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.

ICE has been terrorizing our communities for weeks, and it's resulted in a federal agent shooting and killing a civilian.

What happened in Minneapolis this morning was inexcusable, infuriating, and heartbreaking.
