""I've never in my career seen a government official, an elected official, or the head of a law enforcement agency come out and within minutes justify the conduct of the officer or agent (involved in a shooting)," San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said on KQED's Political Breakdown onTuesday. "It tells me that there's already been a conclusion drawn, that we will not have a full and fair and independent investigation because they've already told us that they've determined that this shooting was justified. And so there will not be an opportunity for justice should that need to happen.""
""What we're trying to do here is inspire public trust," he said. "But I'm not going to be influenced in even the slightest by what any other person says." Bonta"
California prosecutors are pushing back against federal assertions that ICE agents have immunity and are vowing to investigate federal agents who break the law. The incident centers on the fatal shooting of Renee Macklin Good by an ICE agent during aggressive immigration raids in Minneapolis on Jan. 7. Federal officials, including President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, blamed Good, excluded state and local law enforcement from the investigation, and emphasized her possible activism. San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said the immediate justification suggests a predetermined conclusion that could prevent a full, independent investigation and deny accountability.
