In a statement sent by the BCA Thursday morning, officials said, the FBI informed the agency it would no longer be part of the joint investigation, and will lose access to case materials, scene evidence and investigative interviews.
I'm almost certain they can't do that. They don't have jurisdiction. It wasn't a federal crime (murder). No federal crime, no jurisdiction for the feds. It may take a lawsuit, but if MN chooses to pursue, I think they would win. (Again, with the caveat that I'm not a lawyer, and not following this closely.)
Though, it seems to me that we're getting really close to having a secret police (i.e. gestapo).
