They were refused access, and then they obtained a judicial warrant and were refused access as well.

Again, we are seeing something similar play out that happened after the killing of Renee Macklin Good, where the state is being shut out of the investigation.

So there's a lot of frustration there.

And there is a lot of effort that's been going on through the courts to try to at least temporarily halt the immigration crackdown in the state that's been ramped up since the beginning of December.

Governor Walz's office responded to the Truth Social Post.

His office said he had a productive call with the president earlier today.

The governor made the case that the state needs impartial investigations of the Minneapolis shootings involving federal agents and that they need to reduce the number of federal agents in Minnesota.

And the president agreed, according to his office, that he would talk to the Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem.

about ensuring the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension being able to conduct an independent investigation as would ordinarily be the case.

And that is a big thing here where the state has been regularly asking to not be shut out of the investigation.

So very interesting to see that there seems to be some kind of an agreement that a productive call was made, especially when the Attorney General Keith Ellison here in Minnesota just yesterday was saying when he met with Vice President J.D.

Vance last week that it wasn't a very productive conversation.

Yeah.

So just a quick snapshot on 2026 in Minnesota.

There is a gubernatorial race.

Governor Tim Walz is not going to be running for that third term that he originally had said he would.

We're all waiting to see if and when Senator Amy Klobuchar gets into the race.

She has already filed paperwork on the Democratic side.
