Fatal Ice Shooting In MN Sparks State-Federal Clash
2 weeks ago
A fatal shooting by a federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer in Minneapolis has triggered a tense clash between state and federal authorities. Minnesota officials are demanding a full, independent investigation, but federal authorities have blocked the state from participating.
Experts say the dispute underscores a longstanding legal question: whether a federal agent can face state criminal charges while carrying out federally authorized duties. The case comes as the federal government has increasingly deployed ICE agents across the country for immigration enforcement.
