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

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."
