Minnesota filed a second lawsuit March 24 against the Trump administration over access to evidence in the shootings of two protesters and an illegal immigrant during a federal immigration operation in January.

State authorities filed the federal complaint in a Washington, D.C., court, asking a judge to order the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Department Homeland Security (DHS) to hand over evidence related to the deaths of Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and Julio Sosa-Celis to allow the state to start a separate investigation.
