2 critical court hearings set on federal immigration enforcement in Minnesota
A federal court hearing is set for Monday after a judge granted a temporary restraining order preventing Trump administration officials from destroying any evidence related to Saturday’s fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis by a federal agent.
A separate hearing is also scheduled on Monday on whether to temporarily halt the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said that the government is not destroying evidence with respect to the Pretti case and called the state of Minnesota's claims they are "a show."
"There's an ongoing investigation, as we've said all weekend,” Blanche told "Fox and Friends" on Monday. "And obviously, we're not destroying evidence. And so, to the extent that the state of Minnesota wants to make this a show and go in front of a judge to insist that we do something we're absolutely not ever going to do, we'll be there."
