"Hennepin county prosecutor Mary Moriarty said that although her office has collaborated effectively with the FBI in past cases, she is concerned by the Trump administration's decision to bar state and local agencies from playing any role in the investigation into Ms Good's killing. She also said the officer who shot Ms Good in the head does not have complete legal immunity, as US vice president JD Vance declared. "We do have jurisdiction to make this decision with what happened in this case," Ms Moriarty said at a news conference. "It does not matter that it was a federal law enforcement agent.""
"A new, 47-second video that was published online by a Minnesota-based conservative news site, Alpha News, and later reposted on social media by the Department of Homeland Security, shows the shooting from the perspective of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (Ice) officer Jonathan Ross, who fired the shots. With sirens blaring in the background, he approaches and circles Ms Good's vehicle in the middle of the road while apparently filming on his mobile phone. At the same time, Ms Good's wife also was recording the encounter and can be seen walking around the vehicle and approaching the officer."
""That's fine, I'm not mad at you," Ms Good says as the officer passes by her door. She has one hand on the steering wheel and the other outside the open driver side window. "US citizen, former f***ing veteran," says her wife, standing outside the passenger side of the SUV holding up her phone."
A federal immigration agent shot Ms Good in Minneapolis, prompting protests and denunciations of immigration enforcement tactics and a separate Portland shooting by US Border Patrol. The Trump administration defended the officer, saying he protected himself and fellow agents. Hennepin county prosecutor Mary Moriarty expressed concern about a federal decision to bar state and local agencies from the investigation and asserted that the officer does not have complete legal immunity and that local authorities have jurisdiction. A 47-second video from an ICE officer shows him circling Ms Good's vehicle while she and her wife recorded the encounter.
