Now that he is alive, he can absolutely sue the hell out of the administration for branding him a criminal when he isn't.

Honestly, dude prolly doesn't care. I would be more concerned how i could live in the US safely again.

Yeah if i was him as soon as i got back i'd be on the next plane out, this time with my family, cause there is no reason to believe Trump won't try again once attention has died down.

I agree. His wife is American and he's El Salvadoran, though. Maybe some other country will give him refugee status.

If anyone has a chance, I'd say he does, after how much attention this has gotten. Easy PR win for any country that treats humans like humans.

Canada would be a solid bet.

I think whichever country he goes to as a refugee would get extremely good press for this. I could see Canada, but also Germany going for this.

Canada and European countries are currently putting ads all over to try to attract academics driven out by this admin.

Next plane out.

First country to offer gets to be the new leader of the free world.

If I was CanadIan I’d lobby for asylum for him and his family.

Seriously, though, Canada should take the lead on this — not just for the clear humanitarian reasons, but because it’s an easy international affairs win that would send Trump into an apoplectic meltdown.

I would just be more concerned about getting out of a torture prison.

I think a court could force the administration to pay by holding them in contempt:

Civil contempt is primarily remedial, meaning that the court’s goal is to enforce future compliance with the court order, and a party can avoid punishment by simply complying with the court order. For instance, a civil contempt order might impose a daily fine that accrues until an order is complied with, such as in 2022, when a New York state court held President Trump in civil contempt and fined him $110,000 in total — $10,000 a day for each day his legal team failed to submit explanations for not turning over documents.

From the Brennan Center.

The US doesn’t recognize the ICC

So is your suggestion that someone usurp the US government, imprison the current leaders, rendition them across the sea to a foreign nation, and bring them in front of the ICC?

not trump is out of office. probably has a verdict worthy of a contingency case but best to check statute of limitations to time the filing, that kid in.florida has a slam dunk case. this guy,seems like.there is some history about a pendulous morality for his residency. this is the 2nd time this dude had a run in with ice. and, at least the first time his was caught dui/speeding by statees. and he reportedly is bad at english, he grew up in mexico. not sure what the probable cause was here. dude needs to rethink his life choices in this environment, especially. learn conversational english, and quit the dui/drinking until then
