The U.S. Department of Justice has pushed the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) aside and taken control of the investigation into the killing of Renee Nicole Good, 37, by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent.
In a statement Thursday morning, the Minnesota BCA said that the state agency was no longer being allowed to participate in the investigation.
"The FBI informed the BCA that the U.S. Attorney's Office had reversed course: the investigation would now be led solely by the FBI," the BCA said, according to The Minnesota Star Tribune.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem accused Good of being a domestic terrorist following her shooting on Wednesday.
However, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called the shooting "reckless."
On MS NOW, it was reported that local cops are being banned from interviewing witnesses, considering FBI has sole jurisdiction.
