Minnesota prosecutors announced Monday that they have obtained key evidence in their ongoing investigations into fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti during pitched protests against a federal immigration enforcement crackdown in the state earlier this year.
鈥淭hrough the cooperation of our federal partners we have obtained the hard drives of previously withheld evidence in the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti and the shooting of Julio Sosa-Celis,鈥� Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said. “We have also obtained some of the physical evidence that was previously withheld, including Renee Good鈥檚 car.鈥�
Statements, police body camera video and other evidence had previously been withheld by federal officials in the killings.
She said state and local investigators now also have in their possession Good鈥檚 damaged car.
Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, was shot and killed in her car while leaving an anti-immigration enforcement protest in Minneapolis on Jan. 7 as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents surged through the region.
Her death and that of , a 37-year-old intensive care nurse by federal officers just weeks later during a Jan. 24 protest, sparked outrage across the country and immigration enforcement.
鈥淭he wonderful thing now is we have all the evidence,鈥� Moriarty said.
Investigators are going through all the evidence, including hard drives with statements, hours of video recorded by body-worn cameras and the physical car Good was driving, Moriarty said.
鈥淲e need transparency. We need cooperation. Our community needs it,鈥� she said. 鈥淥ur democracy requires it.鈥�
At the end of June, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and Moriarty asked a federal judge to push out the deadlines in their lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice because they said they were in the midst of recently reinitiated 鈥渙ngoing discussions鈥� with the FBI about information sharing.
Those ongoing discussions with the FBI about information sharing are likely to affect Minnesota鈥檚 request for summary judgment in the case, Ellison and Moriarty wrote in their motion to the court.
The attorneys representing the federal government signed onto the motion.
Ellison said he remains 鈥渄eeply troubled that the federal government spent more than half a year attempting to conceal this evidence from state investigators.鈥�
鈥淚t should never have taken this long for Minnesota law enforcement to gain access to the federal government鈥檚 evidence,鈥� he said in a statement. 鈥淚 hope that this is the beginning of a major course correction on the part of the federal government.鈥�
There have been at least eight deaths since the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement campaign began last year, but nobody has been charged in connection with them.
A Minneapolis resident, Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, was also shot and injured in his home while ICE agents were in pursuit of another man.
In May, Christian Castro, an ICE agent, was arrested and charged as well as falsely reporting a crime in connection with that Jan. 14 nonfatal shooting.
Prosecutors say Castro, 52, fired through a home鈥檚 front door and shot Sosa-Celis in the thigh.
In April, Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr., another ICE agent, was at a motorist and passenger on a Minneapolis highway.
Prosecutors said at the time it was the first criminal case against a federal officer involved in the Minnesota immigration crackdown.
On Monday, ICE was involved in the , according to state House Speaker Ryan Fecteau, a Democrat.
Details of what transpired in Biddeford, a coastal city of about 23,000 people roughly 15 miles (24 kilometers) southwest of Portland, remain unclear.
Last week, an ICE agent in Houston a Mexican national who had lived in the U.S. for decades as the homebuilder drove his construction crew to a job site.
The federal Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, has acknowledged officers when they attempted to stop Lorenzo Salgado Araujo鈥檚 vehicle. The agency maintains Salgado Araujo rammed an ICE vehicle, prompting an officer to open fire in self-defense.
