This case challenges the Trump administration's refusal to cooperate with Minnesota’s investigation regarding three shootings by federal agents.

On March 24, 2026, the State of Minnesota, Hennepin County Attorney, and Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Superintendent filed suit against federal agencies and officials in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The lawsuit arose from three shootings involving federal agents during "Operation Metro Surge," a large-scale immigration enforcement operation conducted in Minnesota. On January 7, 2026, ICE Agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed 37-year-old U.S. citizen Renee Good. A federal immigration agent shot and wounded Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis seven days later, on January 14, 2026. Then, on January 24, 2026, federal immigration agents shot and killed U.S. citizen Alex Jeffrey Pretti.

Represented by public interest organizations such as the Washington Litigation Group and the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection, the plaintiffs alleged that federal officials departed from longstanding cooperative practices by blocking Minnesota investigators from accessing evidence and conducting their investigation into these shootings. The complaint asserted four counts against the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), then-Attorney General Pamela Bondi, and then-DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. These counts included Administrative Procedure Act (APA) claims alleging arbitrary and capricious action and violations of statutory authority, an alternative APA claim for unlawfully withheld agency action, and a Tenth Amendment claim alleging violation of state sovereignty in criminal law enforcement. The plaintiffs sought declaratory and injunctive relief, orders compelling compliance with evidence requests, access to testimony and records related to the shootings, and attorneys' fees. On June 18, 2026, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint replacing Bondi and Noem with Todd Blanche and Markwayne Mullin in their official capacities as Acting Attorney General and DHS Secretary, respectively. The amended complaint also provided more details about how defendants refused to cooperate with Minnesota’s investigation. The case was assigned to District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan.

This case is ongoing.
