This could stick. A judge should issue arrest warrants for both the VP and the convicted felon and rapist

[bucolic_frolic]

1. !!!!! /nt

[Bayard]

2. Repercussions are a new thing for these two villains

They think they should be able to stomp on whoever they want, and expect them to not protest.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

3. GOOD FOR THEM!!!!!!!!!!

[debm55]

8. Agree.

[sheshe2]

4. Glad they are doing this....

However there won’t be any arrest warrants.

[LeftInTX]

22. Yeah, it's filed in municipal court, which around here the most serious charge are traffic tickets.

It could shut up Trump however.
Just knowing they are facing charges is not good publicity for Trump.

They could face fines too.

[sheshe2]

24. Shutting up TSF and his sidekick would be a +++++++++++++

[LeftInTX]

33. I know. They will probably stop their attack on Haitians.

But not on other immigrant groups.

I'm glad they filed charges. It is empowering!

[GopherGal]

39. I don't expect it will go anywhere...

but I'll briefly indulge the fantasy of T...FP and Shady showing up for a rally in Springfield and being arrested.

[brakester]

42. He has been politely...

....disinvited from coming to Springfield.
They have a ton of nerve saying they are coming anyway. They should demand expenses for their visit ahead of time or refuse to give him permission to land.
And, whatever legal trouble these Haitians can bedevil them with!!

[twodogsbarking]

5. Ha ha Trumpo you clown.

[kimbutgar]

6. Go get them people of Springfield!

Take them down and make them pay huge fines for disrupting their city with lies!

[AKwannabe]

7. This is what I am talking about!!!!!!!

Proper proper!!!

[surfered]

9. Right on! Protect your rights!

[Sogo]

10. Yes!!!!

Lock them up!!

[Martin68]

11. I hope some (out all) of these charges are upheld.

Since Vance admitted he knew it was a lie, they should succeed in holding them accountable for at least some of these charges.

[dchill]

18. Upheld? Don't know. Justified? Oh, hell yes!

Each of those charges clearly applies.

[Martin68]

48. Obviously they apply. Obviously a court might not find them all (or any of them) actionable.

[lamp_shade]

12. HELL YES !!!

[republianmushroom]

13. Good luck with this, Haitian group.

[pnwmom]

14. Here is the memorandum filed by the Chandra Law firm.

It mentions that there is a felony charged.

[ColinC]

15. Vance might need to change his tune quick! Trump won't care

[BobsYourUncle]

46. Vance could just

do a little sidestep; maybe change his name again?

[Figarosmom]

16. Good. Nt

[PortTack]

17. Kudos to these proud Haitian Americans!

[dchill]

19. "...judge should issue arrest warrants..."

Yes. The danger CLEARLY still exists. It's their game plan.

[calimary]

20. At this point, I treasure ANY AND ALL problems hitting the trump/vance campaign!

All I can say on that score is “More, PLEASE!!!”

[JoseBalow]

21. Who will be prosecuting?

[LeftInTX]

23. It's filed in municipal court....

I don't know how that works....

Usually criminal is handled by counties

I think some large cities (like NYC) have criminal courts.

[Evolve Dammit]

25. Good for them. Hope the case gets media attention

[gab13by13]

29. Nicolle Wallace and Stephanie Miller will cover it.

Thom Hartmann will cover it.

[MiHale]

26. Immigrant Strong...

[70sEraVet]

37. Or THIS immigrant song:

https://m.

&pp=ygUbZ29nb2wgYm9yZGVsbG8gaW1taWdyYW5pYWRh

[Think. Again.]

27. Good! We should all take take a cue...

...from the lead these brave Americans are showing us!

[Solly Mack]

28. Good

[nuxvomica]

30. Citizen's arrest!

This is the sort of thing RWers love to try and their leaders encourage it, especially for abortion and electoral fraud. Now the tables are turned.

[flying-skeleton]

31. Unfortunately. A waste of time.

Unfortunately, this will never see the inside of a courtroom. Trump's lawyers will drown them in debt.

[LeftInTX]

34. They're criminal charges filed in municipal court. I don't know how that works.

I noticed there was a felony, which will probably be thrown out because most municipal courts cannot handle felonies. Unless there is some way it could go to the DA. I think these types of criminal cases are limited to minor charges.
Some of these charges could stick and Trump could face a fine. Most municipalities do not have jails these days.

But I think overall this will be "successful" for the plaintiffs. I think it will be the equivalent of a civil case without hefty amounts of money and time involved like actual civil suits.

I think it's a good idea! It will be quick and the penalties will be light, but it should shut Trump and Vance up with regard to their false claims about Haitians. (They could also sue, but that will takes alot of time). The overall goal is to get Trump and Vance to stop their ridiculous claims.

[progressoid]

41. Yeah, I won't be holding my breath waiting for this to make it on any court's docket.

[SCantiGOP]

47. And....

Whoever plans to arrests them is going to have to shoot it out with a few dozen Secret Service agents.

[Volaris]

32. Tomorrow the breaking news headline will be something like

Republican majority legislature in Ohio passes overnight bill making filing criminal charges by individuals retroactively illegal, promises trump all democrats will be locked up.

[DemonGoddess]

35. good for them!

[Lovie777]

36. Good........................

[AllaN01Bear]

38. """

[Timeflyer]

40. Good!!!

[RussBLib]

43. Neither is president

No immunity for you

[Ruby the Liberal]

44. Well hot damn!

Theres some welcome news.

[TommieMommy]

45. Good 👍😊 💙

[Warpy]

49. GOOD. They won't win it, most likely, but they should

Blowhards with gigantic megaphones who slander innocent people and get some of them hurt should be made to pay some sort of price.

[90-percent]

50. Give it to the usag

I'm sure he'll make it JOB ONE for the justice department.

-90% jimmy

[LilElf70]

51. This is great news

I loved ever second I read here.

[orangecrush]

52. Haitians proudly doing

The DOJ's job, because otherwise the crimes will go unchallenged.

[MadameButterfly]

53. It won't stick because it's Trump but

it would put anyone else in jail.

It was time for someone to call it out for what it is. Let's hope for some publicity and some votes.
This is couragious.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

54. Vance screams "Go back to Hatia!"

[Aussie105]

55. Good!

When people with a large audience go out of their way to stir up civil unrest, there needs to be some kickback.

[Bluethroughu]

56. Hatians in Springfield Ohio should definately file

Terrorism charges against them.

[Ohioboy]

57. Good! Such charges are deserved.

[Aristus]

58. "He has waged cruel war against nature itself in the persons of a distant people

who never offended him…”

That charge against King George III didn’t make it into the Declaration of Independence, but it sure suits tfg…
