Minnesota says feds withhold evidence in Good, Pretti killings

Federal officials have paused sharing evidence with Minnesota investigators examining the fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal officers during the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in Minneapolis. The state says cooperation began in July, with body-camera footage, hard drives and agent statements provided, but was halted in September; investigators still seek officers’ phones, interview recordings and other evidence. Minnesota officials have asked a judge to order federal agencies to turn over the materials, arguing they are needed for independent investigations and could affect whether criminal charges are brought. The Justice Department says it has discretion to withhold information under its rules for responding to records requests, while state officials accuse the federal government of obstructing their investigations.
