Of course they did. And they have full immunity too. 🙄
They only have immunity because the laws aren't enforced.
They don't actually have immunity under the laws today. ICE are not law enforcement, they do not have the ability or jurisdiction to be law enforcement. Most of their actions are illegal under State and federal laws. However actual law enforcement refuses to enforce the laws in regards to ICE.
They don't. I know what you mean, but I'd rather not just repeat the lie and let it sit there.
Yup. This is not immunity, it is lawlessness.
They can literally just shoot random people and nothing happens
Or sell their possessions like in this case
Yeah but that's because they're breaking the law and nobody's enforcing consequences. I get what you're saying, they do have effective immunity because the system is compromised, but they do not have legal immunity and are healing the law. If we course correct (we can't, but maybe a fuckin miracle will happen) they'll all be able to prosecuted under existing laws by judges and prosecutors that fulfill their oaths. It's an ultimately meaningless distinction unless we course correct, but it's worth pointing out for the sake of factual accuracy.
It'll be years before any of this catches up to them, if it does. But it might.
They don't, felony theft is a state crime and you have to provide id to pawn or sell a phone.
Don't they have immunity from state crimes too now?
No, jd Vance is just an idiot who doesn't know words.
