“Stephen Miller🚨signaling to ICE and CBP to basically ENACT VIOLENCE ON CITIZENS FREELY.
They DO NOT have immunity.
This is both sickening, and dangerous, and EXACTLY what Miller has wanted his entire life.
This is just pure filthy evil. This is not how the US functions.”

Could #Federal prosecutors charge the officer? [if this were a different admin]
Federal prosecutors can charge law enforcement officers for fatal #shootings, but the bar is very high & charges are rare.
Prosecutors would need to show the officer knew his conduct was unlawful or acted with reckless disregard for the constitutional limits of his authority, which is difficult to prove in court.
The #Trump admin has defended the officer's actions.
In addition to #federal #immunity, the agent could argue that his actions were reasonable under the #Constitution, that he acted in self-defense or that he did not act with intent to harm or kill.
Federal officers are immune from #civil lawsuits unless their conduct clearly violated a constitutional right.
This #legal standard, known as #QualifiedImmunity, has become a highly effective tool for shielding #police officers accused of using #ExcessiveForce.
Can the #ICE agent who shot & killed a #Minneapolis woman be prosecuted?
#Minnesota’s #UseOfForce #law permits #state #police to use deadly force ONLY IF reasonable officers would believe doing so was necessary to protect themselves, or others, from death or serious harm.
#Federal law has a similar standard, permitting use of deadly force when a reasonable officer would have probable cause to believe a person posed an immediate threat of death or serious injury.

#Federal agents are *generally* #immune from state prosecution for actions taken as part of their official duties. However, #immunity only applies when an officer's actions were authorized under federal law & were necessary & proper.
If #Minnesota charged the agent, he could seek to move the case to federal court & argue he is immune from prosecution.

Quite the opposite, in fact. #JackSmith, who spent >2 years aggressively collecting evidence to prove #Trump mishandled #ClassifiedDocuments & tried to overturn the results of the #2020election, appears eager to publicly challenge a foundational pillar of #MAGA canon: that Trump was a sinned-upon innocent who did nothing to deserve scrutiny, much less 2 prosecutions.

#JackSmith has told people in his orbit that he welcomes the opportunity to present the public case against #Trump denied to him by #SCOTUS decision asserting broad presidential #immunity from prosecution & adverse rulings from a Trump-appointed judge on the federal bench in Florida.

"Without the immunity decision, Trump would probably still be dragging out his appeals in his multitude of criminal cases, and the rest of us would be living in a world where the federal government remains functional. Instead, Trump has taken full advantage of that immunity, not just to dodge his crimes, but to crown himself a king, above all laws. And thus far, the Court seems more than happy to help."

"Roberts’ opinion provides an open invitation for Trump to do exactly what he’s doing now.
Worse, it actually lays out a clear and easy-to-follow road map on how he can and should pursue it without risking his own hide—tap into the most essential powers of the presidency to protect himself, no matter how lawlessly those powers are wielded."
