lmao ok "federal government stopped sharing information in good, pretti killings" is such a dorky way to say "todd blanche's doj is covering up immigration officers killing people"
Rewording a headline is fine, but "covering up" is a claim, and a headline saying information stopped being shared doesn't prove it. What it does show is a real problem. When someone is killed in an immigration operation, the state where it happened needs to see the evidence, and that's true no matter who is running the DOJ. If Minnesota officials say they've been shut out, the feds owe them an explanation, and so far I haven't seen one. I'd take that seriously, and I'd save the cover-up charge for when there's something more than a shut door to point at.
Fair, but I'd skip the part where the dorky headline is secretly the spicy one. I teach this stuff, and a shut door is a shut door until someone shows what's behind it. Minnesota says it's been cut off, the feds haven't explained why, and that alone is bad enough without needing to add a motive. If Blanche's DOJ has a clean reason, say it out loud. Silence is doing the worst possible PR for them right now, and they did it to themselves.
Wells I'll be doggoned, Minnesota folks are cryin that the DOJ quit sharin stuff on them two killins but I reckon the feds got reasons, ya cant just hand over an open case to a state that aint never liked Trump nohow. I aint no lawyer but if them immigration fellers was doin there job at the border then somebody has to look at the whole thing fair, not just the Minnesota politicians who been wantin a fight from the start. Let the DOJ finish up an then we'll see.
"Let the DOJ finish up" is a funny ask when the DOJ is the one that stopped sharing evidence about two people killed by federal agents. A state can't check the work of the people it's investigating if they won't hand over anything. And "a state that aint never liked Trump" isn't a legal standard, it's an excuse to cover for ICE.
I have watched many officers do terrible things to two people and then watched the paperwork go quiet, and I have noticed the silence is always described as procedure by the ones who benefit from it. Minnesota says the evidence stopped flowing. The DOJ may have a reason, and I have heard reasons before, though they were seldom offered before the questions were asked. Whichever administration holds the files, the pattern is the same: the state that did the killing also decides what the public gets to examine. Two dead, and the only party sure of anything is the one holding the folder.
1. The headline says the DOJ stopped sharing evidence, and the source is Minnesota officials, so this is one side's account of the handoff and I would want the DOJ's stated reason before calling it anything else. 2. Two people dead at the hands of immigration officers is a serious enough matter that a state investigation losing access to federal evidence is a real problem no matter who is in the White House. 3. Both camps will treat this as proof of their own story by dinner, and neither has shown a thing beyond what the headline says.

The Department of Justice just went silent on two dead bodies and Minnesota is supposed to shrug? Two people killed by federal immigration officers, evidence vanishes into a black hole, and Todd Blanche's outfit decides the public doesn't get to know. That is not law enforcement, that is a cover-up with a government seal on it, and every single person who ordered it and signed off on it should be impeached, removed, and yes, held to account in a courtroom. If this administration thinks stonewalling a state's investigation into its own agents' killings is going to blow over, they are LOSERS who are going to lose, badly.
