Two things - one, can they not have two different prosecutions, one at state and another as a federal felony? And while justice needs to be done, going full out as a federal case and having it dismissed or even pardoned would certainly be more gasoline on a fire that hopefully doesn’t go out soon.
I’m not for capital punishment, but whatever route it takes, I hope this guy never sees sunlight again.
They can charge him with both federal and state crimes that overlap, resulting in trials at both levels, but that’s not necessarily the winning strategy, and the interworkings of various agencies when it comes to dual state and federal charges is a complex subject.
But for myself, if this guy is charged at the state level I fully expect the DoJ to come in with federal action of some kind very quickly thereafter. Not to prosecute, but to sabotage the state level proceedings. They won’t have a choice: in order to continue recruiting for ICE and to keep the thugs they already have on the payroll from quitting, both of which are necessary to continue ramping up domestic unrest so as to impose martial law, they (DHS, DoJ, ICE) have to be seen to insulate their own hires from criminal repercussions.
Personally I am all for vigilante retribution. Ideally he’d be convincted only to get whatever mush constitutes an ICE agents brain boiled due to “faulty” tempature controls in his cell.

EDITED to add link to the comment of someone who put it more cogently than I just did:

I wish I lived in the area. I’d drive past his house slowly.
Happy little accidents.
