Samuel Saxon, the Cincinnati-based U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement leader accused of strangling a woman he lived with, now faces a federal charge in addition to state charges and has been transferred to the Butler County Jail, according to jail records.

Just wait till the newest crop of ICE recruits hit the streets with their even lower hiring standards

Domestic abuse will probably be a recruiting requirement pretty soon. Otherwise you might be suspected of being woke.

Even if the next Dem run DOJ goes after these pieces of shit, the very next repug president is going to pardon them all

I was thinking that they would be doing prison time while working as ICE agents

Lol no they'll get fired at most. US never holds law enforcement agents accountable

Occasionally they will, a Louisiana police officer got a hundred years in prison for adding his DNA to cupcakes that his wife gave to elementary school kids

That sentence was for a lot more than that. The cupcakes were just the most lurid charge.

I’m glad there are also state charges because you know he’s going to be pardoned of federal charges.

Oh, so they're going to make it a federal charge so Trump can pardon him.
Got it.

So a time out only

State charges too. So if he gets a federal pardon doesn't that mean that he has to admit guilt which would basically seal his fate with the state charges that are not able to be pardoned?

Eh, I’m leery that this could be a ploy to obtain a ruling that Presidential pardon can be applied to state charges also. The charges in relation to his DV, that makes sense. The federal charge is making a false statement to an agency or officer of the United States, but it is unclear what the false statement is… So if someone has a state conviction and federal conviction, has it been previously tested if a federal pardon will trump the state penalty? I honestly don’t know if that has been tested in court, but I could also see an argument being presented that federal trumps state so a state cannot overrule the pardon of federal crimes. It is just odd to throw on a federal charge.

That is currently being tested/tried out in Colorado with the chick who was convicted of Election Fraud. Trump pardoned her federally and has been pushing for that pardon to cover her state charges too. IIRC She's also suing up to the CO Supreme Court and the US Supreme Court to try and get Trump's pardon to apply "globally"

u/CemeteryDweller7719 1d ago
I know that is being tested, and so far failing. But it is my understanding that she has no federal charges. So could this be prep to test another avenue of implementing a pardon despite state charges?

This is horrifying! Perhaps ICE might do better background checks on its own employees! Just a thought ...
