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.

    The lesson to take away from all of this is that you’re going to be murdered and they’ll claim that you tried to run them over, no matter what you actually did. So why not just run them over?

      The lesson is they’ll escalate to violence against any random unarmed person that happens to be near them…

      They haven’t done this to anyone who was visibly armed tho, and I’ll be shocked if they ever do.

      Fear of their own safety has become the ultimate card to play. All too common in just regular domestic incidents that escalate into something more.
