Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez are both officers with Customs and Border Protection, ProPublica reports
Government documents have identified the two federal officers who fatally shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis as Jesus Ochoa, a border patrol agent, and Raymundo Gutierrez, an officer with Customs and Border Protection (CBP), according to ProPublica.
According to those records, Ochoa, 43, and Gutierrez, 35, were the agents who fired their weapons during the confrontation last weekend that resulted in Pretti’s death.
The shooting sparked widespread demonstrations and renewed demands for criminal inquiries into federal immigration enforcement actions. Immediately following Pretti’s killing, the Trump administration repeatedly pushed false claims about the shooting.

BenderRodriguezThey were Mexican? Timeout. WTF!?!
He won the Latino male vote. People are stupid.
there are gay Republican voters
CorkyskogPeter Thiel who is financially sowing the seeds to all this is gay… Imagine paying for the people who will inevitably want to destroy you.
Of course, he tried to make Mexico pay for a wall to block themselves off, now he’s trying to make Mexicans deport Mexicans. It’s a power thing for him, not even about money.
Some of the most hateful racists are quite often the first (or even zeroth) generation immigrants. They have experienced enough racism that they decide they want to be on the winning side and “prove” themselves to be One Of The Good Ones. Its why a LOT of AAPI “kids” semi-jokingly say “My mother is an asian white supremacist…”. And… why so many of us have gone low, if not no, contact as adults.
And its worth remembering. You know how it feels like EVERY Irish American family have like twenty cops in them? That was a conscious effort in the late 19th/early 20th century with many of the Irish gangs effectively becoming the police unions we still know today. People often don’t realize that the Irish are “the n-words of the whites” in the US. A “good” comparison is how the Romani and Travelers are… still treated in large parts of Europe.
But if you are the child of immigrants? You learn that real fast because your parents use that as an example of “fitting in”.
All of which is to say: There is a reason only the most privileged of white folk were shocked when Male Hispanic voters made up such a large part of fuckface’s base.

OOOohh, Jesus Christ. Quit with the divisive gatekeeping.
MinnesotaGoddamthat reason is that latinos are not a monolith and that they could be from one of 20 different countries.
… I don’t think you understand what “gatekeeping” means…
Unless your point is that you are angry your socioeconomic group isn’t getting credit for being an even bigger part of fuckface’s reelection? Or that you aren’t viewed as privileged enough to be THAT naive?
Aside from that: I think there is a lot of value in understanding the demographics and the reason behind our christofacist regime. Because… only the most privileged of white folk THINK they can ignore it.
Especially when said demographics and understanding explain why two of the most famous murderers in the country AREN’T white.
I hope these ramblings make you happy. I’m glad that I get to make someone feel good.
wheezyIf you haven’t been paying attention to the white Hispanic Nazis over the last decade I can see how this would surprise you.
Nick Fuentes is the voice of the American Nazi movement.
If it’s not clear I’ll spell it out. Fascism has never been a movement based purely on racial lines. Fascism is and always has been a method of defense and oppression used by the capitalist class to maintain power over the working class. Racism and bigotry are only as meaningful as they can be used to maintain the current structures of power.
So, yes, people with Mexican sounding names will be recruited to as soldiers of the fascist state. Some may even lead it.
You need to dissolve your ideas of liberal identity based politics and start thinking in terms of class struggle. If you can, you’ll be much better prepared and able to understand what will unfold over the next decade of our lives.

Yeah, no. Not something I really follow.
This was the leader of the proud boys during the January 6th insurrection.

There are also lot of Latino origin people that are literally just white by all means. It kind of just goes to show that being “white” is not really a real thing. It’s just a word that has always been used to describe the in-group. Irish were not white, Italians were not white, hell, you go back far enough and you got writings from Thomas Jefferson describing Germans as non white.
I think the average “white” American doesn’t actually understand what that term even means or how it’s been used historically.

Enrique Tarrio quotes “White Pride”. I blame Barbie and Ken dolls.
Don’t be racist. /S
I don’t this racism is the authentic reason for what’s happening. It’s just the tool being used by them to achieve their goal.
TheTechnician27Anyone know their home states?
With name, age (which we have) and state, everything down to their relatives can be found pretty easy.
I’m certain they’re Texans as one of them had a Texas flag on their vest when Pretti was shot.
Does it say their home states? Because that’s the question I’m asking.
Texas. Now, let’s identify their family.
OK, now start the prosecution. I don’t understand how a murder, covered in detailed video from every angle, from the build-up to the trigger pulling, needs much of an investigation. Everyone saw what those murderers did.
This is exactly when an investigation is useful: when all of us armchair experts already know the answer.
Get real ballistics and forensics experts in there. Get police with 20 years’ experience.
Records reportedly show that Ochoa joined CBP in 2018 as a border patrol agent, while Gutierrez began working for the agency in 2014.
So it’s almost like years of training and experience had no effect on being trigger happy.
Dems in seats wanted more money for ice training that they claimed would have prevented these executions.
-we all knew it was bullshit. But now we have receipts.
Good’s killer was also a long serving ICE agent. Dems want visibility on the hint that they could be doing something, maybe. They don’t care about the actual facts on the ground. They need a third way, no matter what.
Real world example of AI fucking shit up royally. The “Justice for Alex” sign on the bike is the MSNBC image they altered with AI. (or it appears to be altered from the original to me.)

While MSNBC did retouch the picture, this comparison went the other way and purposefully squeezed the original picture vertically to look worse.
That’s what makes you confused that the picture on the bike is fake. That one is actually the original.
After looking at that article, I think the photo on the bike is the original, not the AI version.
I went back and forth. The face looks squished vertically, but the lens shows the side of his head whereas in the AI one, it doesn’t. All that said, I don’t think it’s the same version as the MSNBC one, but it looks different to the original.
Here is a pic that is supposed to be them.
