You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal law enforcement action.
That's a federal issue.
That guy is protected by absolute immunity.
He was doing his job.
The idea that Tim Walz and a bunch of radicals in Minneapolis are going to go after and make this guy's life miserable because he was doing the job that he was asked to do is preposterous.
The unprecedented thing is the idea that a local official can actually prosecute a federal official with absolute immunity.
I've never seen anything like that.
It would get tossed out by a judge.
So what I'd like Minnesota to focus on is the real issue that they're encouraging people.
Minneapolis officials are encouraging people to commit violence against ICE officials.
It's ridiculous.
It's got to stop.
Well, being part of the network doesn't justify being shot, but ramming an ICE officer with your car, that's what justifies being shot.
It's not a good thing, by the way, but when you force somebody to engage in self-defense, it's almost a preposterous question.
I'm not saying that funding some of this stuff justifies capital
punishment, nobody would suggest that.
The reason this woman is dead is because she tried to ram somebody with her car and that guy acted in self-defense.
That is why she lost her life and that is the tragedy.
Now, there may be other violations of the law.
and other penalties that are associated with those violations of the law.
