#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.

To prevail, the #state would have to show the actions were outside his official duties or were objectively unreasonable or clearly unlawful.
If a judge ruled the officer was #immune, the case would be dismissed & the state would not be able to charge him again.
