ICE is on Alert. They have been tipped off about a foreigner who will enter the country in the next few days. He is believed to be from the North Pole and driving a vehicle which is unlicensed and has an expired registration. He will probably be arrested, violently. What’s more he is a socialist.

the key to unlocking mysteries that once baffled me is that police and prosecutors at the federal, state, county, and city level are often under-resourced, incompetent, lazy, bigoted, or complicit, and - whatever fiction tells us - don't relish tackling a wealthy or politically connected suspect
