YouTube Description
as posted by the channelResident Legal Diva Melba Pearson answers a sharp viewer question from the Mangione dual sovereignty video: if the federal government shields ICE agents from prosecution after they kill someone, can states still charge them — and is that dual sovereignty working in reverse? Drawing on her prosecutorial background and the live Minnesota cases involving the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, Melba breaks down Supremacy Clause immunity, the two-part legal test courts use to decide whether federal officers are shielded from state prosecution, what JD Vance got wrong when he claimed ICE agents have 'absolute immunity,' and why Minnesota is still fighting to bring charges even as the federal government withholds evidence.
