Overview
- County Attorney Mary Moriarty said the review spans 17 reported incidents, including video of Border Patrol official Greg Bovino deploying a chemical agent on Jan. 21.
- The inquiry also examines a Jan. 7 arrest outside a high school where irritants were used while students and staff were nearby.
- The scope includes the January deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, with DOJ opening a civil-rights inquiry into Pretti’s death and the FBI limiting state access to some evidence.
- Moriarty’s office is in court seeking federal materials tied to the Pretti shooting and says it is prepared to sue if requests go unanswered.
- DHS asserted that state prosecutions of federal officers are unlawful and that agents acting in official duties are immune, while noting agents faced hostile crowds during targeted enforcement.
