Memo to Pee Wee German: John Roberts anointed TRUMP as The Christ Child, but his "immunity" doesn't extend to ICE goons.

“You have immunity to perform your duties, and no one—no city official, no state official, no illegal alien, no leftist agitator or domestic insurrectionist—can prevent you from fulfilling your legal obligations and duties,” Miller said. “The Department of Justice has made clear that if officials cross that line into obstruction, into criminal conspiracy against the United States or against ICE officers, then they will face justice.”

*****

In fact, the Supreme Court has held that the president enjoys absolute immunity from criminal persecution for all “official acts” but has not extended that same protection to other federal officials.

“There is no blanket ‘immunity’ for criminal behavior. States can and should hold federal officers accountable,” public defender Eli Northrup wrote in response to Miller’s message, which DHS described as a “REMINDER.”

Runs completely counter to the Founder’s intent.

Hey Roberts, show me in any part of the Constitution where it is even implied that a president has immunity from prosecution as a result any sort of illegal activity. Ya can’t?!?! Gee. Who’d have thunk it?

There’s a reason we had a whole “No kings” movement back in the mid-late 1700s.

Until the SCOTUS corrects this ruling (and its Nazi problem) there's no sanity anywhere in Washington.

We already know how difficult it is to amend the Constitution, and removing anyone from the SC bench is also extremely difficult. There are limits to what a legally-behaving President can do.
