The state can prosecute a federal agent.

The feds. And they have already said ICE has complete immunity so I guess that includes Border Patrol too.

Not for on the job incidents. Which this clearly was. Feds have complete control over what happens.

So if a CBP agent is driving drunk and kills someone while technically on duty, only the Feds can prosecute?

yes jethrine, if on duty that is correct it would be up to the federal government to prosecute that agent. i'm assuming they would.

Nope, and your side of the aisle is responsible for that.

Were these agents drunk while killing someone?

No. I’m making a rather clear point that if a law enforcement officer breaks a law while on the clock that they can be prosecuted for it.

The immunity that an officer would have is based on his actions being necessary and proper to carrying out his federal function. I’m sure that’s what his legal argument would be. It’s not an immunity from prosecution.

Well sure. What is your point other than the obvious.

If the DOJ declines, it appears it's over. That's why I started this thread. I would like to know that answer.

I think it’s pretty obvious. Are you practicing at being obtuse?

So DOJ refuses, and they get pardoned. Are we done?

It’s Federal, period. Don’t expect any prosecution.
