How limited is a diplomat's immunity from prosecution in the US?

The Ambassador of the country and certain high-ranking staff members enjoy ABSOLUTE immunity. There have been instances where a member of the high diplomatic staff of a foreign nation has been immune from charges of Homicide. In such cases these persons are never prosecuted but the US State Department will declare them Persona Non Grata, and they will be expelled from the US.HOWEVER... so-called "diplomatic immunity" does NOT extend to ALL staff member of the foreign embassy. Only the very highest members of the delegation enjoy FULL immunity. Other, lesser members of the staff enjoy only limited immunity from prosecution.The important thing to remember, is that US Diplomats enjoy the same privileges in their host countries as well.
