Minnesota says federal government stopped sharing evidence on Good and Pretti killings

Minnesota officials say the federal government has stopped sharing evidence with state authorities investigating the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. They made the claim in recent court filings.

PBS NewsHour reports that the Trump administration has suggested state prosecutors have no jurisdiction to investigate federal officers. Minnesota officials, PBS says, have said they do not trust the federal government to look into its own conduct.

The Hill says the Department of Justice is the party that stopped sharing evidence, citing a filing reviewed by the Associated Press. The Guardian refers to the federal government generally and says officials described the transfer as paused.

Good and Pretti were killed earlier this year by federal immigration officers, according to the reports. Minnesota sued the Trump administration in March, The Guardian reports, seeking materials it said it needs for an independent investigation of the shootings.
