""Weaponizing the justice system and threatening political opponents is a dangerous, authoritarian tactic," Walz said in a statement."
""The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.""
"Frey last week said ICE agents should "get the f*ck out" in response to the shooting and called the administration's defense of the officer "bullsh*t.""
"President Trump on Thursday once again floated invoking the Insurrection Act to deploy troops to Minnesota, unless state officials "stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the patriots of I.C.E.""
Walz's office said the governor had not received notice from the Department of Justice about an investigation. Walz called efforts to pursue political opponents through prosecutions a dangerous, authoritarian tactic and noted the federal agent who shot Renee Good was not being investigated. Both Walz and Frey strongly condemned federal actions after the killing and the presence of ICE officers in Minnesota. Frey demanded ICE agents leave and criticized the administration's defense of the officer. President Trump suggested invoking the Insurrection Act to deploy troops to Minnesota unless state officials stop attacks on ICE. Walz urged loud, urgent, peaceful protests and filming of law enforcement to establish records.
