Prosecute Federal Agents For State Crimes

To: Gov. Whitmer

From: A verified voter in Kalamazoo, MI

October 9, 2025

Warrantless Federal agents are committing or will commit MI state felonies.You have the power to prosecute under state law. They may claim Supremacy Clause protects them from state prosecution. But this immunity only applies when they’re acting lawfully within federal authority. When they exceed that authority, violate federal law or act unreasonably, they lose that protection. The question isn’t whether MI can prosecute federal agents. It’s whether they’re authorized to do what they’re doing. Wisconsin law professors at the State Democracy Research Initiative said when federal agents exceed their lawful authority, they can face state prosecution. Immunity protections only cover lawful federal acts. Kicking down doors without judicial warrants, detaining citizens without probable cause, and abducting children aren’t lawful federal acts. They’re crimes. They will immediately try to move cases to federal court, claiming “just doing their job”. Let them. Make them stand before a federal judge and argue that administrative warrants signed by ICE officers, not judges, authorize home invasions; explain why pointing guns at children is “necessary and proper” to immigration enforcement. Force them to defend the indefensible on the record. Every day spent in legal battles is a day they wonder if they’ll face state prosecution. Every court hearing is a news cycle about federal agents committing crimes. Every removal petition to federal court is an admission that states have power to threaten federal operations. The legal authority exists now. When ICE/Border Patrol/DHS kick a door in w/o judicial warrant, that’s burglary; point weapons at unarmed people, that’s assault; detain citizens without authority, that’s kidnapping. When Tom Homan threatens you for not cooperating with deportations, that’s criminal threatening. File criminal charges for what is happening or will happen in MI. We elected you to protect all of us.
