A deal with Minnesota may also target another critical area of state autonomy, namely the state’s authority over its own prosecutorial process, including access to crime scene investigations. Two Americans have been shot dead by the federal government, and the state of Minnesota will need to investigate and, if warranted, prosecute the agents who carried out these crimes. That will prove inconvenient for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), as any such investigation could reveal embarrassing information about the origins of the systematic violations of lawful rules for the use of force. Perhaps this is why DHS is barring state investigators from accessing the crime scene, despite their possession of an appropriate warrant from a federal judge.
