Federal agents involved in fatal shooting of Alex Pretti placed on administrative leave as standard protocol. The two officers are currently off duty amid the investigation into the incident that left one man dead in Minnesota over the weekend. An initial statement from Customs and Border Protection suggested that all agents involved had been removed from duty but officials later clarified that they were simply being kept off-duty while the investigation progressed.

According to a spokesperson for the agency, placing officers on administrative leave is standard procedure when an incident occurs involving federal law enforcement personnel. This move allows officials to ensure their safety without disrupting ongoing operations and enables them to receive any necessary support during the investigation.

However, this development may raise questions about how quickly agents were removed from duty after the shooting took place. Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino had stated earlier that all agents involved in the incident remained on duty but for their own safety; his comments differ from the initial statement made by Customs and Border Protection.

It remains to be seen whether these officers will face any disciplinary action or consequences as a result of their involvement in the fatal shooting.
 
🤔 The whole thing just feels kinda weird, you know? I mean, standard protocol is standard protocol, but there's some inconsistencies here... like, wasn't everyone involved taken off duty at first? And then did they decide to take it back? It's all a bit unclear.

I'm not saying that putting them on admin leave for their own safety isn't necessary, 'cause I get that. But at the same time, it seems like it could've been handled differently from the start... or so it feels.

It's also interesting that the Border Patrol guy said they were kept off duty but still technically worked... meanwhile, Customs and Border Protection is saying they're just on leave. It's all a bit confusing 🤷‍♂️
 
I don’t usually comment but... it's kinda weird how fast they moved on this incident. I mean, I get that you gotta keep everyone safe and all that, but still, it feels like they were trying to sweep it under the rug pretty quickly. And now they're saying the agents involved are just being kept off-duty while the investigation is going on? That sounds like a pretty thin excuse to me... 🤔

I don’t know if anyone's gonna take action against them or not, but I do think there should be some kinda transparency about what really happened here. It feels like we're getting half-truths and PR speak, you know? I'm just hoping the truth comes out eventually and that it doesn't end up being a big cover-up... 🤞
 
I'm low-key annoyed that they're not being fired already 🤔. I mean, how can you just put guys on admin leave for safety and let them walk free? It feels like a slap in the face to Alex's family 💔. And what's with the different statements from CBP and Border Patrol? Can't they just stick to one story? 🙄
 
🤔 I mean, it's not entirely surprising that the agents involved in Alex Pretti's fatal shooting are being placed on administrative leave, right? I think this move is basically just standard protocol for when there's an incident involving federal law enforcement personnel. It's like, a way to ensure everyone's safety without messing up the workflow or disrupting ongoing operations.

But what's weird is that Customs and Border Protection initially said all agents involved were removed from duty, but then they clarified it was more about keeping them off-duty while the investigation unfolds. I guess that's still good practice, though? It just feels a bit...confusing?

And what really gets me is how different Greg Bovino, the Border Patrol Commander, and Customs and Border Protection are on this issue. One says all agents stayed on duty for their own safety, but the other initially said they were removed from duty? That's like, two different versions of the same story. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens next.

I'm curious if these officers will get in trouble or face any consequences for their involvement in Alex Pretti's shooting 🤷‍♂️
 
OMG, this is so concerning!!! I'm thinking about Alex's family and loved ones right now 🤕💔 It's understandable that they want to keep the agents off duty while the investigation is ongoing, but it does seem weird that one agency said all agents were removed and then changed their mind 🤔👀 Hope these officers are safe and get the help they need during this difficult time 💖😊
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole thing 🤯. I mean, what's with all the backpedaling from the Customs and Border Protection agency? First they said all agents were removed from duty, then it was just some being kept off-duty... what's the real story here? 🤔

And I gotta wonder, if one of their own got shot by another officer, wouldn't that be a pretty big deal to keep them on duty "for their own safety"? Like, come on, officers don't usually get a free pass to just chill while still being in uniform and potentially handling sensitive situations. 🚔

It's gonna be interesting to see what comes out of this investigation... hope it's not one of those cases where the agents involved just get a slap on the wrist 💸.
 
OMG, standard protocol much? 🙄 Like, didn't they already know that putting guys on leave after a fatal shooting was gonna happen? And now they're trying to retroactively remove them from duty? Sounds fishy to me... Anyway, I guess this is one way to ensure officer safety without, you know, actually making sure justice gets served 🤷‍♀️. Either way, can't wait for the investigation to wrap up and hopefully some accountability comes out of it 💁‍♀️
 
OMG, can you believe this? Like, two officers are off-duty already and they're still trying to figure out what happened 🤯. I mean, I'm all for keeping those guys safe, but it's like, 'oh no, we need to investigate too'... kinda like when my Wi-Fi keeps dropping and I'm all 'wait, is this a conspiracy? 😂'.

So, apparently, placing them on admin leave is the standard protocol now... that's just peachy. It's not like they're doing anything wrong, but since one dude got shot, suddenly it's a big deal 🤷‍♂️. I'm curious to see if these officers will get in trouble for their actions – fingers crossed they don't! 🤞
 
OMG, this is such a tough situation 🤕... I'm thinking about Alex Pretti's family and loved ones, they must be going through an incredibly difficult time right now 😔. The fact that the agents involved are being kept off-duty while the investigation continues is probably for the best, it's better to prioritize everyone's safety rather than risking a huge backlash 👮‍♂️.

But I have to wonder, why wasn't everyone immediately taken off duty? 🤔 I mean, if Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino said that much, it seems like there should've been some action taken sooner ⏱️. Fingers crossed that the investigation is thorough and the agents involved will face any consequences they deserve 💯.

This whole thing just feels so... uncertain 😬. Can we ever truly know what happened without a full investigation? 🤷‍♀️
 
I find it quite telling that, in the wake of this incident, our federal agencies are opting for a more cautious approach by placing agents on administrative leave rather than immediately removing them from duty. It's almost as if they're taking a step back to regroup and re-evaluate their procedures 🤔.

On one hand, I can understand why officials would want to ensure the safety of both the officers involved and the public at large. After all, it's always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to matters of life and death.

However, the slight discrepancy between the initial statement and the more recent clarification from Customs and Border Protection does raise some eyebrows 🚨. It's almost as if there was a miscommunication or a change in plan without adequate explanation.

Ultimately, the fact remains that these agents were on duty at the time of the incident, and their actions may have contributed to Mr. Pretti's untimely demise 💔. Whether they face disciplinary action or not will likely depend on the findings of the investigation, but for now, I think it's safe to say that this whole ordeal has left a lot of questions unanswered 🤷‍♂️.
 
I FEEL LIKE THE FACT THAT THESE OFFICERS WERE TAKEN OFF DUTY SO QUICKLY IS kinda suspicious tho 🤔... i mean, dont get me wrong, its good that theyre safe and all, but shouldn't we know more about whats goin on behind the scenes? it seems like CBP was tryin to hide somethin with that initial statement. anyway, hopefully justice will be served in this situation and whoever was responsible gets held accountable 💯
 
🚨💔 I'm not surprised at all that they're just being kept off-duty, it's about time someone took responsibility for their actions though... 😒 2 agents down is 2 too many already, and what was going through those officers' minds when they pulled the trigger? 🤯 This whole thing stinks of a cover-up and we need more transparency. At least they're acknowledging that protocols were followed (or so it seems), but I'll believe it when I see some actual accountability 🤑.
 
idk why they're keepin off-duty, seems like standard protocol but it's weird that they said all agents were removed from duty first and then changed their minds 🤔. I feel bad for Alex Pretti's family, one life lost is one too many. gotta hope the investigation gets to the bottom of this and those involved face whatever consequences come their way 💯. it's always tough when law enforcement gets involved in fatal incidents, hope they can learn from this and make changes to prevent it from happenin again 🙏.
 
The whole "standard protocol" thing is just what I want to hear 🙄, sounds super legit that they were basically allowed to keep on truckin' while they figured out what happened... meanwhile we're expected to believe that one agent's safety wasn't compromised by having a colleague who killed someone on the job at their side? Please. This whole thing has me wondering if anyone actually knows what went down or is just making it up as they go along 🤔.

Anyway, I'm sure the officers will be cleared of any wrongdoing... right after they fill out all those little forms and promise to be more careful next time (which we've heard that one before, right?) . It's not like this is a big deal or anything, just your average, everyday case of "oh, someone shot another person while on the job" 🤷‍♂️.
 
so now they're putting them on "admin leave" because safety first... sounds about right 🙄. it's not like it took them a few hours to realize the guy was dead or anything. idk what kind of training these guys got, but i'm sure they'll just be fine once they've had their little break 🤦‍♀️. and of course, the agency is being super transparent about everything... lol yeah right 💁‍♀️. at least they're keeping them off duty for now, that's what matters, right? 🙃
 
🤔 this whole thing feels off, you know? standard protocol, they say... but how long did it take for them to get taken off duty? seems like it should've been sooner, considering all the lives involved 🕰️ then again, I guess it's better late than never 😒
 
I'm so surprised they're putting them on administrative leave already, I mean what's the rush? They didn't even get a chance to enjoy their coffee break before they're being sent home 🤔. I don't think this is a good idea at all, it just gives people more time to speculate and gossip about the whole thing. And why do we need an investigation anyway, can't we just let it go? I'm sure those officers didn't mean for anyone to get hurt, they're probably really shaken up by the whole thing 🤕.
 
🤔 I dont think its fair that they get to just take a lil break while the investigation is still goin on...like whats the point of even investigatin if they're just gonna be sittin around doin nothin' 😒. I mean, I know its standard protocol and all that jazz 🙃, but it feels like they're tryin to sweep this under the rug and avoid takin responsibility for what went down. And whats with the Commander guy sayin one thing and then Customs makin a different statement? 🤷‍♂️ That dont sit right with me...it just seems like there's more to this story than we're bein told 👀.
