There are many victims whose stories need to be told. We will investigate and pursue charges where appropriate.

If you saw or experienced unlawful conduct by federal agents, please submit any photo or video evidence here: forms.office.com/pages/respon...

Yesterday we announced the Transparency and Accountability Project or TAP. We are investigating cases of potentially unlawful behavior by federal agents.

The use of a chemical irritant by U.S. Border Patrol Cmdr. Greg Bovino is among 17 instances of “potential unlawful behavior” by federal agents during Operation Metro Surge currently being investigated for criminal charges, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said Monday.

Crime figures across the country are at 50-year lows. If someone is suggesting otherwise, ask for the data.

That includes Bovino, who for several weeks served as the face of Operation Metro Surge for the Trump administration before being removed and replaced by White House border czar Tom Homan following the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal agents.

The project will be staffed by county prosecutors and a civilian investigator and is already investigating 17 incidents by federal agents.

The canister released green gas that, as Duke University School of Medicine professor and tear gas expert Sven-Eric Jordt told my colleague Samantha Michaels, may contain the carcinogenic reproductive toxicants lead and chromium.

County Attorney Mary Moriarty mentioned Bovino’s actions at Monday’s news conference. Footage captured by activist Ben Luhmann shows Bovino throwing a gas canister at protesters and observers in Minneapolis’ Mueller Park on January 21.

Gregory Bovino’s use of chemical irritants during the Department of Homeland Security’s “Operation Metro Surge” in Minnesota is among 17 criminal investigations now underway in Hennepin County, where Minneapolis is located, the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office announced Monday.

If you kill someone with your car you will be held accountable. Slow down.
