Parents of Alex Pretti slam Trump administration for withholding evidence into his killing

The parents of Alex Pretti, a US citizen killed by federal immigration agents in Minnesota in January, publicly criticized the Trump administration at a Minneapolis press conference for withholding evidence from local prosecutors. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, who is conducting a criminal investigation and has sued the federal government for evidence, said in a court filing that some information had been withheld; the Justice Department said such communications do not typically occur during an investigation.
