"Minnesota must be part of this": FBI bars state investigators from ICE shooting case

Minnesota investigators left out of ICE shooting probe, state officials accuse FBI of reneging on joint investigation.

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has refused to work with Minnesota's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) in the investigation into a fatal shooting of a woman by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent. The BCA superintendent, Drew Evans, revealed that he was informed of a sudden change in plans, after which the FBI denied access to case materials needed for a joint investigation.

As a result, the BCA has withdrawn from the probe entirely, with Evans stating that it would now be led solely by the FBI. This move comes as the state's social media account expressed concern over the decision, calling for a "clear and transparent" investigation.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz called on the investigation to be conducted by state investigators in his Thursday press conference, saying "Let us, the professionals, handle this investigation on Minnesota soil." His call echoes the concerns of Minneapolis officials who labeled the decision to remove the BCA from the probe as "deeply disappointing."

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem defended the FBI's takeover of the case, branding Minnesota as "corrupt" and a "train wreck," pointing to recent scandals that led to funding being frozen for the state. However, her assertion has been contradicted by Acyn's reporting during a Thursday press conference, which stated that the BCA had not been cut out of the investigation but rather did not have jurisdiction.

The development highlights tensions between state and federal authorities in investigating high-profile cases, with implications for accountability and transparency.
 
I'm literally shaking my head right now 🤯... I mean, can you believe what's going on?! So the FBI is basically just swooping in and taking over a case because they think Minnesota is "corrupt" or something? Like, what even is that? 😒 Kristi Noem needs to chill out and stop throwing shade at our great state. And honestly, I'm kinda worried about how this is gonna affect the investigation... I mean, if the BCA wasn't really cut out of it but just didn't have jurisdiction, that's still super fishy 🐟.

I know the Governor and some Minneapolis officials are all upset, but can we please focus on getting to the bottom of what really happened? I've got a cousin who lives in MN and she's been following this whole thing on social media... poor woman is super stressed out 😬. Anyway, I just think it's kinda crazy that state and federal authorities aren't always on the same page when it comes to investigations... like, shouldn't they be working together to solve crimes? 🤔
 
omg, this is so messed up 🤯! I mean, can't we all just get along? The FBI and Minnesota's BCA were supposed to work together, but now it's like they're at war 💔. It's not fair that the state's officials are being unfairly labeled as "corrupt" by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem 🙄. I mean, have you seen the recent scandals in the federal government? Let's focus on solving problems instead of playing politics 🤝.

I'm so worried about accountability and transparency in this investigation 🕵️‍♀️. If the state can't trust the FBI to get it right, who will? The public needs answers and justice should be served 💥. I hope Governor Tim Walz's call for a transparent investigation gets some traction 👍. We deserve better than this kind of drama and politics 🚫 #FBI #BCA #JusticeMatters #AccountabilityIsKey
 
I'm still reeling over this whole thing 🤯. I mean, how can you just pull the plug on a joint investigation like that? The BCA was already looking into it, and now they're being forced to start from scratch? It's like they didn't want the state to have any say in their own case 😒.

And Kristi Noem's comments about Minnesota being corrupt? Come on, that's just not fair 🙄. I mean, I get that there are some questionable things going on in the state, but to just label us as a whole is ridiculous. And what really gets me is that they're saying it's because of funding issues... like, no one knew about that until now 🤑.

I'm all for transparency and accountability, but this feels like a case of "we don't want you to know what we're doing" 🤐. The BCA was already working on the case, why did they need to pull out? And now it's just going to be handled by the FBI? It's not right 😡.

I'm following Acyn's reporting on this, and I have to say, I'm a bit skeptical of what's really going on here 🤔. The whole thing feels like it's being manipulated...
 
omg, this is like soooo messed up 🤯! I'm literally fuming about the whole thing... how can the FBI just abandon a joint investigation mid-stream? it's like they're trying to cover something up 🔍👀 Minnesota officials have every right to be concerned and rightfully so - transparency is key in cases like this. Kristi Noem's comments are also super shady 🤥, labeling an entire state as "corrupt" without evidence is just bad politics. I'm definitely gonna keep an eye on how this investigation unfolds ⏰
 
omg what is going on here?? i just saw this thread from like 3 days ago and i am literally shaking my head 🤯. so the fbi is just gonna swoop in and take over the investigation without even consulting the state? it's not right, you know? minnesota has the right to have some say in their own investigations too. and whats with kristi noem calling them corrupt? that's just rediculous 😂. i feel for the family of that woman who was shot... they deserve justice and transparency, not a bunch of backroom dealings between federal agencies. can someone please get to the bottom of this? 🤔
 
😔 this is so not right... i'm seriously worried about the fact that the FBI is reneging on a joint investigation without even telling the BCA. it's like they're just swooping in and taking over, no regard for the state's concerns or professionals who are trying to get to the bottom of this. 🤕 it's also really concerning that Kristi Noem is making such broad accusations against Minnesota without any evidence... like, come on, secretary, can't you see how hurtful that sounds? 💔
 
I cant believe what Im hearing about this whole thing 🤯. The FBI just reneged on a joint investigation and now its all about them? Its like they think they can just swoop in and take over without anyone asking any questions. And to add insult to injury, Kristi Noem calls Minnesota corrupt... thats rich coming from the woman who's been making waves with her own controversies 😒. Its not okay for our state officials to be treated this way, especially when we have a good reason to want answers about what happened. Transparency is key in investigations and its clear that the FBI is trying to sweep this under the rug 👎.
 
OMG, this is like something straight outta "The X-Files" 🤔😱 - a federal agency basically shuts down a state's investigation without warning, leaving everyone wondering what's going on 🕵️‍♀️. And Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem throwing shade at Minnesota by saying it's "corrupt" and a "train wreck" 🚂? That's some serious #NotMyInvestigation vibes 😒. I mean, can't they just get along and let the professionals handle the case on their own turf? 🤷‍♀️ It's all about accountability and transparency now, and if Minnesota is saying that something's fishy, we should definitely be paying attention 👀.
 
I'm really concerned about this whole thing 🤔. It's like, how can we trust the FBI to handle an investigation when they're willing to shut down a joint effort that's been set up to ensure transparency? I mean, what if there are some major mistakes or cover-ups that need to be exposed? Shouldn't we have multiple sets of eyes on this case to make sure everyone's being honest about what happened?

And come on, Homeland Sec Kirsti Noem is basically calling out the entire state of Minnesota for being corrupt just because they're pushing back against an FBI takeover 🙄. That's not how investigations work - we need a level head and some good old-fashioned detective work to get to the truth.

I'm also kinda worried about what this says about accountability and transparency in general 🤷‍♀️. If state officials can't even trust their federal partners to do an investigation right, what does that say about the whole system? Can we really expect people to believe that things are being done correctly when there's so much potential for mishandling or manipulation?
 
OMG u guys can u believe this?? 🤯 so like the FBI is literally reneging on their promise to work together with Minnesota's BCA on this ICE shooting probe and now they're just gonna do it all by themselves? like wth? I'm so frustrated for the families of the victims, especially the woman who got shot and killed. her life was literally cut short because of some rogue ICE agent and now we're supposed to just trust that the FBI is gonna get to the bottom of it without any help from the state? 🤷‍♀️

and what's with homeland sec Kristi Noem talking trash about Minnesota like that? "corrupt" and a "train wreck"? what even is she talking about?? has she been in law enforcement for like 5 seconds or something? 🙄 I'm just so done with politicians trying to spin this narrative and make it look like the state is somehow responsible for the problems with ICE. no way, dude. we're trying to hold our own agencies accountable here not perpetuate some kind of racist agenda.

I don't even know what's more frustrating - that the FBI won't work with the BCA or that homeland sec Noem is just so extra with her comments 🤣 I guess this whole thing just shows how messed up it is when we're supposed to be working together as a team but instead we're all trying to point fingers and cover our own behinds. can we just have some real transparency here for once? 🙏
 
😕 Oh man... I'm really worried about this whole situation. It sounds like the FBI is just being super secretive and not giving Minnesota's BCA the access it needs to get to the bottom of what happened. That's so unfair! 🤔 The governor and Minneapolis officials are right, they should be handling their own investigation on home soil. And Kristi Noem is just spreading rumors about Minnesota being "corrupt"... like that's going to help anything? 😒 This whole thing just feels like a big mess. 🙄
 
OMG, this is getting drama-filled by the minute 🤯! I'm like "what's good" with the FBI reneging on their plans to work with the BCA? Like, isn't that how investigations are supposed to go down? A team effort, right? 🤔 And then Kristi Noem comes in and throws some shade at Minnesota... like, come on, lady, don't be salty just 'cause things aren't going your way 💁‍♀️. It's all about keeping it real and making sure justice is served, you feel? So, let's keep an eye on this one and see how it all plays out 📺🕵️‍♀️
 
Ugh, this is just so messed up 🤯... I mean, can't we just have a civilized conversation about what went down? The FBI taking over the investigation like that? No thanks, mate! 😒 I'm all for holding people accountable, but not at the cost of transparency and fairness. It's like they're trying to sweep this under the rug. 🚮

And what's with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem calling out Minnesota as "corrupt" and a "train wreck"? Like, come on! That's just hurtful and unprofessional 😔. I get that there are controversies in the state, but labeling it like that? Not cool.

The thing is, we need to focus on getting answers here, not making assumptions or taking potshots at states that are already dealing with tough issues. Can't we just have a joint investigation like everyone thought they were going to have? 🤷‍♂️ It's frustrating, but we need to keep pushing for truth and accountability.
 
🤔 I'm really bummed to hear that the FBI is pulling out of this joint investigation with the BCA. It just doesn't add up - like, they were fine with having a joint effort just yesterday, and then BAM! Suddenly they're all "we're doing it ourselves". 🚫 That's pretty suspicious, you know? And what's with Homeland Sec. Noem trashing Minnesota like that? 🤷‍♂️ It seems super out of line for someone in her position... anyway, can't we just get some answers around here? 💡
 
🤔 this is so fishy, like what's really goin' on here? one minute you're all buddy-buddy with the BCA, next you're just ghostin' 'em? it's all about coverin' their own backsides, if you ask me. no transparency whatsoever 🙅‍♂️ and now Kristi Noem is actin' like Minnesota is some kinda dirty secret 🤢 gotta keep an eye on this one...
 
Ugh 🤯 this is so not right! I mean, what even happened? One sec you're all like "let's work together" and the next they just shut out Minnesota from the investigation 🚫. I get it, funding's a big deal, but that's no excuse for playing politics with something as serious as a murder probe 💀.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this - the BCA had jurisdiction over the case, right? So why did the FBI just swoop in and take over? 🤔 It's like they think they're above some kinda oversight or somethin' 🙄. And what really gets me is that Homeland Sec Noem is basically saying Minnesota's corrupt - but I don't see any evidence to back that up 😒.

I'm all for state and federal agencies working together, but this kind of thing just feels like a big ol' mess 🤯. Can we please get some clarity on what's going on here? And more importantly, what about the victim's family? Don't they deserve answers? 🤕
