Here's a screenshot of the DOJ policy regarding use of force that largely mirrors the California policy I posted in the first image. From a policy & procedure perspective: any way you slice it, ICE officer Jonathan Ross was in the wrong.

But I guess we should stop expecting Noem & DHS to ever follow the Constitution or the law, as JD Vance has asserted that they have "absolute immunity" ... Not qualified immunity like all other US law enforcement, but absolute immunity - just like what SCOTUS bestowed upon Trump.

The Constitution gives Congress oversight authority. However Noem has decided, in her infinite wisdom, to restrict Congress from accessing ICE facilities.

No where does it state that it is permissible to kill a fleeing subject MERELY FOR FLEEING!
In section 33 and also says that officers are supposed to AVOID putting themselves in front of a vehicle that is moving or could move!!!
But, since ICE has the same level of immunity as Donald Trump ... 🤬
