CNN legal analyst questions JD Vance's law education over 'immunity' claims
A CNN legal analyst questioned Vice President JD Vance's education after his claim that federal immigration agents enjoy "absolute immunity."
The vice president justified the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Wednesday in Minneapolis by smearing the woman as a left-wing radical intent on impeding and harming federal agents, who he argued were "protected by absolute immunity."
"The precedent here is very simple," Vance told reporters Thursday at the White House. "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."
CNN's Elliot Williams, a former federal prosecutor, dismissed the the Yale Law School graduate's argument as nonsense.
