The fascinating thing here is that the government’s lawyer, the one supposed to argue against this guy’s return, appears to have sided against the government.

"Give us 24 hours to get him back, Reuveni said. “That was my recommendation to my client but that hasn’t happened”

    Literally.

    That guy should come home with a fucking purple heart equivalent or something. Should be retired. Every person who failed to act should be held criminally liable to the absolute highest letter of every state law for every state they passed through and were processed (or not processed).

    Dozens of people should spend time in jail for this mistake. An example must be set.

      Yup if doctors and lawyers can be held accountable for malpractice, negligence, so should politicians and their administration. They are ruining people lives and treating it like a game.

        We can’t even hold the president accountable to follow the law and the constitution.

          We can’t put him in prison, but he can be held accountable in a way he will like much less.

            If it doesn’t include some French or Italian inspiration, it’s not enough.
