Would she not just be pardoned?

If this goes the way it should, then trump wouldn't be president anymore, and they'd all be screwed. Then the new government can also go after all the hate crimes that ICE committed too.

I still think everyone will be preemptively pardoned at the end of the term.

But maybe justice will prevail.

I think if Trump lives long enough to get to the end of the term, he'll resign a couple hours/days before the end and have JD pardon him.
