Vance says admin. must take action when ICE agents "screw up"

Vice President JD Vance conceded that some federal immigration officers commit serious misconduct, and he said the Trump administration is obliged to investigate and prosecute such cases. He made the comments Thursday while taping a Michigan town hall with Tony Dokoupil of CBS Evening News, set for broadcast Saturday, according to CBS News.

Vance called most ICE personnel patriotic and well-intentioned, but when Dokoupil asked about the worst errors in enforcement, he named no specific episodes. He said inquiries have produced retraining and, at times, discipline, though the administration rarely publicizes it because accused officers deserve a court's judgment and a regular investigation.

ICE and Customs and Border Protection have faced scrutiny over force during the immigration crackdown. Renee Good and Alex Pretti died in shootings by immigration authorities at Minnesota protests; Jonathan Ross, the ICE officer who shot Good, was put on administrative leave. No one has been charged in either death, though the Justice Department opened a probe into Pretti's. Agents also shot Oscar Belgal in the neck in New York this month while trying to arrest him with a 5-year-old boy in the back seat.
