@ProPublica I know two men named Jesus (Jesse) Ochoa and a Raymundo Gutierrez, but these murders are too young to be my old friends. If it had been one or two of them, I'd waste no time traveling to my home state to punch them in their Nazi face.

@ProPublica Of course they have last names like that. I'm sure it's advantageous for the border patrol to have bilingual people in it.

I hope this drives some cognitive dissonance in Trump's base. When their definition of "the enemy" is suddenly wearing the uniform and oppressing them, I'm hopeful some minds might change.

In fact, that's probably why the regime kept the names under wraps this whole time...

@ProPublica I hope someone in your newsroom is working on getting a source to admit they - ICE - are being told to escalate and get in observers faces in an attempt to provoke a violent response. It’s obvious to anyone paying attention, but hard to prove intent without testimony.

@ProPublica This reminds me of a part of the movie Hail Caesar, where they are looking to employ a legal person to cover for an actor caught for dangerous driving, a patsy if you will. These two guys smell of patsy to me. https://external-preview.redd.it/vYvifYG3ixB6842P4KqpuDAEVsvmmzU1YT0iLG6-VOw.gif?width=573&format=mp4&s=afbe046dbdce876599db9ef6212365494b6acf8d

@ProPublica Hm. Anyone else find it strange that the Federal agents who murdered Alex Pretti while abducting immigrants have the most Hispanic names I've ever heard? Idk. Find it kinda weird.

Kinda like the Mexican ICE agent arresting the Hispanic guy who resisted and asked why he was being harassed. Then the Mexican ICE agent said because you have an accent. In response the US citizen asked if he was fucking stupid since the Mexican ICE agent had a stronger accent.

Whole thing is ridiculous. Reminds me of Nazis getting Jews to police other Jews into concentration camps.

@ProPublica

They've been with CBP for years.

This seems to support an argument that current leadership and / or workplace culture were a significant influence. That could be important for showing culpability of those running this operation.

"Ochoa is a Border Patrol agent who joined CBP in 2018. Gutierrez joined in 2014 and works for CBP’s Office of Field Operations."

@ProPublica Can you imagine the widespread elation if justice is actually served and these two go to jail for second degree murder?

Jesse Ochoa's Facebook is batshit crazy. Thinks Trump is anointed by god and plays Qanon number games with the bible. And leftists/Obamas are literal demons, of course.

How tf did these guys pass any sort of employment screening, and well before Trump's current reign of terror?

@ProPublica 'Sunlight ruins the Ice", that's why today's NHL outdoor game kept a tent over the playing surface until game day. 'Sunlight ruins ICE' also pertains to the federal agency. Removing their 'tent' of secrecy is important.

@ProPublica I'd like to know what the government promised these guys (above the $50,000 bonus) in order to get them to participate in an armed attack on the civilian population.

A note from our editors:

Note from the editors:

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. 

The Department of Justice said it is investigating the incident, but the names of the two agents have been withheld from Congress and from state and local law enforcement.

The policy of shielding officers’ identities, particularly after a public shooting, is a stark departure from standard law enforcement protocols, according to lawmakers, state attorneys general and former federal officials. Such secrecy, in our view, deprives the public of the most fundamental tool for accountability.
