Of course they are trying to stop prosecution of this officer, but if public pressure is high enough they can always throw him under the bus as a bad apple. But it is important to remember that he is not a bad apple. This is inevitable when you flood the streets with armed thugs with the goal of terrorizing people. ICE needs to be eliminated, don't let them make this about only one of the thugs.
I find it ironic when these organizations use the "bad apple" argument. The term comes from the adage, "One bad apple spoils the whole bunch", so if you concede that you have bad apples, you concede that your entire organization is corrupt.
Logic is beautiful.
‘this officer” = lawless masked thug
More likely they won't do a damn thing. Throwing even one under the bus will probably do two things: temper the campaign of terror (they want people to be afraid) and create distrust among the loyal footsoldiers. Trump, but mostly Miller, want ICE to look but also feel invincible because they'll be needed in the future to amp up the terror at least 5x when elections close in. The only things that can stop ICE are Trump (won't happen), Congress (won't happen), the courts (not holding my breath), or us.
