    So what? Do it anyway. PUNISH THEM during that lag between when the offense is detected and when Trump finds out and is able to act (if he chooses to act, which isn’t actually a guarantee). Even if they only sit in a holding cell for a matter of days or even hours, at least the experience of being strip-searched, fingerprinted, having their mugshot taken, and forced to wear an orange jumpsuit would be SOMETHING!

      You can get a conviction expunged from your record but the record that you were arrested never goes away. Even if you aren’t convicted, try getting into an apartment in a decent area with an arrest for kidnapping on your record.
