Quick Summary

Minnesota officials claim that the Trump administration has ceased sharing evidence related to the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal officers. The state had previously filed a lawsuit in March against the federal government seeking access to materials necessary for an independent investigation into these shootings, which occurred during the president's immigration enforcement actions in Minneapolis earlier this year. The dispute centers on jurisdictional issues: while Minnesota officials argue they need to investigate due to lack of trust in federal self-investigation, the Trump administration contends that state prosecutors do not have authority over federal officers.

Story summary

Minnesota officials say the Trump administration has stopped sharing evidence with them regarding the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, both US citizens, who were shot during a violent anti-immigration crackdown in Minneapolis earlier this year. The state sued the federal government in March for access to materials needed to investigate the shootings independently. Good was killed while driving away from a protest when she was shot by an ICE officer, and Pretti died after being shot by a CBP agent as he assisted another protester during demonstrations against the crackdown. Both incidents occurred amid weeks of militarized federal immigration enforcement actions that local leaders described as a siege. The state claims it does not trust the federal government to investigate itself, while the administration argues that state prosecutors lack jurisdiction over federal officers.
