California has got your backs.

Be advised that violations of California state law may be investigated by any state or local law enforcement agency, even if the potential violations involve federal agents or officers.

See e.g. Idaho v. Horiuchi (9th Cir. 2000) 215 F.3d 986, vacated as moot by Idaho v. Horiuchi (9th Cir. 2001) 266 F.3d 979.

And where the facts warrant it, state or local prosecutors may file charges against federal agents or officers for violations of state criminal laws.

See In re Neagle (1890) 135 U.S. 1; Wyoming v. Livingston (10th Cir. 2006) 443 F.3d 1211, 1222.

As stated by the United States Supreme Court, "the States possess primary authority for defining and enforcing the criminal law." Engle v. Isaac (1982) 456 U.S. 107, 128; see also U.S. v. Lopez (1995) 514 U.S. 549, 561 fn. 3.

The Court has observed that "the Constitution requires a distinction between what is truly national and what is truly local," and "[in] recognizing this fact we preserve one of the few principles that has been consistent since the [Commerce] Clause was adopted. The regulation and punishment of intrastate violence that is not directed at the instrumentalities, channels, or goods involved in interstate commerce has always been the province of the States."

U.S. v. Morrison (2000) 529 U.S. 598, 599, 617-618; see also Cohens v. I Virginia (1821) 6 Wheat. 264, 426, 428, 5 L.Ed. 257 (Marshall, C.J.) stating that Congress "has no general right
to punish murder committed within any of the States," and that it is "clear ... that congress cannot punish felonies generally").

Where potential criminal conduct occurs while a federal agent or officer is carrying out federal duties, joint-investigations and information sharing agreements continue to be best practices if feasible for investigating such instances. However, in light of the federal government's recent actions, it is important to recognize that the interests of the state are not subordinate to federal interests when it comes to regulating local crime. State and local law enforcement agencies maintain independent authority to investigate all potential violations of California state law even in instances where federal authorities may decline to cooperate.

During the 1960s, Deputy US Marshals (DUSMs) were deployed in the Deep South to enforce court orders against segregation.

Whether anyone the DUSMs encountered were ever prosecuted, I don't know. But their presence was effective.


And I'll wager Dummkopf Trumpf will pardon any ICE ruffian from federal convictions.

But those pardons can't be applied to state convictions or to civil unlawful death lawsuits at the federal or state level.

The murderers of Renee Good and Alex Pretti can be sued and can face state homicide charges.

They kick up dust. Nothing else.

They're anything but power brokers in the Dem party. Only a fool would insist otherwise.

As usual, your braindead stupid a&& relies on a crutch that you're too stupid to use properly to look for metrics that are meaningless.
