According to Vance, ICE Officers No Longer Have ‘Absolute Immunity’

The precedent here is very simple. You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal law enforcement action. That’s a federal issue. That guy is protected by absolute immunity. He was doing his job. No, I didn’t say — and I don’t think any other official within the Trump administration said that officers who engaged in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity. That’s absurd. What I did say is that when federal law enforcement officers violate the law, that is typically something that federal officials would look into. But of course, we’re going to investigate these things. Of course, we’re investigating the Renee Good shooting, but we’re investigating them in a way that respects people’s rights and ensures that if somebody did something wrong, yes, they’re going to face disciplinary action. But we’re not going to judge them in the court of public opinion.
