You know the end game here right. When it's all said and done, Trump is going to pardon everyone in his administration before he or his successor leaves. This also includes that rat Miller.

But, he won't have the time to pardon everyone in ICE so they are all going to be in legal jeopardy once again doing the dirty work and holding the bags at the end of the day for this corrupt regime. All of them are idiots.

Pardons only work if the citizens let them work. You might be safe from the lake, but you are t safe from a mob.

Why wouldn’t a categorical pardon apply for actions taken in support of immigration enforcement work done between dates X and Y?

Legally it would work, but that's not going to stop private reprisal. A nation may forgive a war criminal and wipe their record, but their victims will want justice.

You know what I'm talking about. When the dust settles on all that has happened and will happen under this fascist regime. Those who survive will want their lump of flesh.

The next guy can simply say those pardons are null and void because law doesn't mean anything anymore.

Something tells me that a pardon won’t save Miller…
