ICE Agent Charged With Assault For Pointing Gun At Minnesota Driver “There is no such thing as absolute immunity for federal agents who violate the law in the state of Minnesota,” Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate:

1950: 50%
1990: 25%
2020: 13%

Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.

That is how we will pay for it.
