Minnesota says DOJ halted evidence sharing in immigration officer shootings
Minnesota officials say the Justice Department has stopped sharing evidence about the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good by immigration officers earlier this year. The claim was made in a court filing reviewed by the Associated Press, according to the report. The dispute centers on federal information-sharing in the two deaths.
Minnesota authorities assert that the U.S. Justice Department has ceased providing materials tied to the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, both killed by immigration officers earlier this year. The assertion appears in a court document that the Associated Press reviewed, according to the report. At issue is how federal agencies share information with state officials in the two death investigations. This falls within broader disputes over intergovernmental cooperation and court oversight when federal and state authorities examine the same incidents.
The dispute may affect families seeking answers, state investigators needing federal records, and public confidence in how deaths involving federal officers are reviewed. If information-sharing remains limited, court challenges could shape what state officials can obtain and how quickly. The case could also influence expectations about transparency and cooperation between federal and state authorities, though its broader impact will depend on later legal rulings and disclosures.
