    I really don’t understand how SOMEONE isn’t in jail for this. Even if DeSantis can blame someone on his staff, someone should be in jail. Whether it’s human trafficking, kidnapping, fraud, or 100 other laws this probably broke, you aren’t allowed to do this to people and not face repercussions.

    I promise you if I did this same exact thing today, I would be in jail within 24 hours.

    Someone, somewhere, either isn’t doing their job, or they are taking their sweet ass time doing it.

      The FBI is far right. Who else does federal policing? It’s not a coincidence that when the FBI is involved, people on the right don’t go to jail. In the meantime, the FBI arrest me for peacefully protesting and then when border patrol booked me and while I was in handcuffs, they assaulted me. They were granted qualified immunity for the assault. Lawyers, judges, federal employees, also the paperwork and all signed off on it. I was found not guilty, of course, but I’m forever scarred.

        Qualified Immunity is illegal according to the law (§1983) as was passed by Congress in 1871, not as was illegally revised by a Southern Revisionist when they “copied” the law from the Congressional Record into the Federal Register in 1874.

        President Grant referenced the law when he got pulled over for “speeding on a horse within the city limits of Washington DC,” for the third time in his life in 1872. The other two were in 1866 when he was a lowly General. The officer attempted to let him go when he saw who he pulled over, and Grant said “Congress just passed a law about this, even The President isn’t above The Law, neither are you. Write me the ticket.”
