Minneapolis asks to join probe into woman's killing by immigration officer
The mayor of Minneapolis on Friday called for state investigators to be allowed to join the federal probe into the killing of a US woman by immigration enforcement, accusing President Donald Trump's administration of prejudging the case.
Minnesota officials have complained that their law enforcement agencies have been excluded from the investigation into the killing of motorist Renee Good by a federal immigration officer on Wednesday.
A local prosecutor said Friday that federal investigators had taken Good's car and the shell casings from the scene.
The Trump administration has sought to paint the victim as a "domestic terrorist," insisting that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent who fatally shot her was acting in self-defense.
Cell phone footage apparently taken by the officer who fired the fatal shots shows him interacting with Good as he approaches and circles her car, and her saying, "I'm not mad at you."
After he passes in front of the car, another agent can be heard ordering Good to exit the vehicle before she tries to drive off and shots ring out.
The White House insisted the video gave weight to the officer's claim of self-defense -- even though the clip does not show the moment the car moved away, or him opening fire.
"This is not the time to bend the rules. This is a time to follow the law... The fact that Pam Bondi's Department of Justice and this presidential administration has already come to a conclusion about those facts is deeply concerning," Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, a Democrat, told a briefing on Friday.
"We know that they've already determined much of the investigation," he said, adding that the state's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, within its department of public safety, has consistently run such investigations.
"Why not include them in the process?" Frey said.
On Thursday, US Vice President JD Vance said that the ICE officer, named in US media as Jonathan Ross, had "absolute immunity" -- a claim disputed by local prosecutors.
Court filings seen by AFP showed that in June 2025, Ross was dragged 100 yards along a road by a car driven by a man who was the subject of immigration enforcement activity.
- 'Get out' -
Minnesota officials have said that local investigators were initially invited by the FBI to participate in the inquiry into the shooting of Good, but were subsequently blocked from taking part.
Good, 37, was shot in the head as she apparently tried to drive away from ICE in the Midwestern US city as officers approached her car, which they said blocked their way.
Good was one of four people who have been killed by ICE since Trump launched his immigration crackdown.
Good's wife Becca Good told local media that they had gone to the scene of immigration enforcement activity to "support our neighbors."
"We had whistles. They had guns," she said.
Local prosecutor Mary Moriarty, the Hennepin County attorney, said "our goal must be that a thorough investigation is completed at the local level."
"The FBI currently has, for example, Ms Good's car, the shell casings and witness interviews."
Moriarty unveiled an online evidence portal, calling for submissions so that all available leads could be compiled.
She added that she hoped federal authorities would reconsider and "at least" give local detectives access to evidence.
Protest action continued Friday with hundreds gathering at a federal facility that has become a focal point of anti-ICE demonstrations with at least one detention seen.
Federal immigration officers armed with pepperball guns and tear gas jostled with the noisy crowd.
"ICE needs to get out of Minnesota, we don't need them here, these are not criminals -- and actually ICE, they are the criminals," one Minneapolis resident, who only gave her first name Eleanor, told AFP.
