JD Vance stuns with claim ICE agent who killed woman shares Trump's 'absolute immunity'

By Travis Gettys
Published January 8, 2026 2:17 PM ET

Vice President JD Vance suggested that federal law enforcement agents enjoy the same absolute immunity as that bestowed upon President Donald Trump by the conservative U.S. Supreme Court.

The vice president spent Thursday morning justifying the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent the day before in Minneapolis, and he spoke to reporters in the afternoon at the White House briefing room to suggest the victim had committed a crime because she had been influenced by left-wing radicals, including state officials.

"First of all, I wish the state officials in Minnesota would investigate why you have so many people who are using their vehicles and other means to actually interfere with the legitimate law enforcement operation," Vance said. "The precedent here is very simple. You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal law enforcement action."

Even Trump doesn't have immunity if he murders someone . . . yet, at least. Buy Clarence a motorhome and he can probably kill people for sport on the concrete slab FKA the Rose Garden.

JD Vance can't even get his brain to work up Mentally.

Personally, I put JD Vance even way under Ronald Reagan (Where Ronnie is classified as a special needs bug)

He was talking about the "lawless" actions of people exercising their Constitutional rights while he serves a demented fool with thirty-four felonies to his name.

for the White House to block transfer of the shooter to state custody. They’ll protect him in DC and ignore any court orders while they try to bully Minnesota to drop charges. It won’t work in the long run, but might buy them time.

Just a guess.
