In a recent statement, President Donald Trump addressed his perspective on global authority, asserting that his only limitation is his own morality. He expressed a disregard for international law, stating, "I don’t need international law. I’m not looking to hurt people." While acknowledging the importance of such laws, he suggested that their interpretation is subjective. Trump reiterated his interest in U.S. ownership of Greenland, referencing a 1951 agreement that purportedly allows the United States to reopen military bases there at will. He emphasized that ownership is crucial for success in international relations, arguing that it provides advantages unattainable through treaties or leases.

In a separate incident, the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent during an operation in Minneapolis has sparked significant controversy and calls for accountability. Vice President JD Vance claimed that the agent, Jonathan Ross, has 'absolute immunity,' a statement challenged by legal experts who argue that such immunity is not supported by U.S. law. Good was serving as a legal observer when she was shot, and eyewitness accounts indicate conflicting instructions were given to her by ICE agents prior to the shooting.

Following the incident, Trump, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, and Vance attributed blame to Good, labeling her actions as domestic terrorism. Vance suggested that Minnesota prosecutors should focus on individuals obstructing ICE operations rather than investigating the shooting itself. Legal professionals have countered that ICE agents do not possess absolute immunity and can be prosecuted under state law.

In response to the shooting, several Democratic representatives, including Illinois Representative Robin Kelly, are advocating for the impeachment of Secretary Noem, alleging that she obstructed Congress and compromised public safety. The impeachment effort has garnered support from other Democratic members of Congress, although its success is uncertain in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives. Critics, including Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, have condemned Vance's assertions about immunity as concerning and indicative of a troubling trend towards a lack of accountability in law enforcement. The incident has raised broader questions about the role of ICE and the treatment of communities affected by its operations.
