Thompson’s resignation came after senior #DOJ officials pressed for a #criminal “investigation” into the actions of the #widow of #ReneeNicoleGood, the #Minneapolis woman killed by an #ICE agent Wednesday.

Thompson, 47, a career prosecutor, objected to that approach, as well as to the DOJ’s refusal to include #state officials in investigating whether the #shooting itself was lawful….

#Minnesota AG Keith Ellison told CNN he is trying to figure out who he “can get on the phone with & persuade to reverse this poor decision,” referring to #federal investigators excluding a #state agency from investigating Wednesday’s fatal #ICE #shooting in #Minneapolis.

“What I have seen is deeply disturbing & there is sufficient basis for further investigation & potential charges,” Ellison said of the case.

To prevail, the #state would have to show the actions were outside his official duties or were objectively unreasonable or clearly unlawful.

If a judge ruled the officer was #immune, the case would be dismissed & the state would not be able to charge him again.

Can the #ICE agent who shot & killed a #Minneapolis woman be prosecuted?

#Minnesota’s #UseOfForce #law permits #state #police to use deadly force ONLY IF reasonable officers would believe doing so was necessary to protect themselves, or others, from death or serious harm.

#Federal law has a similar standard, permitting use of deadly force when a reasonable officer would have probable cause to believe a person posed an immediate threat of death or serious injury.

#TimWalz has twice mentioned the #protests that followed the #murder of #GeorgeFloyd by a #Minneapolis #police officer in 2020, & lessons learned from that experience. The governor was criticized by some for not mobilizing the #NationalGuard more quickly at the time.

Bob Jacobson, the commissioner of the #Minnesota Dept of #PublicSafety, said a #state law enforcement agency was working with the #FBI to investigate the #shooting.

#Minnesota Gov #TimWalz directly addressed #Trump & #KristiNoem, #DHS secy, saying in a news conference: “You’ve done enough.” He said the #state does not need “any further help from the #federal government.”

Walz said the #shooting was “totally predictable” & “totally avoidable.” He said federal ofcls were NOT coordinating with local law enforcement.

The #WestVirginia Citizen Action Group then filed a lawsuit claiming Morrisey exceeded his #authority.

Under #state #law, the group argued, the governor could deploy the #NationalGuard out of state only for certain purposes, such as responding to a #NaturalDisaster or another state’s #emergency request.

Morrisey’s office has argued the deployment was authorized under federal law.
