On Wednesday afternoon, ICE agents carrying out an operation in south Minneapolis were briefly obstructed by a car blocking traffic.
ICE agents approached the female driver, 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, yelling, “Get out of the fucking car,” and one of them attempted to open the driver’s-side door.

And federal agents can indeed be prosecuted for murder.
Of course, President Trump would be almost certain to act to punish Minnesota in some way if they dared to indict an ICE officer for murder.
The mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, has asked ICE agents to leave the city, but that’s unlikely to be followed.
An indictment would signal to agents that their actions are circumscribed by state law, including the law against murder. »
