DHS says illegal immigrant sought amid Pretti shooting had violent domestic history
Who's accountable for the results?
The illegal immigrant being sought during the operation that resulted in the death of a 37-year-old U.S. citizen had a violent rap sheet that included domestic assault involving intentional bodily harm, according to federal officials.
Jose Huerta-Chuma ultimately escaped capture during the chaos, Border Patrol Cmdr. Gregory Bovino told reporters Sunday, as he condemned characterizations of his agents as "Gestapo" — referencing the Nazi Geheime Staatspolizei — in the media and in public discourse.
Huerta-Chuma, reportedly an Ecuadorian national, also had other convictions, including driving without a valid license and disorderly conduct, when agents attempted to take him into custody at a Minneapolis donut shop.

"The DOC reviewed available records to determine whether [Huerta-Chuma] had any connection to Minnesota state prison custody," the department said in a statement.

The agency said Huerta-Chuma’s name matched misdemeanor traffic offenses and said he had been in federal custody in a local Minnesota jail in 2018.
"Any decisions regarding release from federal custody at that time would have been made by federal authorities. DOC has no information explaining why this individual was released," the agency said, while also claiming it works with ICE to facilitate custody transfers in conflict with public statements by federal officials.

During the ultimately unsuccessful capture of Huerta-Chuma, Pretti approached agents in the midst of their mission while armed with a 9 mm handgun and was killed when agents later fired "defensive shots," according to Bovino.
