Applaud Minnesota for Demanding Accountability and Justice

Minnesota leaders are standing up for truth, transparency, and the rule of law — and they deserve our applause.

The state has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration to gain access to critical evidence in the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, two residents shot by federal agents during an aggressive immigration enforcement surge. State officials say they’ve been blocked from obtaining key information needed to investigate what happened and determine whether crimes were committed.

No community should be left in the dark when lives are lost. Minnesota is making clear that federal agencies cannot operate without accountability — especially when serious questions remain about the use of force, conflicting accounts, and potential misconduct.

This case is about more than two tragic incidents. It’s about ensuring that state and local authorities can do their jobs, that evidence is preserved, and that justice is not obstructed by political interference or secrecy.

Add your name to applaud Minnesota leaders for standing up for accountability, fighting for transparency, and demanding justice for their communities.
