Update (court order): Minnesota’s BCA + the Hennepin County Attorney went to federal court seeking to stop DHS/ICE/CBP (and related federal defendants) from destroying or altering evidence from the Jan 24 Minneapolis fatal shooting.
A federal judge granted a Temporary Restraining Order barring defendants (and anyone acting with them) from “destroying or altering evidence,” including items removed from the scene and/or taken into “exclusive custody.”
Hearing is set Monday (Jan 26) at 2:00pm; any objections are due by noon.
This is exactly the point I made above: after a federal shooting, the first fight is often who controls the scene + the evidence + the story.
