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.

I bet he changed his tune because he saw their last names. It can’t be overstated how much Miller hates Hispanic people.

    People are complicated and layered and there can be more than one reason why something happens.

    But the way he "broke up" with his latin best friend in high school suggests… there's more than racism to his visceral hatred of latinos.

    Miller is pretty well documented as being a racist since at least high school. There was an article recently where they interviewed a bunch of his classmates and they all concurred he’s been like this for a while.
