Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey on Sunday called for the federal government to allow state agencies to help investigate an ICE officer’s fatal shooting of a woman in his city last week, citing a “deep mistrust” of federal agencies in Minnesota.

Asked by “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker if he would accept the results of an FBI investigation of the incident, Frey said, “If it was an FBI investigation that was done jointly with an investigation from the [Minnesota] Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, we could have some trust that there were entities and individuals at the table that were properly reviewing the evidence.” The mayor said he didn’t have preconceived notions about what conclusion an investigation by any agency would reach, but “there is deep mistrust” of federal agencies in Minnesota, “because so many of the things that we are hearing are not true.”

His comments come days after 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Minneapolis on Wednesday. Federal officials, including President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, have claimed that Good was driving her car at ICE agents, intent on ramming into them. Local officials, including Frey, have said that she was just trying to leave the scene and that no ICE officers were in harm’s way at the time of the shooting.

“The ICE agent was not run over, as Trump stated,” Frey said Sunday. “You had a person that was definitively trying to just get out of there. They were trying to leave the scene.” The mayor pointed to multiple publicly available videos of the shooting, including a cellphone video taken by the officer who shot Good. “You don’t need to take my word for it. You don’t need to take their word for it. Watch the video,” Frey said.

1. I think that "deep mistrust" is the wrong terminology.

It implies a level of doubt.
I have complete trust in the federal investigation. Complete trust that the feds will cover up for their officer, slant the narrative in their favor, ignore any facts counter to their narrative, and just plain lie.
