Absolute Immunity... just so you know where we stand. The ICE agents have ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY. [View all]

ICE agent has 'absolute immunity' to do his job, says Vance

Vance is asked about Minnesota's state agencies being cut off from the investigation by the US attorney's office.

The vice-president says he wishes state officials would investigate why "so many people" are using vehicles to interfere with law enforcement.

He says the ICE agent involved has "absolute immunity" to do his job, which is a "federal issue".

Vance says it would be unprecedented for a local official to prosecute a federal official with absolute immunity, referring to the ICE agent.

Just so we are clear. They start out with Absolute Immunity. No waiting for an investigation. Nothing.

How do they know he wasn't an ex boyfriend?

Absolute Immunity... that's a bad precedent.
