Keith Ellison is outraged that the State of Minnesota is not being included in the shooting investigations there by federal officials. This is rich, considering that one of the main reasons for all of this chaos, is that Minnesota has refused to work with federal officials in ICE.

In Ellison’s world, it’s fine for Minnesota to shut out the feds, but the feds aren’t allowed to do the same thing to the state.

He actually invokes the Constitution and talks about state sovereignty here. Where was the Democrat concern for state sovereignty when the Biden administration was shuffling millions of illegal aliens into the country?

Transcript via Real Clear Politics:

MINNESOTA ATTORNEY GENERAL KEITH ELLISON: So let me just note that Superintendent Drew Evans of the BCA—another exemplary professional in our state—the BCA is the state’s investigative agency, and it is their job to investigate crime. They have a specialized unit to investigate use-of-force cases.

They arrived on site after the shooting and were refused access. They then secured a judicial warrant—a warrant signed by a judge—which has never been needed before, and were still refused access.

This is uncharted territory.

Now, friends, this comes at the tail end of other offenses, like a shooting in North Minneapolis and another homicide in South Minneapolis—Renee Nicole Good—where they also were denied access to the scene, and investigators are, to this moment, still being denied access to the investigative file.

This is not a rash decision for us to go to court and to seek a temporary restraining order from a judge to preserve evidence and prevent the destruction of evidence. I don’t care if you’re a conservative, liberal, or whatever, but you should at least be in favor of conserving evidence in a homicide.

And to have to go get an order from a judge to preserve that evidence is extraordinary and should alarm everyone who believes in equal justice under the law, and who believes that every person—no matter how this case ultimately is resolved—deserves to have their case investigated to get to the truth of what happened.

This is an extraordinary moment in an unprecedented time, and we’re doing all we can to step up to that moment…

The Tenth Amendment: we are entitled, as a state, to equal sovereignty, and we have been denied that. The federal government is literally commandeering and coercing the state of Minnesota to bend to its will, which is the prerogative of the people of the state of Minnesota.

Minnesota does not get to have it both ways. If they want cooperation from the federal government, maybe they should start cooperating with ICE.
