Two high-profile Democrats are calling for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer involved in a fatal Wednesday shooting in Minneapolis to be prosecuted.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) called the shooting a “murder”
…
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), a Silicon Valley representative, called for the officer to be arrested.
…
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), who represents Minneapolis, condemned ICE’s actions as “unconscionable and reprehensible,” and called for “legal action.”
Cool, I guess? But, critically, we’re not hearing anything from the Minneapolis DA’s office or the Minnesota AG.
There was a press conference this afternoon where they basically said if the feds don’t let them have access to the agent, etc that they wouldn’t be able to build a strong enough case for trial.

They’re still hungover from the BIG party last night. Wait till they sober up.
