🚨NEW: Federal officers like ICE agents have been routinely prosecuted by states for violating state laws, up to and including murder, since the 1800s. Minnesota has every ability to do this with today's killing of a motorist by an ICE agent. prospect.org/2026/01/07/i...

ICE Agents Can Be Charged With Murder - The American Prospect
As a killing in Minneapolis is documented, the law clearly stipulates that federal agents do not have universal immunity.
