# ICE has increasingly operated as if oversight is an obstacle rather than a safeguard, and accountability as an inconvenience.

.

When a criminal is in charge, expect criminality.

And since the head criminal has pardons to hand out like candy, expect *impunity*.

can't pardon them for state-level prosecutions....

But the Department of Homeland Security is stopping any investigation of this incident by Minnesotan law enforcement agencies.

Kristi Noem says Minnesota doesn't have any jurisdiction over this matter. So there won't be any state-level charges.

not now, maybe. But there's no statute of limitations on murder.

I would also raise the question here of validity of pardons. It is unsettled law for if paid pardons are valid when there is a pattern of behavior of it. If we pretend that this level of paid corruption is legal. Then what is "legal" is without law. There is some limit of acceptable favors and I think it has been vastly bypassed.

Pretending that old rules apply without question is how the corruption continues.
