The Department of Veterans Affairs opened internal investigations into employees who spoke publicly or attended vigils after federal agents killed Alex Pretti, CNN reports. CNN says Becky Halioua, a VA employee, was investigated after she attended a vigil and spoke with media about Pretti's death. Colleagues held vigils at VA health centers to protest and mourn Pretti, and the agency probes targeting public remarks and participation could deter VA staff from speaking publicly about agency actions or joining workplace protests.
