Homeland Security officials now say that the two federal agents who fired shots in the death of U.S. citizen Alex Pretti have been on administrative leave since it happened on Saturday. That contradicts a prior comment from Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino, who had said the agents had been transferred, but were still working. They have not been publicly identified.

The Tuesday announcement came as Trump aide Stephen Miller suggested that the agents may not have been following protocol before the shooting.
