If federal agents (ICE, CBP) commit crimes in the course of immigration or law enforcement operations, can state and local police and prosecutors charge them with a crime?
Here's a deep dive into that question through the lens of one recent incident in Oakland.

A federal agent shot a pastor in the face with a chemical weapon. What can California do about it?
A violent response to an Oakland protest raises the same legal questions other states are grappling with as Trump’s immigration crackdown intensifies.

I fully understand how difficult it is to remain focused on any one particular atrocity but this really ought to be a serious scandal and people need to pay heavy prices for this
I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

If you hear about a Mexican Independence Day celebration in your area, go.
There is strength in numbers and — especially if you’re white — you can protect your community just by being there and not flinching if ICE shows up.
These goons are cowards. Don’t be one.

Everything about this story is horrific:

He proposes releasing some ICE prisoners to labor on farms where the employers will “own them” and be responsible for them.
Historians have spent decades meticulously proving the straight line between slavery and modern capitalism’s concept of the laborer—or we could just let them say it.

Still looking for one of those radical Marxist universities that the reactionaries are always talking about.
Harvard, aka Resistance U, is taking advantage of the Trumpist NLRB to crush its grad student union by stripping it of 800 members.
Sounds about right.

If a sitting president can openly muse about arresting and disappearing someone who is likely to become mayor of the country's largest city, while also getting the funding for a massive secret police, it'd be hard to find sufficient evidence to qualify that country as a democracy.
