According to my sources, the FBI was initially open to a concurrent investigation with the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (the state agency that would do this investigation).
Trumpy U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen heard about this and intervened, barring the FBI from cooperating with local police.

An ICE officer allegedly pointed a gun at a man in Chicago, and said (approx) "bang bang ... you're dead, liberal."
In a functioning democracy, an officer who threatened politicized death like this would be fired immediately. Here? Prob never even know who he was.
