Case Overview

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and Hennepin County Attorney's Office sued the Department of Homeland Security over the Department's actions to deny state and local law enforcement from access evidence relevant to the shooting of a man by a federal immigration officer on January 24.


The Application

History

The DHS denied the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and Hennepin County Attorney's Office access to evidence from the January 24 shooting incident involving a federal immigration officer. This blanket denial prevented Minnesota state authorities from conducting a parallel investigation into the incident and conducting independent fact-finding within their jurisdiction.

The Conclusion

The court decided the case, determining whether Minnesota authorities must receive access to the evidence or whether the federal government's withholding was permissible under applicable law and constitutional federalism principles.
