Official: Agents in Alex Pretti shooting on leave

CBS News has learned the federal agents involved in Saturday's deadly shooting of Alex Pretti have been placed on administrative leave. President Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, is in Minneapolis leading the ongoing immigration operation. I don't care who you are. Get back in your vehicle.

Wednesday, federal agents threatened to arrest an Associated Press cameraman as he was documenting an operation. And on Tuesday, agents were seen detaining two men. In the back seat, Jenny, who only provided her first name and her daughter. Ma'am, go home with the baby.

Jenny says she pleaded to go with her husband and her cousin, but agents refused to take them. [SPEAKING SPANISH]

She goes over to her cousin, who makes a run for it, but is soon caught.

Jenny says they're all undocumented and came to the US from Ecuador to provide for their family. It's unclear why she wasn't taken. There's some hope from many Minnesotans that Homan's arrival here and the change in leadership by the Trump administration will lower tensions in the Twin Cities.

You must resign!

Police arrested 55-year-old Anthony Kazmierczak, who assaulted Congresswoman Ilhan Omar during a town hall Tuesday night, spraying her with a liquid. She continued the event. We are Minnesota strong. And we will stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.

CBS News asked Minnesota's governor about the political rhetoric President Trump has directed against Omar. I keep coming back to this. The decency of the American people is going to have to speak up.

Omar said on social media she's doing OK and won't be intimidated by a, quote, "small agitator." Ian Lee, CBS News, Minneapolis.

CBS News Homeland Security Secretary-- Homeland Security correspondent Nicole Sganga joins us now. You could be Secretary if you wanted to. What a promotion. You would have my vote. Yeah, I'll stick with correspondent. OK. All right. Let's talk about what you have learned from a federal official about these officers that contradicts what Bovino has previously said. Yeah, it was fascinating. As I was listening, Lindsey, on Saturday to Commander Gregory Bovino, it struck me as odd that the commander said during his press conference that the officers who were involved in the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti had been working in a different city for their own safety. And he cited what's known as doxxing, so publicly revealing their names, their ages, where they live, though we haven't learned any public information identifying specifically who these officers were. But he claimed that they were still on the job. Today, we learned from DHS officials and law enforcement officials that these officers, all of those who were involved, including the two that we know opened fire, have been placed on administrative leave. Now, that is typically protocol during an officer-involved shooting. And they will remain on leave if protocol is followed until this investigation is completed. We do know that HSI, Homeland Security Investigations, is currently leading this, along with the FBI, though there are a lot of questions about the credibility of the probe right now.

All right, Nicole Sganga, thank you. Thank you.

CBS News senior White House and political correspondent Ed O'Keefe joins us now. So Ed, yesterday, President Trump and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, they appeared to be on better terms. Today, they were butting heads on social media. I mean, what are they doing to work together? Are people frustrated that there's still this sort of back and forth online? Well, I think, generally, there'd be a concern that after two days of suggesting there would be a de-escalation and a sense of cooperation, there is now a war of words again, at least playing out digitally, the mayor especially quite stridently striking back at the White House and the vice president, specifically reiterating that he's not going to allow Minneapolis Police to assist with federal immigration because they have other things to worry about, and that that is a policy that is similar to other cities, other states that do not cooperate with federal immigration activities. Here in the District of Columbia, they have been to some extent. But in Minneapolis, at least so far, the decision is that they don't do that. So that continues to be a sticking point, at least digitally. But we know that the border czar, Tom Homan, is now in Minneapolis running things and has met with the governor and the mayor. And best we can tell through today, operations continue, and they have not been necessarily as violent as they had been in previous days.

Let's talk about a little bit more of the fallout. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller admitted yesterday Border Patrol agents may have violated protocol when they shot and killed Pretti. Miller, obviously and previously, referred to him as a would-be assassin without providing any evidence. He still hasn't apologized. And an impeachment resolution against Secretary Kristi Noem now has 173 House Democratic co-sponsors. Will anyone be let go or held accountable at the administration level? No, at least not yet. There's been no indication of that. The president, of course, has publicly supported Noem, said she's doing a good job. Stephen Miller was traveling with him yesterday to Iowa, remained on the job today, best we can tell. And there's been no indication that there's going to be a dismissal of anyone. What you have seen, though, by sending Homan to Minneapolis, by sending Gregory Bovino, the head of CBP, back to California, and by sending Secretary Noem off to worry about other aspects of DHS, is essentially a reassignment or a refocusing and trying to reduce the public scrutiny of those officials and the rhetoric that they had been sharing, the assumptions they were making before an investigation was completed, before those investigations are held. But as of now, no indication that anyone is losing their job over this, at least at the federal level.

Ed O'Keefe, thank you.
