"Deaths" should be "murders." They were murdered.

For nothing else than to coerce the people into pursuing a political goal. They were victims of textbook terrorism.

Good to see that there are still states that think that cold-blooded murder needs to be called out, even when conducted by Federal Goon Squads.

I mean, no charges have been filed in the murders of Good and Pretti so I think you're giving far too much credit.

Would you rather have officials who won't call out cold blooded murderers? I think Minnesota definitely deserves lots of credit, here - they're actively going after a release of the evidence being hidden by Trump & Goons, Inc. - so yes... I'll give credit where credit is due.

Honestly suing them and tying them up in litigation might be the only thing we can really do that’ll matter

USA is the single most litigious country on earth. We may as well use it to our advantage.

It hadn't done this already? I was wondering if their families had sued the DHS for labeling them as "terrorists".

If I remember correctly, state investigators were being held back from a proper investigation by the feds. Probably took them this long to get enough evidence together that hadn’t been tampered with

Nope, this lawsuit is to get access to the evidence: >Minnesota officials sued the Trump administration on Tuesday for access to evidence they say they need to independently investigate three shootings by federal officers, including the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

Thank you for that information.

The legal basis for this suit likely rests on the Tenth Amendment and the failure of federal agencies to coordinate with state law enforcement, leading to the jurisdictional chaos that resulted in these shootings. By naming specific victims like Pretti and Good, Minnesota is moving beyond abstract policy debates and forcing the discovery process to reveal internal communications from the executive branch. This could set a massive precedent for state autonomy during federal interventions....

May we always remember their names, their murderers will probably go to their graves unpunished.

Good. May their families get justice for their murders.

Why are we _suing_ and not _arresting_?

Discovery should be interesting

The feds are blocking their investigations. It's making it harder to bring charges against the ICE agents involved. That's part of why the lawsuit needs to come first- they're suing for the evidence

it is very likely an intelligent long-play, for if negligence is found under the civil liability's less stringent standard of proof, then criminal charges can be brought and possibly more easily won under Minnesota's second-degree manslaughter statute

I’m genuinely curious what you believe the headline to mean. Do you think the verb “sues” is implying some financial remuneration? The state is suing the Feds for access to evidence of the crime scenes. “Suing” is seeking court remediation and order to the Feds to give the evidence to the state so they can *pursue its own investigation*.

That's how most law enforcement works in the US at this point. Someone breaks a law, the law isn't enforced, and the accused has to get sued to be held accountable.
