YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAfter an ICE agent shot and killed Renée Good in Minneapolis, protesters have amassed around the country, many wondering: Can that officer be taken to court?
The Trump administration, predictably, says the agent, Jonathan Ross, is immune from prosecution. “You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal law enforcement action,” Vice President JD Vance told reporters on Thursday. “That guy is protected by absolute immunity. He was doing his job.”
But what do independent attorneys say? “I’ve deposed thousands of police officers,” veteran lawyer Robert Bennett told Mother Jones reporter Samantha Michaels. “ICE agents do not have absolute immunity.”
