Bill Cassidy raises concerns over ICE, DHS credibility after Minneapolis shooting – The Hill

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) on Saturday expressed concern about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) reputation following another fatal shooting in Minnesota.

“The events in Minneapolis are incredibly disturbing. The credibility of ICE and DHS are at stake. There must be a full joint federal and state investigation. We can trust the American people with the truth,” Cassidy said Saturday in a post on the social platform X.

A high-ranking Minnesota public safety official said Saturday that his agency was blocked from participating in any federal investigation into the deadly shooting of Alex Pretti, noting that “we’re in uncharted territory.”

Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) Superintendent Drew Evans said that after the FBI left the scene Saturday, BCA agents sought to begin their own investigation but were “unable to hold that scene, and it got run over by protesters, and we were not able to reexamine that scene.”

He added that BCA was denied access to the scene at a later time, and that after they obtained a signed search warrant, state agents were still not permitted to enter the area. 

The Hill has reached out to DHS for comment.

Cassidy’s comments follow weeks of tension in Minnesota over President Trump’s immigration agenda, which escalated in the wake of the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE officer earlier this month.

The office of #KeithEllison, the #Minnesota AG, is asking a judge to stop the surge of federal# immigration agents in the state. Later today, #federal officials will argue against a lawsuit brought by the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension [#BCA] following the killing of #AlexPretti by federal agents.

Video from Sunday morning shows people in #BCA jackets at the scene. One person asked those standing nearby to leave the area for about 20 mins so investigators could document the scene.

The BCA & the #HennepinCounty Sheriff’s Office are both suing the #Trump admin after the #shooting. Early Sunday, a federal judge in #Minnesota granted a temporary restraining order [#TRO] blocking federal agencies from destroying or altering #evidence related to #AlexPretti’s killing.

“They even got a #state search #warrant for a public area to conduct their investigation, but they were not allowed in,” O’Hara said.

The scene has since become “contaminated,” O’Hara said, adding the situation is “not ideal” for investigators.

#BCA Superintendent Drew Evans said Saturday that state & #local #police were unable to secure the scene & it was overrun by protesters, preventing the BCA from conducting its own investigation.

Bureau of Criminal Apprehension arrives at #shooting scene after being turned away

More than 24 hours after a #CBP agent shot & killed #AlexPretti, personnel from #MNBCA have arrived at the scene.

#BCA staff are “canvassing & looking to collect whatever evidence may be there,” #Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said Sunday.

O’Hara said he requested the BCA to investigate immediately after the shooting, but “they were refused entry” by #federal agents.

After detailing how BCA agents “were blocked by federal agents with the DHS from accessing the scene“ — even after obtaining a search warrant — Evans concluded, “In my 20-plus years at the BCA, prior to 2026, I had never encountered a situation in which federal authorities blocked BCA access to an incident where there is concurrent federal and state jurisdiction.“

State and local leaders say
💥they do not believe that the #FBI #investigation of the shooting death of #Renee #Nicole #Good will be fair and impartial,

-- and are sounding alarms about the impact of federal officials
🆘 holding onto evidence in a potential prosecution of the ICE agent who killed her.

Minnesota’s lead investigative agency,
the "Bureau of Criminal Apprehension" ( #BCA ),
initially began investigating the shooting in conjunction with the FBI.

But the BCA issued a statement Thursday morning saying that
“the US attorney’s office had reversed course:
the investigation would now be led solely by the FBI,
and the BCA would no longer have access to the case materials,
scene evidence or investigative interviews necessary to complete a thorough and independent investigation”.

Hennepin county attorney
#Mary #Moriarty,
an elected Democrat and the county’s prosecutor, clarified at a press conference Friday that
the BCA
– which was established in 1927
– has a very high investigative standard
💥and that this standard can’t be met when the organization doesn’t have access to all the evidence.
It does not preclude an investigation, she said.
But a lack of access to evidence hampers the investigation.

“When the BCA came to the scene,
the evidence had been taken by the FBI,” she said.
“They collected the car and took it wherever the BCA does not have access to the car.
And the problem isn’t that the FBI took the car,
it’s that the BCA doesn’t have access to the car, or right now,
even access to the #forensic #evaluation that happens as a result of the investigation with that car.”

Minnesota’s lead investigative agency, the "bureau of criminal apprehension", initially began investigating the shooting in conjunction with the FBI.

and the BCA would no longer have access to the case materials,

Hennepin county attorney #Mary #Moriarty, an elected Democrat and the county’s prosecutor, clarified at a press conference Friday that the BCA
– which was established in the wake of the George Floyd case
– has a very high investigative standard and that this standard
can’t be met when the organization doesn’t have access to all the evidence.
It does not preclude an investigation, she said.
But a lack of access to evidence hampers the investigation.

“When the BCA came to the scene, the evidence had been taken by the FBI,” she said.
🆘 “They collected the car and took it wherever the BCA does not have access to the car. And the problem isn’t that the FBI took the car, it’s that 👉the BCA doesn’t have access to the car, or right now, even access to the forensic evaluation that happens as a result of the investigation with that car.”

In a press conference on Friday, the Minneapolis mayor, #Jacob #Frey, described the federal government’s narrative casting Good as the villain as “#garbage” and called on the state to conduct its own investigation.

“This is a time to follow the law,” he said.
“This is not a time to hide from the facts.
This is a time to embrace them,
making sure that we’re pushing for transparency every step of the way.”

“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,” he added.
Media reports have identified the agent who shot Good as Jonathan Ross. ICE agents allowed Ross to #leave the scene in the moments after the shooting, taking the weapon used in the shooting with him.
“It doesn’t preclude a state investigation, but if the feds are saying, for example, you don’t even get to look at the firearm that was used to kill this person, that would certainly complicate it,”
said #Eric J #Nelson, a defense attorney in Minneapolis with a long record of defending police officers accused of crimes.
Nelson represented Derek Chauvin in his murder trial for killing Floyd.

The legal standard for proving a case of excessive force rests on the
🔹“objective reasonableness” of the act as given in the
🔹"Graham v Connor" case decided by the US supreme court in 1989.

From that case flows policies governing when and how police officers can use force.
The standards are essentially the same for both state and federal prosecutions, he said.

The breakdown in cooperation between state and federal agencies in this investigation is “shocking”, Nelson said,
and flies in the face of the public’s expectations of legal norms.

“There may be political differences, but ultimately in a question in a case like this, I don’t really think politics should have a place,” he said.

The cover up has begun. Local law enforcement barred from investigating #ICE murder of Ms #Good.

The #FBI has taken full control of the investigation into the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Macklin Good by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in #Minneapolis, blocking Minnesota state investigators from accessing evidence, case materials, or interviews.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) has "reluctantly" withdrawn from the investigation, citing federal authorities' reversal of an initial
agreement to conduct a joint probe. As of January 8, 2026, the #BCA no longer has access to scene evidence or witness statements, raising concerns about transparency and accountability.

#ICEmurder #ICE #minneapolis #ReneeNicoleGood
This is important and needs more traction. Our community will NEVER have faith in any investigation that cuts out local authorities. And that is even more true given the immorality and incompetence of the #DOJ & #FBI. I realize that #MN #BCA cannot investigate w/o access to evidence, but is there no legal recourse? Can MN sue the to get access and conduct their own investigation? OTOH video is all the evidence of murder needed freeradical.zone/@steve_zeke/1

When the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is taken of the murder case…. 🤯

“Without complete access to the evidence, witnesses and information collected, we cannot meet the investigative standards that #Minnesota law and the public demands.”

He said the #FBI informed the #BCA later Wednesday that the #USattorney’s office had changed the plan.

“The investigation would now be led solely by the FBI, & the BCA would no longer have access to the case materials, scene evidence or investigative interviews necessary to complete a thorough & independent investigation,” Evans wrote.

The #BCA Business Council of Australia is clearly living in the past ... " sensible, stable reform backed by both *major* parties" and they must have missed the memo that says we are experiencing a #ClimateCrisis !! 🙄 Thank goodness most voters don't even know who they are ... 🥂 #AusPol #EPBC_Act

RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:rrigcgajvpkngw5ewsmqznjj/post/3m6l2xr6ppk2s

‘Missed opportunity’ is also the reaction of the Business Council of Australia who say the reforms won’t deliver “transformational economic change”.

BCA chief executive, Bran Black, says the business group has supported reform to the environment protection and biodiversity conservation act (EPBC), but raised concern that the agreed upon position still contains “ambiguity and risk, which may shut out projects before a proper assessment”.

In a statement, Black says:

    We have always said a sensible, stable reform backed by both major parties is what we need if Australia is to deliver the energy and renewables, critical minerals and infrastructure projects that underpin productivity and living standards.

    Our concern with this package, as it stands, is that there’s lots more work to do to deliver a net benefit for business and the economy.

He also adds that the BCA does not support the concession to the Greens that prevents gas projects from being approved through “streamlined pathways”.

I’m Go8b smacked! WTF? That’s just put them in the ‘untrustworthy’ bucket AFAIAC. The TertiarySector has really been done over in the last decade or so…

Q. Is…has it been pushed far/long enough for academics and students to take a more aggressive stance? I know I’m angry enough and I have not attended Uni for a long time.
