Why we checked itCollins makes a specific factual claim about which federal agency's personnel carried out a shooting in Minneapolis, using it to rebut a policy argument. If the agency identification is wrong, it materially undermines her argument.
What we foundThe Alex Pretti shooting in Minneapolis was carried out by CBP agents, not ICE — but calling both shooters 'border patrol agents' is slightly imprecise, as one was a Border Patrol agent and the other a CBP Office of Field Operations officer.
