“Mary Moriarty, the attorney for Hennepin County, Minnesota, announced this week that her office will investigate alleged crimes committed by federal immigration enforcement agents, including alleged misconduct by Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino during the recent federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota. … In response, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) declared that ‘what these States are trying to do is unlawful and they know it.’ According to the DHS statement, ‘federal officials acting in the course of their duties are immune from liability under state law.’ But Moriarty’s investigation actually stands on much stronger legal grounds than the DHS statement might lead you to think.” (03/05/26)
