This is a fact. The data is unambiguous and the solutions exist. The only thing missing is the will to act.

Not a crime: "Surrounding" an immigration agent’s van. A crime: A prosecutor secretly meeting with one or more grand jurors. Who has standing to bring charges against the DOJ prosecutor?
9-11.010 - Introduction

This chapter contains the Department's policy on grand jury practice.

In dealing with the grand jury, the prosecutor must always conduct himself or herself as an officer of the court whose function is to ensure that justice is done and that guilt shall not escape nor innocence suffer. The prosecutor must recognize that the grand jury is an independent body, whose functions include not only the investigation of crime and the initiation of criminal prosecution but also the protection of the citizenry from unfounded criminal charges. The prosecutor's responsibility is to advise the grand jury on the law and to present evidence for its consideration. In discharging these responsibilities, the prosecutor must be scrupulously fair to all witnesses and must do nothing to inflame or otherwise improperly influence the grand jurors.

Ken Paxton is one of the most corrupt people in politics. Texans should be sending him to prison — not the Senate.
All along, Mr. Paxton kept getting richer. When he first won public office, he listed his assets as less than $200,000. Two decades later, on an annual state salary of about $150,000, he reported a net worth approaching $8 million with residential properties in Oklahoma, Florida, Utah and Hawaii. Mr.
Paxton has been secretive about the source of his wealth, creating a blind trust and then failing for years to disclose to regulators the assets in that trust as required by state ethics rules.
