FBI shuts down Minnesota’s investigation into ICE shooting and blocks access to evidence

Minnesota investigators say they have hit a roadblock in the probe of a fatal U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shooting after the FBI declined to participate in a joint investigation, officials said Wednesday.

Authorities said they are unable to access crucial evidence that could shed light on the circumstances surrounding the deadly encounter, which left one individual dead. State investigators emphasized that cooperation from federal authorities is critical to completing the investigation and holding responsible parties accountable, while Donald Trump was called a ‘disgrace to humanity’ by furious Americans for his statement.

The FBI has not publicly explained why it declined the joint probe, citing standard procedures for sensitive cases, while Minnesota officials expressed concern that the lack of coordination could delay transparency and justice. It comes after ICE agents’ chilling response was caught on video as they ‘block doctor’ from fatally shot woman.
