Vance backs ICE but acknowledges need to prosecute when officers 'screw up'
- Vance praises ICE as patriotic while admitting some officers 'really screw up' — and vows prosecution, though no feds have charged a single agent in recent fatal shootings.
- Body count mounts: U.S. citizens and immigrants shot dead by ICE agents in Minnesota, Maine, and New York — with one officer quietly reassigned, not indicted.
- Vice President says investigations are happening 'quietly' — because, apparently, the cuffs are for the undocumented, not the badge-wearers.
- Pressed on 'biggest mistakes,' Vance dodges specifics, offering training and 'disciplinary situations' as the cure for trigger-happy enforcement.
- Full town hall airs Saturday — expect more warm fuzzies for the agency, less accountability for the bullets.
Brief Summary
Vice President Vance gave ICE a glowing review while admitting, in the vaguest terms possible, that some agents screw up and deserve prosecution. He then proceeded to cite zero examples of anyone actually being prosecuted — because, coincidentally, there aren't any. The administration's track record includes fatal shootings of U.S. citizens and immigrants, with officers placed on leave or reassigned, not handcuffed.
Why This Matters
This is your tax dollars at work: an enforcement agency with a growing kill count and a VP who says 'prosecute the bad apples' while shuffling them to new states like a game of hot potato with badges. If you're a citizen, your death at ICE's hands is apparently an 'investigative matter.' If you're undocumented, you're just another statistic. Vance's talk of accountability is performance art for a base that wants action — until it's an agent in the crosshairs.
