I mean, that's great and all, but IIRC this Supreme Court has been instituting a policy of Absolute Immunity related to immigration issues via Egbert v. Boule.

I mean, that's great and all, but IIRC this Supreme Court has been instituting a policy of Absolute Immunity related to immigration issues via Egbert v. Boule. If one has absolute immunity, the law simply isn't a concern for federal border security.
- giantg2 4y agoIf I remember correctly, it's not complete immunity, but they require a compensation mechanism approved by congress for any issue that doesn't have prior history of being compensated explicitly similar to the situation at hand. It's like 99% immunity.
- ep103 4y agoRight, so federal agents receive absolute immunity by default, and this is guaranteed to continue for every new issue, unless Congress magically becomes un-gridlocked in the meanwhile AND chooses to solve this issue AND chooses to do so every time a new unprecedent issue occurs involving a federal agent.
- giantg2 4y agoIt's not absolute. It's just the default. There are specific scenarios where it doesn't apply.
