Federal authorities have turned over a trove of evidence to Minnesota investigators from immigration agents' killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, state officials announced yesterday.
Federal agencies were resisting a longstanding tradition of sharing evidence of law enforcement shootings with their state and local counterparts.
State of play: Minnesota investigators now have custody of the SUV that Good was driving when she was shot by an ICE agent, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty told reporters.
Prosecutors now have body camera footage and statements from ICE and Border Patrol agents involved in both shootings.
What they're saying: "I hope this is the beginning of a major course correction on the part of the federal government," Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said in a statement.
Yes, but: It's not clear how much ongoing cooperation Minnesota officials can expect. The U.S. Attorney's Office "refused to confirm any cooperation agreement" in a hour-long meeting with Pretti family attorney Steve Schleicher, the Star Tribune reported.
When asked for comment, the Department of Homeland Security referred Axios to its inspector general's office.
When approached by other outlets, the White House and U.S. Attorney's Office declined to comment.
