Back<\/span><\/p>\n transcript<\/p>\n The precedent here is very simple. You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal law enforcement action. That\u2019s a federal issue. That guy is protected by absolute immunity. He was doing his job. No, I didn\u2019t say \u2014 and I don\u2019t think any other official within the Trump administration said that officers who engaged in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity. That\u2019s absurd. What I did say is that when federal law enforcement officers violate the law, that is typically something that federal officials would look into. But of course, we\u2019re going to investigate these things. Of course, we\u2019re investigating the Renee Good shooting, but we\u2019re investigating them in a way that respects people\u2019s rights and ensures that if somebody did something wrong, yes, they\u2019re going to face disciplinary action. But we\u2019re not going to judge them in the court of public opinion.<\/p>\n Vice President JD Vance appeared to backtrack a previous statement that ICE agents were \u201cprotected by absolute immunity\u201d during a press conference on Thursday, after meeting with immigration agents in Minneapolis.<\/span><\/p>\n By Jamie Leventhal<\/p>\n January 22, 2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" new video loaded: According to Vance, ICE Officers No Longer Have \u2018Absolute Immunity\u2019 transcript Back transcript According to Vance, ICE Officers No Longer Have \u2018Absolute Immunity\u2019 Vice President JD Vance appeared to backtrack a previous statement that ICE agents were \u201cprotected by absolute immunity\u201d during a press conference on Thursday, after meeting with immigration agents<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":42466,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[14361,2466,16088,333,4490,8315],"class_list":{"0":"post-42465","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-politics","8":"tag-absolute","9":"tag-ice","10":"tag-immunity","11":"tag-longer","12":"tag-officers","13":"tag-vance"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42465","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=42465"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42465\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/42466"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=42465"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=42465"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=42465"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}According to Vance, ICE Officers No Longer Have \u2018Absolute Immunity\u2019<\/h2>\n
