The Department of Veterans Affairs investigated whether an employee broke agency rules about press interactions after she attended a vigil for Alex Pretti and spoke to the media, according to a report.
Federal immigration agents fatally shot Pretti, a 37-year-old VA nurse, in Minneapolis on Jan. 24. Soon afterward, VA employee Becky Halioua attended a candlelight vigil for him in Augusta, Georgia, and spoke to local outlet WRDW.
