From the ABC12 article: >IOSCO COUNTY, Mich. (WJRT) - A Homeland Security official has been arraigned on charges of reckless driving causing serious injuries in Iosco County. >John Schoen, a 53-year-old federal agent from Toledo, was charged on Thursday. Investigators say Schoen was surveilling a suspect in a terrorism case in the Whittemore area when the crash happened in September 2021. >Authorities were investigating a series of homemade pipe bombs left near cell phone stores in Northern Michigan at the time. During the surveillance, Schoen attempted to pass another vehicle and collided with a car driven by Whittemore Mayor Bob Leslie. >Leslie sustained injuries but survived the crash. >Schoen's attorney has requested the case be moved to federal court to determine if Schoen, who later retired from the Homeland Security Department, has immunity as a former federal agent. >Douglas Allen, the suspect in the pipe bomb case, was sentenced to six years in prison and remains in custody. Maybe don’t run over the mayor next time!!

If the victim of Schoen's reckless driving was anybody other than the mayor, DHS would have arrested them as a 'domestic terrorist'.
