Vance backs ICE but acknowledges need to prosecute officers who ‘screw up’

Vice President JD Vance spoke highly of the men and women who serve in Immigration and Customs Enforcement, but he acknowledged that officers who “screw up” need to be held accountable by the Trump administration.

“Most of them are amazing people who are patriots and they want to do a good job protecting their country,” Vance told CBS Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil in a pretaped interview. “Sometimes, you have some people who make mistakes. Sometimes, you have some people who really screw up. And obviously, we have a responsibility to prosecute, investigate when people do screw up.”
