You have immunity to perform your duties, and no oneno city official, no state official, no illegal alien, no leftist agitator or domestic insurrectionistcan 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 Millers message, which DHS described as a REMINDER.

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 cant?!?! Gee. Whod have thunk it?
Theres a reason we had a whole No kings movement back in the mid-late 1700s.
