Can The Minneapolis DA Issue An Arrest Warrant For An ICE Agent?

This is not a Federal crime, and it's not something Trump can dispense a pardon for.

No! If the agent was performing acts reasonably within the scope of their duties, they are immune from state prosecution. The basis is the supremacy clause of the US Constitution. The Feds determine whether or not the acts were reasonably necessary. Lots of case law on this.

Don't you know the constitution like you claim to know it

Look up the supremacy clause

@pdockal You look it up. It's not a get out of jail free card. The law does allow states to prosecute federal officials if they acted beyond their "lawful federal duties,"

@bowman81 It's possible the feds will allow this agent to escape justice. But it will be another losing issue for the right between now and November 3.

@pdockal The supremacy clause is about Federal law where it applies.

If you knew as much about the Constitution as you claim, you'd know THAT and that the powers granted to the Federal government are specific, enumerated powers, with ALL the rest reserved for the States or the People.

Supremacy of the law is required for Federal law to have its intended affect (in those areas in which the Federal government CAN act). It means that, in a conflict with State law(s) in an area properly granted to the Federal
government, Federal law MUST prevail.

But there is NO ability to grant rights to ILLEGAL activities.

In fact, no contract with an illegal aim is enforceable; so, too, any "law" which would purport to grant such power would be, de facto, unconstitutional.
