"Legal experts express concern over the lack of transparency in the investigations, with one stating, 'I would go out on a limb and say we're pretty confident that they're not investigating these agents for any possible crimes.'"
"Rachel Moran, a law professor, notes the unusual nature of the situation, saying, 'They appear to be actively preventing the state from investigating.'"
"State officials have accused the Trump administration of withholding evidence, stating, 'Federal agents first agreed to work with them at the scenes of the Good and Sosa-Celis shootings, then federal officials later took control of the evidence.'"
"In the case of the Pretti shooting, state investigators reported that 'federal authorities physically blocked state investigators from accessing the scene.'"
Federal investigations into three shootings involving immigration agents in Minneapolis remain unresolved. The Department of Homeland Security stated that the Justice Department is leading the investigation into the death of U.S. citizen Alex Pretti. An internal investigation is ongoing for Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, a Venezuelan immigrant who survived being shot by an ICE officer. The case of Renee Macklin Good, also a U.S. citizen killed by an ICE officer, is still under investigation. Minnesota authorities report minimal progress and cooperation from federal agencies.
