What would stop the Regime from snatching a US Citizen off the streets and shipping them to El Salvador without a proper hearing? Last takes it another step further

I just wish the script writers weren't from The Office

The guy is more suited for selling used cars on late night TV than being the leader of what was formerly the greatest country in the free world.
