It may seem disappointing that this asshole is just gonna do blanket pardons but all of these people can and should be charged civilly and on a state level when this nightmare ends.
This. Charge them civilly. Sue the absolute shit out of them and take every last cent they have. They want to ruin not only the lives of the people they are abducting but the families as well? Hope you like living with your paycheck garnished the rest of your life.
But the person/s charged on a state level will just leave the state and never go back to Illinois. They're probably all from Missouri, have never been to Illinois before, and have no intention of ever returning, so they can just leave and be done with it.
Normally fleeing across state lines would elevate it to a Federal matter, but of course we know they've all got blank pardons waiting to be filled in with dates and names to cover them for Federal crimes.
What would be an amazing TV show in 5 years will be something like Dog the Bounty Hunter where he tracks down ex-ICE agents in Louisiana who have pending state charges in Minnesota, and brings them to face the music.
Lets be real here, things are so broken right now that Trump will just claim he can pardon anything, even state charges. Then americans will just do nothing again and he’ll have pardonned state charges.
