How the feud between Trump and Minnesota is impacting the probe into the ICE shooting

[Dulcinea]

(NPR) In Minnesota, amid heated protests and immigration raids, federal and state authorities have also been sparring over the investigation into Renee Macklin Good's killing by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent Jonathan Ross.

Last week, in an unusual move, the FBI told Minnesota's investigative agency that the bureau will solely lead the inquiry. The decision alarmed Minnesota officials who urged for a joint investigation in the name of fairness and transparency. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has argued that Minnesota authorities "don't have any jurisdiction" to investigate the shooting. President Trump claimed the FBI was not sharing materials because Minnesota officials were "crooked."

The handling of the investigation is the latest rift between the Trump administration and Minnesota officials over the fatal shooting. Legal experts say the move away from a joint investigation marks a shift from how high profile criminal cases are typically handled — and that it could ultimately hurt both the federal inquiry and the prospects of a state one.
