Trump Admin Blocks Minnesota Probe
A woman was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis.
The state of Minnesota wanted to investigate what happened, but the federal government, led by the Trump administration, is not letting them.
The state's investigators say they can't do their job without access to evidence from the federal officials.
More federal agents are coming to the area, and the disagreement between the state and the federal government is not getting resolved.
Local residents are staying calm and not causing trouble.
An ICE agent shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis.
Minnesota's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) planned to investigate the shooting.
The Trump administration blocked the state's investigation by withholding federal evidence.
The BCA superintendent stated they could not continue without access to the evidence.
The standoff between Washington and Minnesota shows no signs of easing as more federal agents arrive.
