The Application
History
Minnesota claims a state sovereign interest in the evidence from the federal agent shootings within its jurisdiction. The DOJ likely asserts investigative privilege or exemptions to withhold the materials from disclosure. The court must weigh Minnesota's interest in access against federal assertions of protected materials.
The Conclusion
The case is active as of the filing date, with no ruling yet issued on Minnesota's access claims.
