Court filings show DHS undercover agent monitored Alex Pretti memorial
New documents in the Minneapolis protester case detail an undercover federal surveillance operation that tracked activist meetings, a memorial, and a Signal group.
What to know
- New court filings show DHS/HSI undercover agents infiltrated Minneapolis activist groups, photographing a memorial for Alex Pretti and joining a neighborhood Signal group.
- The surveillance followed the killings of Pretti and Renee Good, who were monitoring Trump administration ICE operations in Minneapolis earlier this year.
- Defense attorney Kevin Riach argues the scope of the operation shows the 'Minneapolis 15' prosecution targets defendants' political beliefs rather than any actual crime.
- Case agents reportedly closed at least one undercover probe into a socialist group after finding no evidence of intended violence against ICE agents; DHS declined to comment.
