Two of Minnesota’s leading Democrats say the investigation into the fatal shooting of a woman by a federal immigration officer shouldn’t be handled solely by the federal government.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The investigation into the fatal shooting of a woman by an immigration officer in Minneapolis shouldn’t be overseen solely by the federal government, two of the state’s leading Democrats said Sunday.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and U.S. Sen. Tina Smith both said in separate interviews Sunday that state authorities should be included in the investigation because the federal government has already made clear what it believes happened.
“How can we trust the federal government to do an objective, unbiassed investigation, without prejudice, when at the beginning of that investigation they have already announced exactly what they saw — what they think happened,” Smith said on ABC’s “This Week.”
The Trump administration has defended the officer who shot Renee Good in her car, saying he was protecting himself and fellow agents.
