good.

    Pretti’s killing, and the subsequent secrecy surrounding the agents involved, comes as the country confronts the consequences of President Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration crackdown. The sweeps in cities across the country have been marked by scenes of violence, against immigrants and U.S. citizens, by agents allowed to hide their identities with masks — an almost unheard of practice in law enforcement. As a result, the public has been kept from one of the chief ways it has to hold officers involved in such altercations accountable: their identity.

    Both Democratic and Republican lawmakers have called for a transparent investigation into the killing of Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care unit nurse working at a Department of Veterans Affairs hospital.

    “We must have a transparent, independent investigation into the Minnesota shooting, and those responsible—no matter their title—must be held accountable,” Republican Sen. John Curtis of Utah wrote on X on Monday.

    The agency sent a notice to some members of Congress on Tuesday acknowledging that two agents fired Glock pistols during the altercation that left Pretti dead. That notice does not include the agents’ names. A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees CBP, said the agents had been placed on leave after the Jan. 24 shooting. And after a week of protests and calls from lawmakers for a review, the Justice Department said Friday that its Civil Rights Division is investigating the shooting. A DOJ spokesperson did not answer questions, including whether DHS has shared materials, such as body-camera footage, with its investigators.

    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.

    In the aftermath of the shooting, Gregory Bovino, who has orchestrated high-intensity immigration sweeps and arrests in a string of Democratic-led cities since early 2025, was removed from his role as Border Patrol commander at large and reassigned to his former post in El Centro, California.

    A spokesperson for DHS declined to answer questions about the two agents and referred ProPublica to the FBI. The FBI declined to comment. ProPublica made several attempts to call Ochoa and Gutierrez but neither answered.

    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.

    DHS’ disclosure to Congress was drawn from an internal review of the agents’ body-camera footage, which has not been released to the public. State investigators, meanwhile, have accused their federal counterparts of blocking them from investigating the shooting.
