Excellent, clarifying piece on the (real) legal pathway that Minnesota has to prosecute the ICE agent who shot and killed a woman today.
No, federal agents do not have absolute immunity from start charges, no matter what the Trump administration claims.

Wrote a piece for @slate.com explaining that states have a long history of prosecuting federal officers when they allegedly use excessive force. Federal officers are only immune from such prosecutions when they act reasonably in carrying out lawful duties.
Minnesota Could Prosecute the ICE Shooter. Trump Can’t Pardon Him.
Shortly after an ICE officer shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, city leaders began looking into whether the officer had violated state criminal law.

As Trump’s popularity drops and backlash mounts, he will turn even more authoritarian. The techniques he’s tested on immigrants will be turned on American citizens.

ICE MURDER:
“She was trying to turn around, & the ICE agent was in front of her car, & he pulled out a gun & put it right in –like his midriff was on her bumper– & he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times,” Heller told MPR News, Minneapolis public radio.
