Mary Moriarty

Mary Moriarty is the Hennepin County Attorney in Minnesota. She is currently newsworthy due to her office's investigation into the conduct of federal officers, particularly Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, in several shootings within the state, including the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Moriarty's office is seeking to hold federal officers accountable for potential misconduct during immigration enforcement actions. This has led to a legal battle with the Trump administration, as Moriarty's office claims the federal government has refused to cooperate by withholding crucial evidence needed for independent state investigations. The Justice Department has responded by subpoenaing Minnesota officials, including those in Minneapolis, as part of an investigation into whether they have impeded federal immigration efforts. This situation highlights the tension between state and federal authority regarding immigration enforcement and accountability for law enforcement actions.
