Hakeem Jeffries: “There should be a prohibition that's explicit in the law…”

“There should be an explicit prohibition on the excessive use of force and the law should be made clear that no one in this country is above the law and therefore ICE agents who break the law don't have absolute immunity. We believe There should be a prohibition that's explicit in the law that prohibits ICE from being able to storm churches, synagogues, mosques, houses of worship, hospitals and schools. Let's start there. That's consistent with prohibitions that exist or protocols that exist connected to every other major law enforcement agency in the country. Why should ICE be conducting itself any differently.” (10:46–11:00)
