The state investigators in Minnesota are now claiming that they’re not being allowed access to the evidence in the case of the fatal shooting by an ICE agent yesterday in Minneapolis.
Here’s the news:
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota investigators say they can't access evidence after fatal ICE shooting and FBI won't work jointly on probe.

The head of Minnesota’s state investigations agency said Thursday that the U.S. attorney’s office has barred it from taking part in the investigation into the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer.
Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Superintendent Drew Evans said in a statement that after the agency consulted with the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office, the U.S. attorney’s office and the FBI following the Wednesday shooting of 37-year-old mother of three Renee Nicole Macklin Good, “it was decided that the BCA Force Investigations Unit would conduct a joint investigation with the FBI” and that the “BCA responded promptly to the scene and began coordinating investigative work in good faith.
He said the FBI informed the BCA later Wednesday that the U.S. attorney’s office had changed the plan.
“The investigation would now be led solely by the FBI, and the BCA would no longer have access to the case materials, scene evidence or investigative interviews necessary to complete a thorough and independent investigation,” Evans wrote.
The corrupt state of Minnesota has a state sanctuary policy of refusing to work with ICE and DHS. Yet when the roles are reversed, they complain about it, as if there’s something shady going on. No, we heard from Minnesota leaders yesterday who have already made up their mind about this, calling it murder and what not. I don’t know exactly why they are being disallowed from this investigation now, but that’s exactly where I would start looking. Minnesota is full of political state actors and the last thing this investigation needs is those kinds of ‘politicians’ mucking this up more from an official capacity.
UPDATE: Tim Walz is holding a presser on this issue claiming Minnesota will not get a fair outcome now that BCS has been excluded from the investigation. I’m holding back what I really want to say, but seriously, what an evil, corrupt politician. America really dodged a bullet with Trump’s victory in 2024.
