Minnesota state officials say in recent court filings that the federal government has stopped sharing evidence with state investigators looking into the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Both were shot by federal officers during an immigration crackdown in Minneapolis earlier this year. The officials sued the Trump administration in March for access to materials they say they need for an independent investigation. State prosecutors announced in July that evidence transfers had begun, but investigators say in October filings that the transfers stopped soon after. The Trump administration has suggested that state prosecutors do not have jurisdiction to investigate federal officers, while Minnesota officials say they do not trust the federal government to investigate itself.
