The New York Times • • general
Key Points:
- Prosecutors face significant legal challenges in bringing charges against the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who fatally shot Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, due to constitutional protections for federal officers acting on duty.
- Convicting law enforcement officers is generally difficult, and the contentious nature of this case adds to the complexity.
- The Trump administration is unlikely to pursue a federal case and is refusing to share investigative evidence with Minnesota authorities.
- Minneapolis’s top prosecutor, Mary Moriarty, stated that the lack of access to federal evidence is not an insurmountable obstacle and is seeking ways to compel the FBI to share information.
