YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOn Thursday, Vice President JD Vance defended the decision to cut out Minnesota officials from the investigation into the killing of a US citizen by an ICE agent in Minneapolis this week.
“The precedent here is very simple,” he told reporters in Washington. “You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal law enforcement action. That’s a federal issue.”
He added that the agent who fired the deadly shot “is protected by absolute immunity” because he was doing his job. Vance said it would be understandable that the agent was “a little bit sensitive” about being struck by a vehicle after suffering an injury during an operation last year that resulted in 33 stitches to his leg.
“I can believe that her death is a tragedy, while also recognizing that it’s a tragedy of her own making,” Vance said.
