Except the article says that his visa was expired. So on the most stupid of technical levels, he broke the law because he overstayed on an expired visa. Something that deserves an annoyed “You should’ve renewed this earlier,” and that’s it, but enough of a technicality for the racists to legally ruin his life.

That’s not at all what they’re saying. I don’t know how so many people didn’t get this, but what they’re saying is, “Technically, he did break the law, but only at the most bureaucratic level that deserves basically a guy at the DMV shaking their finger sternly at you, and they’ll use this technicality to pump up their figures of how many ‘criminals’ they’ve arrested and send this guy who did nothing wrong to gods’ know where and ruin his life.”

They literally called him a hard-working family man.

They do, and they haven’t been quiet about it. Project 2025 has it all laid out, and it’s just the latest in a long line of these plans that they openly talk about. It’s just that nobody ever listens. They openly talked about how they made up the men in women’s bathroom thing to make people hate trans women. In 2015. There are 10 year old articles about how they made it up, and yet people are still freaking out about it.
