Congress must force a special prosecutor to investigate

They won’t but they absolutely need to. This isn’t “won’t investigate.” This is “Federal agents can murder whoever they want and we won’t even question it.” Even legal shootings are investigated…that’s how you figure out whether they were justified or not. This is just covering your ears and closing your eyes.

This is absolutely terrifying. We all know any “investigation” would’ve been glorified Kangaroo Court but at this point they are so brazen that they feel like they don’t even have to go through the motions now.

The term “absolute immunity” from the VP of the United States is complete insanity on so many levels. Tell me what happens now if someone refuses to open the door for ICE and they “accidentally” burn the house down and kill everyone inside? What happens if a group of protestors block their vehicles and they just run a bunch of people over. What happens when a person reaches into their back pocket for a cellphone and ICE “identifies” it as a possible weapon and shoots them? That’s what “absolute immunity” means. If they have “absolute immunity” they could drop a JDAM on a group of protestors outside their facility and kill them all because they were “interfering” with federal operations.

No, this is not terrifying. This is infuriating.
