I have a new piece up @slate.com, on the politics of Minneapolis's DA going after the ICE officer (now ID'd as Jonathan Ross) who killed Renee Good.
She's been aggressive on police shooting in the past, residents are outraged at the killing, and she can charge even without a fed or local arrest.

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty can bring charges even without any arrest and is not one to back down from a case like this.
