Economics Without The B.S.**:
[** Double entendre intended.]
The Trump Administration right now is rounding up people in San Diego and Los Angeles who they say are criminals, with the criminality having to do with coming into this country illegally, without documents, and in some cases forging documents (like a Social Security card) so that they could find legal work.
After all, President Trump has already pardoned people who were convicted of rape, sexual abuse of a minor, and the January 6th insurrection to include seditious conspiracy. He also commuted the sentences of the leaders of the January 6th insurrection.

“Reports from NPR indicate that among the individuals pardoned by Donald Trump who were involved in the January 6th Capitol riot, some had prior criminal convictions for charges including rape. These pardons specifically applied to their January 6th-related offenses, but their previous criminal records, including for violent crimes, were part of their history.
For example, NPR identified dozens of defendants with prior convictions or pending charges for crimes such as rape, sexual abuse of a minor, and domestic violence who received pardons from Trump for their involvement in the January 6th events."
“On his first day in office (January 20, 2025), Donald Trump issued a sweeping proclamation granting clemency to over 1,500 people convicted or charged with offenses related to the January 6th Capitol attack.
This included:
• Commuting the sentences of 14 individuals, notably leaders of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, who had been convicted of serious charges like seditious conspiracy. Their convictions remain on record, but they were released from prison.
• Granting a full, complete, and unconditional pardon to all other individuals convicted of offenses related to the January 6th events.
• Directing the Department of Justice to dismiss with prejudice all pending indictments against individuals for their conduct related to January 6th.
This means that a large number of individuals who participated in the January 6th events, including some who assaulted police officers or engaged in violent acts, had their sentences commuted or were fully pardoned. These actions were met with significant criticism, with opponents arguing that they undermined the rule of law and downplayed the seriousness of the attack on the Capitol.”
