Minnesota Prosecutors Set March 3 Deadline for Federal Evidence in DHS Agent Shootings

State prosecutors set a March 3 Touhy deadline, warning they will sue if federal agencies keep withholding evidence.

Overview

  • Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty filed formal Touhy demands for records in the Alex Pretti killing and the Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis shooting, following an earlier request in the Renee Good case.
  • The FBI has formally declined to share Pretti case materials with Minnesota’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, so state investigators are continuing parallel inquiries without federal evidence.
  • Two immigration agents are on administrative leave as federal authorities investigate possible false testimony in the Sosa-Celis shooting.
  • U.S. Senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith urged Attorney General Pam Bondi to give state investigators full access to evidence in the Pretti case, calling for a thorough and impartial review.
  • An evidence portal run by state officials has received more than 1,000 public submissions, and organizers plan a Saturday march in Minneapolis marking nearly one month since Pretti’s death.
