对联邦调查局(FBI)将亚历克斯·普雷蒂被杀案调查中收集的证据与明尼苏达州调查人员共享的希望已彻底破灭。
尽管在与白宫边境事务负责人汤姆·霍曼(Tom Homan)会面后最初曾有表态,但明尼苏达州刑事调查局(BCA)周一在一份声明中表示,联邦调查局上周已通知该局不会分享相关信息。
BCA称,该局于周五收到了联邦调查局的通知。
“尽管这种缺乏合作的情况令人担忧且前所未有,”州调查人员在声明中表示,“但明尼苏达州刑事调查局仍致力于对这些事件进行彻底、独立和透明的调查,即使无法获取关键信息和证据。”
CNN已联系联邦调查局寻求置评。
州调查人员表示,他们“将继续寻求所有合法途径以获取相关信息和证据”。普雷蒂被移民局特工击毙当天,县官员和BCA提起诉讼,起诉联邦政府以获取案件调查材料。
联邦调查局的拒绝——此举打破了此类调查的先例——与政府对国土安全部官员近期杀人事件处理不善且常常混乱的情况一致。
此前,联邦官员拒绝向BCA分享任何证据,并拒绝开启针对击毙普雷蒂的边境巡逻队官员的民权调查。几天后,在持续的反对声中,司法部副部长托德·布兰奇(Todd Blanche)软化了立场,表示将对普雷蒂之死展开民权调查,但称这只是常规的联邦调查程序。
“我们正在调查所有有助于还原当日情况的线索,”布兰奇上月宣布调查时表示。
“我不想夸大目前的情况,”他补充道,“我不希望大家认为这是一场大规模的民权调查。我会将其描述为联邦调查局的常规调查。”
普雷蒂被杀后的几天里,国土安全部调查机构牵头调查,联邦调查局扮演辅助角色。1月份普雷蒂被杀后,当BCA试图进入现场时,遭到联邦官员阻挠。
普雷蒂死后几天,联邦调查局接管了案件,但仍拒绝与BCA分享信息。
“明尼苏达州需要对美国公民在街头被射杀的事件进行公正调查,”州长蒂姆·瓦尔兹(Tim Walz)周一在X平台(原推特)上表示,“特朗普政府左手无法调查其右手。死者家属理应得到更好的对待。”
BCA在声明中称,联邦与州地方调查人员之间的缺乏合作还延伸到了勒妮·古德(Renee Good)被杀案以及胡利奥·索萨-塞利斯(Julio Sosa-Celis)腿部被美国移民和海关执法局(ICE)特工枪击的案件。
当ICE特工击毙古德时,联邦调查局迅速排除了明尼苏达州当地调查人员,实际上终止了他们的调查。随后,联邦调查局将调查重点转向古德及其周围人员是否对特工构成犯罪,而非调查特工的射击行为本身。

Hopes that the FBI would share evidence in Alex Pretti’s killing with state investigators have shattered

Hopes that the FBI would share information gathered in the investigation into Alex Pretti’s killing with state investigators in Minnesota have shattered.
Despite initial statements in the wake of meeting with White House border czar Tom Homan, Minnesota’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said in a statement Monday the FBI informed it last week that it would not share information.
The BCA said it received notice from the bureau on Friday.
“While this lack of cooperation is concerning and unprecedented,” state investigators said in their statement, “the BCA is committed to thorough, independent and transparent investigations of these incidents, even if hampered by a lack of access to key information and evidence.”
CNN has reached out to the FBI for comment.
State investigators said they “will continue to pursue all legal avenues to gain access to relevant information and evidence.” County officials and the BCA filed a lawsuit the day Pretti was fatally shot by immigration agents, suing the federal government for access to investigative material in the case.
The FBI’s refusal — which breaks precedent in such investigations — is in line with the administration’s poor and often confused handling of the recent killings by Department of Homeland Security officers and agents.
Previously, federal officials refused to share any evidence with the BCA and declined to open a civil rights investigation that would focus on the Border Patrol officers who shot and killed Pretti. Days later, amid continued backlash, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche softly reversed course, saying a civil rights investigation into Pretti’s death would be opened, but that it would simply follow the course of a normal federal investigation.
“We’re looking at everything that would shed light on that day,” Blanche said last month when announcing the investigation.
“I don’t want to overstate what is happening,” he added. “I don’t want the takeaway to be there is some massive civil rights investigation. I would describe it as a standard investigation by the FBI.”
Homeland Security’s investigative agency was leading the probe with the FBI acting in a supporting role in the days after Pretti’s killing. When the BCA tried to access the scene after Pretti was killed in January, it was blocked by federal officials.
Days after Pretti’s death, the FBI took over the case but still declined to share information with the BCA.
“Minnesota needs impartial investigations into the shootings of American citizens on our streets,” Gov. Tim Walz said Monday on X. “Trump’s left hand cannot investigate his right hand. The families of the deceased deserve better.”
The lack of cooperation between federal and state local investigators extends to the killing of Renee Good and the case of Julio Sosa-Celis, who was shot in the leg by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent, BCA said in its statement.
When an ICE officer shot and killed Good, the FBI quickly cut out the local Minnesota investigators, essentially ending their investigation. The FBI then shifted the focus of its probe to whether Good and those around her committed a crime against the officer, as opposed to his conduct in the shooting.
