Minnesota sued the federal government on March 24, seeking access to evidence in the fatal shootings by federal officers of Renee Good and Alex Pretti and a shooting that injured another man during an immigration enforcement surge in the state, according to a complaint.
The lawsuit against the U.S. Departments of Justice and Homeland Security alleges that authorities blocked state investigators from key evidence and information related to the shootings that fueled protests over the administration's presence in the state.

In late January, following the killing of Alex Pretti, a court granted the state a temporary restraining order barring federal investigators from destroying evidence in the investigation. The restraining order was eventually dissolved by the judge who granted it.
"Plaintiffs seek declaratory and injunctive relief to set aside Defendants’ unlawful policy of noncooperation and their resulting refusal to comply with the investigative demands ofMinnesota authorities," according to the complaint.
