I hate immigration discourse bc it always devolves into the problem being some people are too morally good to be deported compared to whatever racist caricature of bad immigrants fox news is peddling that week, but actually the problem is just deportation

ICE cannot increase its enforcement of people with deportable convictions much bc they were already deporting almost all of them

How many non citizen "sex traffickers and violent criminals" do people think are out there 1) at all and 2) that ICE was ignoring previously?? This chart shows enforcement has gone up for everyone there are just a lot more people with no criminal record who exist

Do you think it was part of the judge's instructions that jurors were not to go to Subway and get their own sandwich to see if it hurts to get one thrown at you?

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.

"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.

"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

To be a robbery it needs to be located in the violence/threat of violence area of action, otherwise it's just a sparkling grand larceny

I assume this is bc the actual definition of a burglary is incomprehensible to those without lawyer brain but you'd at least think we could learn what a robbery is

This Louvre heist reminds me of one of my great pet peeves, that we as a society do not teach people the difference between a burglary and a robbery
