🔍 Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has voiced deep concern over the integrity of the investigation into a fatal shooting involving an ICE agent, saying it feels “difficult” to believe the process can be fair after state officials were excluded from the case.

🤝 Walz emphasized that removing the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) — a trusted, independent state agency — raises serious questions about transparency, accountability, and public trust. For communities seeking answers, trust in the process matters as much as the outcome.

🕊️ The case involves the death of a 37-year-old woman, a tragedy that has shaken families and communities alike. Walz stressed that a full and credible investigation requires cooperation between state and federal authorities, not silence or separation.

⚖️ “Justice must not only be done,” the governor implied, “it must be seen.” Without openness and shared oversight, confidence in the final conclusions may be lost — and with it, faith in the system meant to protect the public.

🤍 As calls for clarity grow, Minnesota leaders continue to urge a process rooted in fairness, inclusion, and truth — for the victim, for her loved ones, and for the community seeking answers.
