Mary Moriarty is the Hennepin County Attorney for Hennepin County, Minnesota. She is currently newsworthy due to her office's investigation into potential misconduct by federal immigration officers, including Border Patrol official Greg Bovino, during an immigration enforcement crackdown. Her office is reportedly looking into 17 cases. This investigation coincides with a Justice Department subpoena of Minneapolis officials, including Mayor Jacob Frey, regarding policies related to immigration enforcement. Simultaneously, concerns are being raised by state and local leaders about the fairness and impartiality of the FBI's investigation into the shooting death of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent, adding to the tension surrounding immigration enforcement in the state. Moriarty's investigation and the related federal actions highlight the ongoing conflict between state and federal authorities regarding immigration enforcement practices in Minnesota.
