A judge late Saturday ordered the Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies not to destroy evidence related to Border Patrol’s killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti after Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison filed a lawsuit. The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office alleged that the defendants named in the lawsuit and those working under their authority seized evidence from the scene of the shooting, “preventing state authorities from inspecting it.” In court documents, Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Superintendent Drew Evans said federal agents blocked his agency’s personnel from accessing the scene even though they secured a search warrant, which he said they usually do not need for examining a public space. “In my 20-plus years at the BCA, prior to 2026, I had never encountered a situation in which federal authorities blocked BCA access to an incident where there is concurrent federal and state jurisdiction,” Evans said. Responding to the lawsuit, U.S. District Judge Eric C. Tostrud issued a temporary restraining order barring federal agencies “from destroying or altering evidence related to the fatal shooting.” A hearing is scheduled in St. Paul on Monday afternoon. Ellison said earlier that Minnesota law enforcement’s investigation of the shooting is underway, but that it is “essential that the evidence collected by federal agents is preserved and turned over to state officials.” The lawsuit was filed against DHS, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Protection and the Border Patrol. The leaders of the agencies as well as U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi were also named as defendants. Live updates: Minneapolis on edge as details emerge of deadly shooting
