The Trump administration has turned over to Minneapolis prosecutors evidence it previously withheld in connection with shootings involving immigration agents, according to local officials. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, the lead prosecutor, said the federal government provided what she described as “voluminous” material after about six months of discussions, including jurisdictional disputes. The case involves the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, both immigration agents, and the wounding of a Venezuelan man during deportation-related sweeps in January. Moriarty said the transfer follows extended coordination between federal and local authorities regarding which office has authority over parts of the investigations and prosecutions. The sources indicate prosecutors are now reviewing the newly produced evidence as the criminal proceedings move forward. The reporting frames the evidence handover as a procedural development that stems from earlier disagreements and delays between federal agencies and local prosecutors, rather than as an immediate change in the underlying allegations.
