Experts say the line being drawn between #Minnesota & the #US government goes against years of cooperation between local & #federal agencies on law enforcement missions.
But they also said the state’s hand has been forced by an admin that has acted against decades of practice—from declining to allow #state officials access to evidence gathered by federal authorities to barring its own #CivilRights division from probing the #shootings of #AlexPretti & #ReneeGood….
…The Minnesota Department of Corrections launched a website its leaders said was dedicated to combatting #DHS #misinformation after #AlexPretti was killed. The site includes examples where MN ofcls honored federal requests to hold people under deportation orders to refute the #Trump admin claim that those people are routinely allowed to go free.

MN DOC officials also published videos showing peaceful transfers of custody from prison to #federal authorities of several individuals the #Trump admin had claimed were arrested by #immigration agents as part of the ongoing immigration enforcement action.
The department also issued a news release trying to dispel federal claims about the criminal records of people sought by federal agents, including the person at the center of an operation Saturday near where Pretti was shot.
The release said the MN DOC never had custody of the man & could only find decade-old misdemeanor traffic-related violations. US #BorderPatrol Chief Gregory #Bovino had claimed at a news conference Saturday that the man had a significant criminal history.

Jimmy Gurulé, a law professor at the University of Notre Dame, said he saw turf battles & other disagreements when he was a federal prosecutor working with local authorities on task forces in Los Angeles, & again when he was an undersecretary at the US Treasury Dept overseeing law enforcement operations under George W. Bush. But, he said, the situation in #Minnesota is “unprecedented” in his experience.
