The transformation of #ICE into a type of #NationalPolice force, backed, in some cases, by #soldiers from the #NationalGuard, has been covered as #immigration story—but these forces are reshaping #democracy for all of us. This shift was evident even before the #shootings in #Minneapolis & #Portland this week.

Could #Federal prosecutors charge the officer? [if this were a different admin]

Federal prosecutors can charge law enforcement officers for fatal #shootings, but the bar is very high & charges are rare.

Prosecutors would need to show the officer knew his conduct was unlawful or acted with reckless disregard for the constitutional limits of his authority, which is difficult to prove in court.

The #Trump admin has defended the officer's actions.
