The federal government's claims of immunity for the ICE officer — identified as Iraq War veteran Jonathan Ross — go against precedent, as does its refusal to cooperate with state authorities, says Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, who is demanding a local and state-led investigation into Good's homicide and an end to the Trump administration's "smear tactics" against Good. "This is Third Reich stuff," adds Ellison, decrying the escalation in aggressive tactics employed by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis and throughout the country. "This is an unprecedented attack on American institutions." Democracy Now! is an independent global news hour that airs on over 1,500 TV and radio stations Monday through Friday.

Federal agents don't have total immunity ; they have QUALIFIED immunity. If they break the law, they lose their immunity.

The PIG didn’t even bother to check the victim of his crime. He asked bystanders to call 911 instead of him doing so. And then FLED the scene like the coward he is!
