Radio Atlantic · Do ICE Officers Have 'Immunity'? · 15 Jan 2026 podcast

I mean, everybody I asked about this told me that these cases are transferred into federal court and that it's extremely rare for state or local jurisdictions to successfully bring charges against a federal law enforcement officer accused of wrongdoing while in the course of their duties.

Absolutely.

I mean, like, just to be clear, like, there is no precedent for what we're seeing right now where the Border Patrol and ICE officers are in the streets of American cities, in neighborhoods, pulling cars over, confronting protesters, zooming around in unmarked cars with masks on.

I mean, this is not what these agencies were created to do.

And so...

That the root of all of this is the Trump administration's quest for a million deportations a year, a mass deportation campaign that is going to be on this kind of happened in this episodic rolling basis in blue Democratic run cities.

and a desire to have imagery of confrontation in which they can have this political fight over immigration, the future of this country, left-wing protesters, have all of these things play out on social media, on television,

i think that they think it is winning politics for them and i think that they think that this is winning policy for them this is what stephen miller has been building up to his entire political career we didn't see it on this kind of level you know in the first trump administration because there were checks there were safeguards the border was still the focus but now that the border is basically closed and all of the energy and the resources and attention are on this deportation campaign

These confrontations are what they've been building up to for a long time.

So this is something that I'm writing about this week.

And I think that the main takeaway is that the Department of Homeland Security has gotten way off of its foundational mission.

But at the core of it is this unresolved conflict in our politics and our country about immigration enforcement and the role of immigration and immigrants in American society.

And they're two completely divergent visions right now that are clashing in a way we've never seen.

My pleasure.

Always good to be with you.
