This 33-year-old nurse told the FBI she knew she was “going to set him free” after border patrol agents brought in a man whose face was bloodied and seriously injured. She treated him and helped him escape, and she faces charges now. He got away, and they never relocated him.

These people had protected status. They lived here legally. They worked, they paid taxes. They made lives. Raised families. Now we’ve dehumanized them. Ripped away that protection and told them to get out. This is a stain on the soul of this Nation.

A few ideas for reform. Feel free to add your own. Give Congress power to override a presidential pardon within 60 days by simple majority. Expand House by 100 seats. Expand USSC to 13 justices (one for each circuit) Maximum age limit for Congress. 75 Amendment to override Trump v US (immunity)

For me, reform of the pardon is paramount. The Administration is full of people acting lawlessly because they know there will be no consequences. I think reform of the pardon would have broad public support, too.
