Insights
1Federal Obstruction of State Investigation
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison states that his office and the state's Bureau of Investigation are being blocked from conducting an independent investigation into the shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent. The federal government is not providing access to witness statements, videos, evidence, bullets, or forensics.
Ellison's direct statement: 'You're being blocked from the ability to do an independent investigation of a federal officer...Are you being blocked? Um, I don't. Yeah, I think the answer has got to be yes.'
2Refutation of Absolute Immunity for Federal Agents
Ellison directly refutes claims by figures like JD Vance and Stephen Miller that federal agents possess 'absolute immunity' from state prosecution. He clarifies that while federal agents have a supremacy clause defense if acting within their job duties, this immunity is not absolute, and state officials have successfully charged federal agents in the past.
Ellison states: 'There is no absolute immunity as was wrongly stated by JD Vance and Stephen Miller. That's not true. There are numerous occasions where state officials have charged federal agents.' He cites 'Inray Nagel' as a precedent.
3Trump Administration's Narrative Control and Misinformation
The host and Ellison criticize the Trump administration for releasing selective video evidence (from the agent's perspective via 'Alpha News') and making premature, inflammatory statements (e.g., Christy Noem calling it 'domestic terrorism') that contradict later calls for patience by other officials (Tom Homan). They argue this undermines trust and transparency.
Host: 'The Trump administration was going to release it as if it exonerated him as they try this case in the press instead of doing the right thing and do a full and fair investigation.' Ellison: 'It's the administration that releases the video from Jonathan Ross's perspective. Why is that releasable to the public, but other parts are not?'
4Foreseeable Tragedy from Inadequate Training and Policy
Ellison argues that the shooting was a foreseeable tragedy resulting from the Trump administration's policies, including a 'rush in recruitment,' inadequate training for ICE agents in public interaction and de-escalation, and the deployment of agents not accustomed to local law enforcement protocols or First Amendment protests.
Ellison: 'The surge, the lack of cooperation with law and law local law enforcement, the lack of engagement with community, the lack of and then the escalating the raw number of ICE agents...rush in recruitment and a rush in train training and a rush in evaluating the psychological fitness...This was foreseeable.'
Lessons
- If you have evidence (video, knowledge) related to the Renee Good shooting, contact the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension or the Hennepin County Attorney's Office to assist the state's independent investigation.
- Understand that claims of 'absolute immunity' for federal agents are legally incorrect; state authorities can pursue charges if agents act outside their lawful duties.
- Recognize the importance of local and state elections, as officials like Attorney General Keith Ellison play a critical role in upholding accountability and challenging federal overreach.
- Engage in peaceful protest and exercise First Amendment rights, but be aware of potential provocations and avoid actions that could be used to justify extreme government responses.
- Support independent journalism and media outlets that conduct thorough investigations and provide diverse perspectives on incidents involving law enforcement.
Quotes
"If the president, the vice president, and the secretary of homeland security all say that Jonathan Ross is innocent and used deadly force to protect himself or others reasonably and within the law, then why not have a wholesome, independent, and inclusive investigation so that he may be exonerated?"
"There is no absolute immunity as was wrongly stated by JD Vance and Stephen Miller. That's not true. There are numerous occasions where state officials have charged federal agents."
"I think what he secretly wants is for someone to hurt one of his one of them cuz that could justify dramatic escalation and invocation of the insurrection act. That is what I fear is happening."
"Not voting, sitting it out, saying I don't I'm not into politics. That that's not an act of protest. That's an act of surrender."
