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.

Noem is a liar. The whole regime are liars. They are murdering people inside this country and outside of it, citizens and non-citizens, with guns and missiles.
They are law breakers, criminals, power hungry and corrupt, causing chaos and death.
