The state wants a federal judge to force DOJ and DHS to hand over evidence in the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti—including a shrink-wrapped car sitting untouched in a Brooklyn Center warehouse.
This reeks of cover-up. But I guess they know that as cover-up's the name of the game in Trump world. I guess we're lucky they even saved the car and didn't send it to a wrecking yard. The whole world saw an anonymous ICE agent remove Pretti's gun from the back of his waistband. It wasn't in his hand, he wasn't threatening anyone. These are cover-ups to murder, plain and simple. The State and the families have a right to justice.
I think this approach is a mistake. That evidence is now unreliable. I think this approach reflects timidity in the prosecutor's office. Every day that passes is a day when the power of immediacy dims. The case will go before a jury (if they get by any immunity claim). They should have filed indictments immediately. This is a problem with all the states. They do not punch back. The only ones that have even threatened such action are the County Attorney in Philly and the Sheriff down there who gave ICE what-for before they ever showed up. I haven't followed the Philly news to see if that's been successful in warding off ICE's lawless behavior or reduced the number of ICE sent there. And even if Minnesota succeeds in this action to get "evidence" out of the hands of a lying administration, imo, they will only succeed in obfuscating the evidence for the jury, and criminal trial juries must unanimously decide beyond a reasonable doubt. Bad play.

I’m sure they know who the masked agents were that attacked Pretti. Murder has no statute of limitations.

A case of ''above the law''
Thank you, Pablo for another important story.
I hope the court can make an impact here! Please let justice be done.
