Well, we know that they at least will have functionally Federal immunity - Bondi won’t prosecute. However, three ICE officers will be finding out that they do not have STATE immunity. I fully expect prosecution on murder charges.
But they’re doing plenty of illegal things that aren’t murder. I don’t have a problem with them getting charged, even a few years down the road, for pepper spraying kids or dragging people out of their cars. Even if they never actually get charged, they should at least be concerned about the possibility of being held responsible for their illegal actions after Trump is out of office and no longer able to protect them.
I happen to have been able to listen to NPR yesterday, and heard this story. [bolding mine]
PEREIRA: Yeah, I was in shock. I was like, guys, like, I’m really trying to do the right thing. I always made sure, like, I was legal in the country.
BEARDSLEY: This apolitical youngster says he had no problem handing over his devices and passwords. He had nothing to hide. But he wasn’t even allowed to call his parents initially. Border Patrol told him foreigners do not have the same rights. After a few days in detention, Pereira was handed over to ICE.
Note that Stephen Miller was probably incorrect in claiming ICE officers have “federal immunity.” As this CNN story says, there are two questions that need to be addressed. First, was the agent acting in the course of their official duties? Second, was the action “reasonable” based on the circumstances?
Funny enough, Ross yesterday was lamenting how Trump is turning the country against conservatives.
“And all of this was predictable. From the first days of DOGE through the debacle in Minneapolis, the Trump administration has consistently governed as if swing voters aren’t part of its coalition. And now, guess what? They’re not,”
Maybe next time don’t make a senile. racist, sexual predator who was convicted of multiple felonies your leader.
Or the ladies in the city of Sogo who smoke from a kookah that has a guy in the water-filled chamber. Asked what they are smoking, on e replies “Essence of Man”.
Adam Kinzinger? A legitimately “conservative” politician who wouldn’t have raised an eyebrow among Republicans 20 years ago, but one who is sane enough that Democrats wouldn’t freak out at his being elected, and would be willing to work with him to actually govern, rather than this shit show we have now.
Too bad his principled stand against Trump and the MAGAs has made him anathema to the party.
