Question about citizenship and deportation.

[DFW]

6. Like Beastly Boy said: these are not normal times.

At this point, the only project the Republicans have made sound reasonable is to build more prisons: to house those very same Republicans when (if!!) they next lose the presidency.

Rare sentences will by then have become commonplace. Five to fifteen years for assault committed during a false arrest or a groundless involuntary detention (e.g. detaining a US citizen on suspicion of having entered the country illegally).

Republicans would never let such a law pass, shouting that “anybody can make a mistake.” No chance, people, that’s a mistake a responsible government apparatus makes once every four years, if that, and not every four hours. Enablers and supporters with government posts who were in a position to help the wrongly detained, and didn’t (Pam Bondi, e.g.), get equally long sentences for their (in-)actions of cruelty.
