Attorney General Pam Bondi was so furious with six federal prosecutors who announced they would resign rather than prosecute the widow of a Minnesota woman killed by an ICE agent that she fired them before they had a chance to give their notice.

      Is murder a state or federal crime there? Genuinely don’t know as a non usian.

        It depends on a lot of factors. Sometimes it is federal, sometimes state, very rarely both (Luigi Mangione being a recent high profile case where he was charged with both)

        In this case state charges are probably the most appropriate since it happened in Minnesota and didn’t involve crossing state lines

        State crime under most circumstances. Federal murder generally requires that it happen somewhere directly administered by the federal government or that the victim be a member of the federal government, and that last one is still only sometimes.
