Hundreds of people have taken to the streets of Minneapolis to protest the killing of 37-year-old Renee Good.
Minnesota officials say the FBI has blocked their access to an investigation into the fatal shooting of a woman by a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent.
People have taken to the streets of Minneapolis to protest the killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, who died on Wednesday after being shot in her car.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has accused the Trump administration of blocking state officials from involvement in the case, but the US vice-president said the investigation is a federal issue.
Officials have offered differing accounts of the incident, with the Trump administration claiming the ICE agent was acting in self defence, while local officials say the woman posed no danger.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has claimed the ICE agent shot Good multiple times because she was trying to run over the officer in her car.
The US Federal Bureau of Investigation said it would investigate the incident.
Minnesota's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) said the FBI had initially agreed to a joint investigation with state officials but then reversed course and denied the state access to materials and evidence.
Without the ability to access all the necessary case materials and evidence, the BCA has "reluctantly withdrawn" from the investigation, the BCA's superintendent Drew Evans said in a statement.
Speaking at a news conference on Thursday, Walz said he was worried the federal government would not be able to carry out an unbiased investigation.
"It feels now that Minnesota has been taken out of the investigation," Walz said. "It feels very, very difficult that we will get a fair outcome."
Vice President JD Vance told reporters on Thursday that the investigation into the shooting was a federal issue,...

Minnesota can now put ALL their investigatory assets on Somali fraud. How about that for an idea?
You don't cooperate with us, we don't cooperate with you.
It’s a sanctuary investigation.
Good! As they should. Why would anyone trust officials in a state where fraud and lying are the default practice? Law enforcement there cannot be trusted either
Trump should handle this like Clinton handled Waco. The media asked questions about Waco, and Clinton referred them to Janet Reno. Reno said it was an ongoing investigation. And that was that.

Just like when the FBI covered up the murder of Randy Weaver’s wife and kid, or ignored the questionable shooting of Robert Finicum.
When did Feds of any group suddenly become trustworthy to the people here?
I guess the Minnesomalia government thugs haven’t got access to the Internet in Minnemogadishu, and haven’t seen the damning videos starring Saint Swiss Cheese and her dumbass decisions yet...
STFU, BlueSky Boy.
Bob Wills is still the DU plant on Free Republic.
Exactly my feelings. It’s been an ongoing thing where people from the governor down have been anti-Trump/immigration enforcement. The freely admit that in the open. There’s obviously no way they’re willing to conduct a bias investigation. Even if the lower level employees who do the actual investigation, art bias, there will be immense pressure to make sure your results fit the narrative, the governor and idiotic mayor want.
attempted murder of a federal agent is a federal issue, and will be handled by the FBI. Dont like it? pound sand libs!
It’s Federal jurisdiction since it was ICE in the line of duty. No one was “blocked” - they simply weren’t given something they don’t have rights to.
With Kash Patel as Director, the FBI is not going to work wih traitorous officials in Minnesota.
It is as it ever is. Liberals die and if a conservative can be blamed there is hell to pay. Conservatives die and it’s not noteworthy. Time to move on.
Good the best decision
I want to defeat the Dems by any means. Don’t care if I become a hypocrite to do that.
Do you think there is no difference between Janet Reno and Kash Patel?
AFter Walz said that they are in a war against the federal government, he expects the federal government to include them in an investigation?
What an idiot.
