Minnesota Sues Feds to Force Evidence in ICE Shootings, Testing Immunity and Accountability

Minnesota prosecutors filed a federal lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department to obtain evidence and the identities of federal agents involved in the shootings of Renee Good, Alex Pretti and Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis during Operation Metro Surge, after the Trump administration refused to cooperate. The move, centered on Touhy letters, tests whether federal immunity under the Supremacy Clause can shield agents from state prosecutions and faces extradition and logistical hurdles, signaling a lengthy, high-stakes battle with broad implications for accountability in immigration enforcement. Moriarty’s office is also investigating 14 additional cases of possible federal-agent misconduct, highlighting nationwide scrutiny of use-of-force and transparency in federal operations.

Denmark unveiled a deportation reform to expel non-Danish citizens who receive a prison sentence of at least one year for serious crimes, while tightening residency checks and introducing ankle monitors for those who fail to report. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen says the government is acting unconventionally by amending legislation rather than waiting for European Court of Human Rights decisions, framing it as updating rules to better address security and integration.
