Minnesota weighs charges against federal officers, but immunity hurdles loom
Minnesota prosecutors have opened homicide investigations into shootings by federal agents in Minneapolis, but any state charges against ICE or Border Patrol officers face steep legal hurdles from the Supremacy Clause immunity—last tested in the 2017 Bijan Ghaisar case—plus limited DOJ cooperation. Some local officials formed a coalition seeking Supreme Court clarity on immunity, but no charges have yet been filed as the legal fight plays out in state and potentially higher courts.
