The evidence includes body camera footage from federal agents and Renee Good's bullet-damaged car, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said at a press conference Monday. The material was handed over after six months of discussions, jurisdictional disputes, and a lawsuit between state officials and the Trump administration.
Good, 37, was fatally shot by an ICE agent in her vehicle on January 7 while leaving an anti-immigration enforcement protest. Alex Pretti, also 37, was killed by Border Patrol agents during protests on January 24. Both were acting as citizen observers at the time of their deaths.
Moriarty's office is still investigating the killings and has not announced whether charges will be brought against the federal agents involved. However, ICE agent Christian Castro has already been charged with four counts of second-degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime in connection with the nonfatal shooting of Venezuelan citizen Julio Sosa-Celis on January 14.
The shootings occurred during Trump's Operation Metro Surge last winter, which involved hundreds of armed immigration agents patrolling Minnesota cities. The state's Democratic leaders have denounced the operation, citing widespread violations of constitutional rights and promising accountability.
