"This is what a cover-up looks like,"
"It's shocking to me that this is the route and the path that it's taking, because I do believe that it undermines the public trust in the government,"
"Our goal must be to ensure that a thorough investigation is completed at the local level, that our community can have transparency,"
"They have no intent to pursue a good-faith investigation."
Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said her office's concern centers on the lack of evidence sharing between local prosecutors and federal investigators, not the quality of the FBI investigation. The Minneapolis Bureau of Criminal Apprehensions reported being barred from the crime scene, evidence, and interviews, leaving local prosecutors unable to evaluate the case for charges. Moriarty emphasized the need for local cooperation to ensure a thorough investigation at the local level and to provide transparency to the community. The Justice Department blamed Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for breaking ties with local investigators after his comments, and several national officials defended the ICE officer.
