Relevant bit in the piece:

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said it was forced to withdraw from investigating the shooting after the FBI took control of the case. Gov. Tim Walz urged that “Minnesota must be part of this investigation.”

A Minnesota law enforcement agency said Thursday that the FBI is blocking the agency from accessing evidence related to the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent on a residential street in Minneapolis.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said that the FBI’s stance, which came at the behest of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Minnesota, was a reversal of an initial agreement that the BCA would conduct a joint investigation of Good’s killing with the FBI.

BCA Superintendent Drew Evans also said the agency has “reluctantly withdrawn” from the investigation because of the lack of cooperation from federal officials.

“It feels very, very difficult that we will get a fair outcome, and I say that only because people in positions of power have already passed judgment from the president to the vice President to Kristy Noem, have stood and told you things that are verifiably false, verifiably inaccurate,” Walz said at a press conference.
