"For instance, in the wake of the killing of Renee Good by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, protesters have been gathering at a federal building out by the airport in the bitter cold. Police have greeted them with chemical irritants. Meanwhile, downtown, a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter tried to stage a protest in support of the Trump administration. But his small group was quickly overwhelmed-and pelted with water balloons. Locals blasted music from the movie Frozen and carried signs reading "ICE out of Minnesota.""
"Yeah, two different portals. One is through the Hennepin County attorney's office for evidence concerning the death of Good, and the other one is just general information on what ICE is doing, what they're up to. And they're for two separate reasons. One is going to help us determine whether it would be appropriate to file charges against Jonathan Ross, and that decision has not been made yet. And I don't want people to worry. It is the practice for criminal investigations to first investigate, then make a charging decision."
State authorities have opened two public evidence portals: one through the Hennepin County attorney's office for material related to Renee Good's death, and another for general information about ICE activities. The evidence will inform whether to file charges against ICE agent Jonathan Ross; no charging decision has been made and investigators emphasize the standard practice of investigating before charging. Protests have formed at a federal building near the airport and downtown, with police deploying chemical irritants and confrontations between pro-Trump demonstrators and locals, including water-ballooning and signs reading 'ICE out of Minnesota.' Officials are soliciting public information.
