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

“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.”
