If SCOTUS somehow were to say "actually, the President can pardon state crimes" the appropriate response from the state would be "no, he cannot"
Yet. We’ve had how many years of “He can’t” until SCOTUS gives him permission.
I’d be surprised if they didn‘t discuss it with Roberts and friends to get preapproved before he signed the pardon.

Again, this violates state law: "a law enforcement agency or official may not... support, or assist in any capacity with an immigration agent's enforcement operations, including any collateral assistance such as ... establishing a security or traffic perimeter surrounding such operations"
In a second example of local police securing a path for Bovino's caravan today, Evanston cops just assisted with the feds' departure by blocking and directing traffic.

I hope Trump lives.
I hope he lives long enough to see a blue wave in 2026, and another in '28. I hope he lives long enough to see all his damage reversed, and all his cronies indicted. I hope he lives long enough to see justice for his own crimes, against the public and the world.

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."
