Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and the White House gave conflicting accounts of a fatal shooting involving federal immigration agents. The incident occurred Wednesday in Minneapolis.
The public disagreement means state and federal authorities have stopped working together on the investigation. Officials announced the breakdown in cooperation during two separate press conferences held just one hour apart.
Governor Walz and White House representatives disagreed on key facts surrounding the shooting. They did not specify the exact points of contention.
The lack of a joint investigation could complicate efforts to determine what happened. Neither side indicated when or if cooperation would resume.
