A former public defender and former federal prosecutor both say they’ll make the right call on charging the federal immigration agents who killed Pretti and Good. The post Decision on Charging Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s Killers Looms Over Minneapolis DA Race appeared first on The Intercept .
Minneapolis residents are deeply angered by the killing of two U.S. citizens, Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti, by federal officers in January. Racial tensions are high, and the issue has become a centerpiece in the race for Hennepin County Attorney. The two main candidates, Cedrick Frazier and Anders Folk, are vying for the top prosecutor position.
Frazier, a public defender and state representative, is leading with his "PROSECUTE ICE. VOTE FRAZIER" slogan, promising to hold federal agents accountable for any law violations. Folk, a former federal prosecutor, emphasizes his experience in federal criminal cases. Either candidate will likely decide whether to prosecute the federal immigration agents responsible for Good and Pretti's deaths.
The stakes are national, as Frazier's victory could signal a shift in how law enforcement holds authorities accountable.
