Illinois Governor JB Pritzker (D) made the case to MSNBC’s Jen Psaki on Thursday night that should a Democrat come to power after President Donald Trump, many of Trump’s top officials will likely be “held accountable” for “breaking the law.” Psaki asked Pritzker, “You said on Sunday that you were looking at prosecuting ICE agents who violate the law. What can you tell us about that? What would that look like?”

“Well, we don’t know yet, because let’s start with the fact that the federal agents typically have federal immunity, but they’re not immune from the federal government holding them accountable and responsible. And so typically there are inspectors general, there are senior officials at agencies like ICE and CBP that will suspend somebody who’s been accused or found to have broken the law,” Pritzker replied, adding:

And as they suspend them, investigate it, and then determine whether that person should be punished criminally or otherwise. The problem now, of course, is that Donald Trump has fired many of the inspectors general, or he’s replaced them with political appointees. And so we don’t know that anybody would be held accountable at the federal level.

So we’re looking at all of the options at the local level with county and state’s attorneys, with attorneys general, to go after people when they’re breaking Illinois law, when they’re breaking local law. And we think that they have—you know, when they’re driving through an area, someone’s yelling at them and they decide to simply throw a tear gas canister out of the car as they’re driving through at someone who’s on the side of the road.
