Even though political hurdles exist, it is a tool that must be discussed.

Stephen Miller’s message to ICE agents on Fox News, which the Department of Homeland Security shared, asserted that they have “federal immunity.” Legal experts quickly refuted this claim, emphasizing that no such blanket immunity exists for criminal behavior and that states can hold federal officers accountable. Moreover, some legal scholars suggested that Miller’s actions, particularly if he’s directing agency actions, could make him subject to impeachment. The legal experts’ concerns were underscored by the fact that Miller is not a lawyer.
