I am writing as a constituent to urge you to publicly reject the claim that ICE agents are immune from prosecution. No federal officer is above the law. The Constitution, federal statutes, and long-standing Supreme Court precedent make clear that government agents—state or federal—remain subject to criminal law when they violate it. Qualified immunity, where it applies, is a civil doctrine; it does not grant blanket protection from criminal accountability. Nor does the Supremacy Clause shield federal officers who exceed lawful authority or commit crimes. Claims of categorical immunity undermine the rule of law, invite abuse, and erode public trust in legitimate law enforcement. Accountability is not anti-law-enforcement; it is essential to lawful governance and constitutional order. When agents act within the law, prosecutions do not follow. When they do not, accountability must. I ask you to state clearly and on the record that ICE agents are not immune from prosecution, and that criminal conduct by any officer—federal or otherwise—must be investigated and, where warranted, charged.
