The Legal and Political Turmoil After the Deadly ICE Shooting in Minneapolis
The DOJ found no evidence for civil rights charges after FBI review, prompting resignations of six federal prosecutors and heightened federal enforcement in Minnesota.
- Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Department of Justice found no basis for a criminal civil rights investigation, with DOJ attorneys and the FBI agreeing the ICE officer involved in the Minnesota shooting was justified in using force.
- Amid ongoing protests, a federal court in Minnesota denied the state's emergency order, prompting increased federal enforcement and a response deadline for the administration.
- Several federal prosecutors in Minnesota resigned after the Department of Justice faced reports of an internal revolt over the case's management.
- Democrats on Capitol Hill are threatening legislation to strip ICE funding, and at least 70 Democrats joined an effort to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Wednesday.
- The FBI is pursuing a separate investigation into the shooting, and reports say the Pentagon dispatched military lawyers while the Department of Defense assigned judge advocates to assist the U.S. Attorney's Office in Minnesota.
