#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.

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.

Scientists at the University of Florida created a personalized #mRNA #vaccine that, in early #human trials, rapidly reprogrammed patients’ #immune systems to attack #glioblastoma within 48 hours; tested on four individuals and inspired by #COVID19 vaccine technology, it bypasses chemotherapy and radiation, shows promise as a potential universal #cancer treatment, and has sparked both hope andskepticism as trials expand, including to children. Will #maga shut this down as well...
