Trump may not be able to pardon him but he can invade the state, take over the prison, have puppets do it for him, whatever. He's not bound by law anymore, he does whatever the fuck he wants and somehow all those dumb Americans just let him get away with everything.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The FBI kicked Minnesota out. FBI is doing the “investigation “.
And I could win the lottery. Or fly to the moon. The current play of all media and politicians is to throw around words like could, and might, or possibly. All in the name of “doing something” without actually doing anything. Just empty threats upon empty threats. Because the politicians do not care.
Oh my, what will happen?
Will we reach across the aisle and let cooler heads prevail by letting the killer go free?
Or will the killer learn first hand that having a badge doesn't mean he can kill random innocent people?
Need a whole lot of this happening.
They should arrest him and put him in the toughest prison in the state with the word Chomo written on his forehead.
At this point having other prisoners know he was ICE might be just as bad for him. I don't the modern SS is popular amongst inmates
This is like the Ashli Babbitt case. Half the country thinks she's a domestic terrorist and law enforcement killed her in the act of putting people in danger.
At most, her family will get a civil settlement. Everyone knows it.
Ashli Babbitt was trying to storm the halls of congress, with an angry mob behind her, with weapons already drawn on her, given warnings but still trying to break glass to get through, and was shot once.
The other was a mom after dropping her kid off from school, turning her vehicle around on a road that ICE blocked, and was shot 3 times in the face at point blank range.
These are not comparable cases.
