In recent weeks, public attention has turned again to a familiar but deeply consequential phrase: “federal immunity.” The term has resurfaced after ICE murdered two protestors in Minneapolis followed by Stephen Miller suggesting ICE officers are effectively untouchable by the courts.

For many Americans – particularly those who have experienced or witnessed government abuse – those words confirmed what the legal system has long signaled: accountability often stops where immunity begins.​ But the theoretical debate over immunity, that shields state actors from civil liability even when they break the law, has recently taken a tragic, human form.

Renee Good and Alex Pretti were shot and killed by ICE agents on a snowy street in Minneapolis not far from where George Floyd was murdered.

A leaked video from an ICE detention site shows fifty human beings jammed into a single cell with no beds, no bathrooms, nothing. Some of them are U.S. citizens.

"They hit his face. They beat him until he can no longer stand."

"They have been here more than ten days without bathing and enduring hunger."

"Look how they have us here. Look at what kind of immigration they have us under, people who are legal, people who are not legal, people who are losing their families, they are kidnapping us."
