Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension withdraws from ICE shooting investigation, says FBI blocked access to evidence The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) – the state’s top investigative agency – announced today that it would be withdrawing from the investigation into the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old woman in Minneapolis by a federal immigration agent.
In a statement, BCA superintendent Drew Evans said the investigation would now be “solely led FBI”, noting that that federal authorities have blocked BCA from accessing “case materials, scene evidence or investigative interviews necessary to complete a thorough and independent investigation”.
Evans added that without “complete access to the evidence” BCA would have to “reluctantly” withdraw from the ongoing investigation.
This is not going to end well.
Kash Patel following orders, which will subvert any follow-up investigation forever.
The whole US administration is fucked.
For sure but people seem to be organizing to protest rather quickly. It’s too close to George Floyd. It feels different. Maybe it’s just hopium.
E: The video material shared on socials is so clear that it makes it obvious to anyone looking the admin is lying, badly.
This is damn near identical to how the fascists approached George Floyd.
Difference is the fascists don’t have the same legal resistance to their actions to prevent an all out crackdown on opposition like in 2020.
Probably exactly why Waltz is readying the Nat Guard. It isn’t to resist ICE, its an attempt to discourage Trump from taking control of them again. I don’t think that’s gonna work tho.
Deniers, and Discouragers are certainly not going to ‘win the day’ on this one. If you aren’t in it to win it, then get out of the way of those who are. This is a pivotal moment in history. Carefully, precisely push the pivot in the right direction.
Have you ever been through Winter in the Northern Tier states? These people know how to thrive and laugh through hardship. Don’t Fuck with MN!
It unfortunately is.
Protesting this administration accomplishes literally nothing. They don’t give one solitary fuck what we think. “We” are their enemy who would never vote for them anyway. They have literally no incentive to listen to us.
They’ll lie and lie and lie, fox news will repeat the lie, Elon Fuck will retweet the lie, and the MAGA dumbfuck base will eat it up. The only video evidence they’ll see is the most obscure shot imaginable that leaves it ambiguous enough for them to come to the conclusion the Reich wants them to.
Oh I don’t envision protests moving hearts in the admin. They have no incentive to listen to protest in MN. They listen to their donors. If the protests grow large enough, much larger than today, that would mean missed work, expected profit loss, and at some point calls to Trump’s office by the oligarch class. The regime doesn’t have enough enforcement capacity to force most people to work should they decide not to. Beside, their profits rely heavily on consumption so they need everyone to work in order for the output to be consumed.
I’ll never stay at a Hilton hotel ever again cause of their support of ice and them pulling the independent owner of his franchise.
Fuck Hilton.
These days it seems profits, goods, services and non-corporate customers are unnecessary and it’s all about talking up the price of your stock. If you do need ordinary people to pay you money, just capture something everyone needs and charge them rent on it.
