Do the guards have diplomatic immunity?

Hell no. I believe several of them were prosecuted last time.

They’ll only learn if a few of them are shipped home in a box.

Two Turkish-Americans pled guilty and were sentenced to one year. Charges were filed against 17 others--15 Turks and 2 Turkish-Canadians, but they were all allowed to leave the country and charges were subsequently dropped.

"U.S. prosecutors have quietly dropped charges against 11 of the 15 members of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's security detail who were criminally indicted in an assault on protesters last year during a visit by Erdogan to Washington.

Criminal charges related to the incident against four of the bodyguards were dismissed last November while the indictment against the seven others was withdrawn February 14, the day before outgoing Secretary of State Rex TIllerson visited Turkey to meet with Erdogan in a bid to mend ties between the two NATO allies."
