Analysis Summary
Minnesota prosecutors just filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration demanding evidence in three ICE shootings after the feds refused to cooperate or even name the agents involved. This is a real clash over constitutional immunity — federal law usually shields federal agents from state prosecution, and there's no clear precedent for Minnesota winning. The case hinges on a constitutional doctrine called the supremacy clause that hasn't been tested by the Supreme Court in over a century.
