America does have genuinely terrible precedents. Davis and his gang of traitors should have been hung, by the standards of their time. Nixon should have been imprisoned. Bush II should have had something, and of course Trump should have been prevented from running for office. That’s why things have gotten so bad.
But they can’t keep getting worse forever. And Trump isn’t going so hard and fast just because he likes showing off his power. He’s doing it because even he can see the cracks happening.

The good people of Michigan will sleep better tonight knowing this thug is off the streets.
What? I thought all undocumented immigrants were handed a driver’s license as soon as they announced they were here.

The local police officers who pulled Maykol over could not speak Spanish and had trouble communicating with him, Robinson said, so they called Customs and Border Protection.
“An important aspect of this story is that local police, instead of relying on internal translation services, were relying on Border Patrol agents to interpret for them,” said Robinson.
The practice of calling on Border Protection for traffic stops with people who can’t speak English could be interpreted as racial profiling, the attorney said.
He was in the process of self deporting with his mom at their own expense but he wanted his diploma.

That’s why I thought what I wrote wasn’t terribly surprising.

i confess that i had a stupid notion based on the masked/no-ID ICE troglodytes: what if they were confronted by a large opposing crowd of people dressed as masked ICE agents who quickly integrated with them, shouting all sorts of conflicting directives (“Look out, he’s a fake!” pointing at any of the originals). yeah… something would go terribly wrong… but it still remains a viable notion at least to the criminal class -sigh- :
