"Minnesota is now preparing to sue the federal government for access to that evidence, with a deadline set for today. But with all that said, it's not just the high-profile killings of Good and Pretti that are being investigated in Minnesota, with Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty announcing a much wider series of investigations on Monday that are targeting misconduct by ICE agents from throughout Operation Metro Surge."
"Speaking to media on Monday, Moriarty said her office was in the midst of investigations of potentially unlawful behavior on the part of federal immigration agents in Hennepin County (which includes Minneapolis) during the Minnesota crackdown. She also said her office had created an online portal for residents to use in order to send in collected videos and photos of incidents they witnessed."
Minnesota authorities are conducting independent investigations into the deaths of two Minneapolis residents killed by federal immigration agents in January, as well as broader misconduct during Operation Metro Surge. ICE has obstructed local investigations by denying immediate crime scene access and withholding collected evidence, prompting Minnesota to prepare a lawsuit for evidence disclosure. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty announced investigations into 17 incidents involving potential unlawful conduct by federal agents, including actions by former Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino. The county has established an online portal for residents to submit videos and photos documenting incidents of federal agent misconduct.
