A fatal shooting by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis has triggered a legal and political clash over federal officer immunity and investigative authority, with Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) demanding state involvement and the Trump administration insisting the matter remains exclusively federal.

Walz said Thursday that Minnesota “must be part of this investigation” into the Wednesday shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer, accusing federal authorities of excluding the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension from an investigation that initially was expected to be conducted jointly.
