The Government will dismiss it. The SC immunity defense belongs to the USAO when removed.

Btw I'm on record saying I'd take this Bivens suit, and I'd certainly give myself a 50-50 shot at trying him criminally under 242 (it's far easier to get a 242 conviction than a Bivens judgment).

Actually a county pros brought that case, survived attempts to dismiss it including def/doj appeal. After a decade of proceedings, the newly elected DA decided to drop it. It wasn’t the DOJ that killed it. The big long term hurdle here is the 8th Circuit. They’d find a disingenuous way to kill it.

The DOJ absolutely killed it, and there was no "decade of proceedings." The state lost an immediate MTD on immunity, lost the appeal, and then got an en banc reversal from the Ninth saying that the judge should have held a hearing first but outlining the same basic, clearly unwinnable-under-the-circumstances standard as the panel--causing the state to "decide[] to drop it," as you put it, something like a week after the en banc ruling. (I reluctantly decided to drop my incipient lawsuit against Sophie Rain in the Hague Court for injunctive relief requiring her to fuck me, for similar reasons.) The prosecution was overwhelmingly popular in the Idaho panhandle, where the locals were (rightly) outraged about the standoff, and the prosecution would have been pursued if there were any path at all forward, which there was not.

This is not a simple-assault or reckless-driving case against a postal worker, where the State actually has the evidence it needs to prosecute (those cases, though, sometimes do thread the needle of being removable under 1442 but not subject to supremacy clause immunity, and I am aware of cases where the USA has allowed the state to prosecute in federal court without intervening). The feds have everything, and the State has no vehicle to force the feds to give it to them (in a normal US v. Citizen criminal case, at *some* point the US effectively does have to accede to a criminal defendant's Touhy subpoena, because even though the judge can't order the testimony/evidence per se, he can dismiss the prosecution if the refusal results in an unfair trial (and the standard is actually slightly defense-friendlier than that). This obviously doesn't work in a 1442 removal where the USA is on the defendant's side and doesn't want the prosecution in the first place.)

In other words, supremacy clause immunity (which I guess I should have defined, but specifically refers to federal-officer immunity from state-law prosecutions) is powerful even when it's being asserted as a personal defense without the USA's approval, although the doctrine is vague as shit and varies from circuit to circuit, not unlike QI. But when the feds are backing the claim, it becomes completely insurmountable, and in fact -- and this has been asserted to me in an official DOJ training on the subject, although it's a categorical statement so who knows if it's exactly true -- there has not been a conviction obtained in a state-law prosecution of a federal officer, where the United States is asserting supremacy clause immunity on his behalf, since Reconstruction.

Thanks! I do appreciate the small cadre of remaining lawpoasters (LTM is actually pretty decent).

I should concede that actual training on this subject focuses 90% on when to bring 242 claims against state popo, and 10% on when to prosecute federal agents--as to whom the bar is in fact conceptually lower, since you don't have comity/federalism concerns about whether the state AG wants, or should appropriately take, the case or what have you. It's basically just asserted, in swinging-dick fashion, that if the feds don't prosecute a federal agent, no one else gets to, and you need to tell the state AG that early on so that they don't get the wrong idea.

It is not actually the subject of any in-depth training what happens if no one is DETERRED from action, but instead makes runs you through the paces until forced by direct court order to stop, as the country descends into Civil War II. (The obama admin was a different time.)

The state prosecutor still prosecutes the case under state law, just in federal court. Immunity is a defense raised by the defendant, not something federal prosecutors raise, and they can’t dismiss a case just because the immunity issue is being decided.

Certainly one option, but I’d rather they move it fast to keep it in the headlines up to the midterms. Let this administration do their standard weasel playbook in trying to delay and then inevitably try to justify this with shit legal arguments or claims of immunity. They suck so hard in real time when it comes to the courtroom.

Legal hypo:

1. MN waits three years before charging him

2. Trump pardons him on his way out of office

3. MN files state murder charges once new Dem POTUS is sworn in

4. Defendant removes the case to federal court (in which case he’d still be prosecuted under MN state law)

What impact if any does the pardon have on the case that’s now been removed to federal court and any consideration of the immunity issue by the federal judge?

MN would wait because the post-removal dismissal would be with prejudice.

The answer to the legal hypo overall is that, traditionally, under both political parties, the feds *never* allow a state prosecution of a federal agent for actions taken under color of federal law (he either gets charged federally or not at all). Now maybe President Newsom does something different, but there's no precedent for that.

Poasters are saying it will be removed to Federal court and killed by DOJ, but that requires Minnesota to initiate proceedings. Does that count as "Minnesota charg[ing]" Ross?
