...even though ICE says it doesn't need warrants, and ignores court orders, they can be trusted on this, right?

Judge wipes away order requiring feds to preserve evidence gathered at Alex Pretti shooting scene

A Minnesota judge has wiped away an order he issued last month that required federal investigators to preserve evidence gathered at the scene of Alex Pretti’s fatal shooting by immigration officers.

US District Judge Alex Tostrud said he was lifting the emergency order he issued the day of Pretti’s shooting that barred various federal investigatory offices from destroying or altering any evidence related to the incident because he had gotten assurances from federal officials that evidence would be properly maintained.

The article says the judge is a Trump appointee. I wonder of those "assurances" had pictures of dead statesmen on them? Or maybe there was an offer "play ball and I'll do great things for you"?

Steve...standing by for the inevitable whitewash.

No. The judge presumed the evidence had already been destroyed or was no longer admissible as evidence in court (for various reasons). Thus, the attorneys representing Alex Pretti's family can factually state the evidence was destroyed by the govt and THAT can be held against the govt at trial. $$$$$$$$.
