President Trump should pardon him, and then direct federal prosecutors to go after any mayor or other elected official who defies federal immigration laws.

It's a federal misdemeanor with a 6 mo. max sentence. Since he already lost his election he could either fight it and spend a bunch, or see if he can get no jail. But in Texas he'd lose his LTC, though could still carry under LEOSA.... :shock:

It's concidered normal for Arizona politicians to serve prison time.

I think that both judges, the one that issued the original order as well as this one should be charged with, maybe treason. They charged him for following federal law.

One of the all time great political slogans: Edwin Edwards when an opponent running against him for Governor was slamming him for all his shady deals had bumper stickers put out that said "I'd rather be corrupt than inept" --he won handily. In 1983 running for reelection in 84, he stated " the only way I can lose this election is to get caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy"--he won again. Louisiana has a history of "colorful" politicos. :biggrinjester:
