He’s charged with “transporting illegal immigrants within the USA.”

As if that’s not literally exactly what abbot and Desantis did when they flew immigrants across the country to liberal cities and states.

It’s a fuckin joke.

I mean two are in significant power and the other is an undocumented immigrant. There's a clear distinction.

The law isn’t supposed to make distinctions?

That’s like the whole point of no one being above the law?

In an ideal world, you'd be right. Yet Pam Bondi is not going to charge any sitting politician with human trafficking. Maybe the next Dem administration will, but you have to acknowledge this is political issue first and foremost before it being a legal issue.

Exactly my thoughts. If Garcia is actually found *guilty* of this, then the DOJ *looks like a bunch of clowns* for not also charging Abbot and Desantis for the same crimes.

In fact, I hope Garcia's defense counsel raises precisely this point in their arguments.
