Section 1-16.200 of the DOJ Manual on use of force regulations governing federal police makes it even more clear that the killing in Minneapolis was murder. The DOJ manual prohibits discharging a weapon under those circumstances.

“We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,” the distraught woman sobs.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.

A federal judge has blocked Trump administration efforts to reallocate Department of Homeland Security counterterrorism and security grants away from states that won't cooperate on the president's immigration enforcement policies.
