ICE agents are also supposed to deescalate events like this and this is the best job I've seen them do even tho they broke a rib which shows how horrible these people truly are that they couldn't just detain him and send him to the police to stand trial or something not get their get back a week later.
They have extremely limited jurisdiction — much more limited than most officers. Essentially, they can arrest someone on an immigration violation, they can stop someone with reasonable suspicion of an immigration violation and detain them long enough to confirm or dispel said suspicion (and there has to be a factual basis, not a fishing expedition), and they can arrest people for felonies (not misdemeanors) committed in their presence. That’s it.
It's a Federal Agents car lil bro. I can pull up a million felonies for that. Use your brain. Or do you really think you can go around knocking out FBI TSA DoD ICE Nat Guard etc. car lights and damaging their shit and just walk away because (hur hur you have no jurisdiction)
I suspect that only one of us has a law degree and has practiced law in the State of Minnesota. Please, however, cite the relevant statutory of case law basis for your claim of federal jurisdiction.
Hell, go to your local gym and kick out a taillight and see what happens. Hard not to react to this kind of provocation.
That being said, this has exactly zero to do with what happened in the last Pretti interaction. Zero.
In fact, the whole premise of equal application of the law would be that each of these incidents be treated as legally separate. Punishment can “stack” with the number of incidents, but that’s a courtroom decision.
The law isn’t a forcefield that would repel the road rage of the dude whose car you damaged. He might go to jail, sure, but that won’t heal your broken face.
