Hundreds of businesses in the Twin Cities are closed Friday to protest the presence of federal immigration agents in Minnesota, as thousands of demonstrators have taken to the streets of downtown Minneapolis in a show of solidarity.
Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said that there is 'no absolute immunity' for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who violate Minnesota law.Moriarty shared the message in a short video posted on YouTube Friday afternoon.
'The Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution does not erase state criminal law,' she said. 'State and local law enforcement still have jurisdiction to conduct investigations into potential criminal offenses by any federal agent, just as they would any other person who breaks Minnesota criminal law.'Moriarty added that the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is investigating the ICE shooting that happened in north Minneapolis on Jan. 14. Three U.S. officials told CBS News that an agent shot a man after allegedly being attacked by men with shovels during an arrest operation. 'When that investigation is submitted to our office, we will review it for potential charging,' Moriarty said. The BCA is also continuing to collect evidence in the fatal shooting of Renee Good.
