That may be the case, I am not an expert in law. I hope there is some type of repercussion for the cop that point-blanks a random driver.
I just don't hold much faith in the separation of power between state and federal government, it sounds like there has been a massive erosion of this barrier since the civil war and the abuse of the commerce clause and all that.
this is not true. why is this upvoted? first of all, ICE is federal. second, they were acting as part of "federal official" duties. it will be trivial to move any state prosecution to federal court.
shot and killed - they haven't even been charged, let alone arraigned for murder yet (they would definitely get not guilty for that - manslaughter at worst given the cirumstances).
they can be charged with anything, but there's no way this guy is convicted of murder.
anyone who thinks otherwise hasn't been paying attention to the hundreds of analogous situations that have been happening to blacks.
literally just look it up, the exact scenario has already played out before. cop gets off. and I mean literally exact scenario - with two cops, one in front, one to the side, driver (black) tries to drive off, front cop shoots and kills the black guy, is convicted, and acquitted. seriously, look it up.
George Zimmerman stalked Treyvon Martin, shot and killed him and was still acquitted. you think this guy is going to be convicted really?
Yes, our justice system is outright broken since the Supreme Council handed obscene amounts of power to a wannabe dictator, putting him and his Stasi above the law. But that doesn't mean We The People cannot call it like it is - murder.
I think they may get away with it. Our head-of-state is already describing it as an act of self-defense.
The president can do jack shit to stop a state prosecution, one of the blessed advantages of federalism.

Maybe he cuts their federal funding by $10Bn until they drop the charge. Seems to be roughly the playbook.
They definitely get away with it. To be punished requires:
1. Prosecution. US wont because of trump. State might not because of some threat from trump.
2. Proof beyond reasonable doubt. Video can make case for self defence so bar is high.
3. No presidential pardon.
1. Minnesota will absolutely prosecute, Walz has already announced a criminal investigation.
2. We'll let the jury decide but ICE is specifically trained not to shoot at moving vehicles and not to approach them from the front.
3. The president can't pardon someone convicted of murder in a state court, he can only pardon people convicted of federal crimes.

Was it an ICE officer or national guard member?
ICE officer. What a bizarre question to ask.
Not at all bizarre. The national guard has been deployed in several areas of the country to assist ICE.

They will 100% be charged with murder.
