Trump’s FBI Kicks Locals Out Of Minneapolis Shooting Like Guest At Bad Wedding
KEY POINTS
- •The Trump administration barred Minneapolis investigators from examining the shooting of Renee Nicole Good, citing distrust of local officials.
- •Mary Moriarty, Hennepin County Attorney, criticized the lack of evidence sharing, saying it prevented assessment of possible charges.
- •President Trump and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem defended the ICE officer, while local officials called for troop withdrawals amid rising tensions.
In an episode resembling a conspiracy Netflix binge, the Trump administration barred Minneapolis local investigators from examining Renee Nicole Good’s fatal ICE shooting case, sparking bipartisan whoopee cushion noises in the legal world. Dan Gelber, Miami’s mayor and former federal prosecutor, dropped the mic calling it a cover-up, while Derek Chauvin’s lawyer Eric Nelson sniffed, 'public trust? Never heard of it.' Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty lamented her team getting ghosted on evidence sharing, which FBI says is just FBI being FBI. Meanwhile, Trump praised the ICE officer, likened local officials to 'crooked', and blamed mayor Jacob Frey for calling self-defense 'bullshit.' Homeland Security’s Kristi Noem refused to retreat troops even as Minnesota begged for calm, and VP Vance declared federal agents as untouchable gods shielded by 'absolute immunity.' This squad’s got more drama than a Miami police shootout redux, and the Olympia of absurdity is DHS’s 2018 memo promising no excessive force — cue the irony soundtrack.

Trump’s DOJ is now exclusively investigating a shooting they’ve already declared ‘self-defense.’ Local cops invited as spectators, popcorn not included.
Why have local cops investigate when you can have the FBI run interference like a dodgy game of hide and seek with evidence?
Apparently, calling self-defense ‘bullshit’ is now the federal crime we need special prosecutors for. Democracy’s finest hours.
