Another bus from Texas carrying migrants from south of the border arrived in Los Angeles Saturday, the 10th such arrival since June 14, Mayor Karen Bass’ office announced.

This is just a repeat of the "Reverse Freedom Rides," and nothing happened then either. You really expect a sitting governor to be convicted of interstate human trafficking and/or child trafficking? The Catholic Church trafficked hundreds of thousands of children and didn't even get a slap on the wrist!
Nope. As usual, I have no expectation of the rich and powerful being held responsible for their actions in the US, but that doesn't mean that I can't point it out.
Technically I believe each person counts as a single human trafficking charge. If someone had balls they’d bring up 200+ suits against him for it. I’m sure some civil rights attorney would love it
No. It is not a good idea for the President to direct the DoJ to prosecute his political rivals.
Throw a fucking fit all you want, pretend Democrats are conservatives all you want. But eliminating the independence of the justice system and demanding it prioritize political opponents of the regime is corrupt shit.
Joe Biden is doing the right thing by not demanding the DoJ prosecute. I'm not even sure what law he would use, unless the migrants were lured under false pretenses. Handing someone a bus ticket isn't human trafficking or illegal in and of itself, and governors have wide legal immunity against criminal prosecution for their actions.
I filed a police report against them and got taken down by 2 dozen cops who shut down three square blocks to do so and ransacked my place. Spent two days in solitary before seeing a judge who, none the wiser of what LAPD had done, wiped my entire criminal record clean. LA cops, lawyers, and more were dog whistling their support, informing about new surveillance intricacies and how to proceed without raising alarms. They didn't want to, but said they had to follow up to satisfy the little Hitlers.
Garland's new policy on political threats, I think, is a major blow to conservatives, because they are more prone to self incrimination, impulsive escalation, and emotional reasoning. The fact it's now a felony is a big deal; they are being brought to heel; it's realpolitiks and I'm here for it. I know a man in New York got pinched yesterday for threatening MTG, but people with no priors used to be really powerful. Now, not so much.
Abbott and Desantis are cutting off the nose to spite the face and each stunt is just another truckload of evidence--sometimes literally. Tying the misleading brochures to the leaders is critical. Conservatives also are unaware of how far reaching digital forensics can be. If you think the repudiation of fascism will end with the downfall of MAGA, you've got another thing coming. And it's going to look a lot like Nuremberg.
For it to be kidnapping it'd have to be against their will. Since they're illegally in the country, it's human trafficking, but unlikely to be kidnapping.
The decision, since they were already caught, is either "you're being deported to Mexico" or "you can go to LA, a sanctuary city where you can not be deported"
Again, it's human trafficking for sure... But without more information it's tough to say kidnapping.
Time to collect the abortion bounty from Texas by claiming these migrants were seeking an abortion in California. Have everyone sue governor Abbott for this.
On that note I can recommend this podcast episode of Déjà News:
As conservative governors try to score political points by depositing busloads and planeloads of migrants in liberal cities, it can seem like an unprecedented exercise in cruelty. But it’s a page ripped from an earlier playbook in U.S. politics, one that was forgotten for decades for a very good reason. Rachel Maddow and Isaac-Davy Aronson revisit the racist Reverse Freedom Rides of the 1960s.
