    Ceballos also acknowledged that he “probably” voted for Kobach and former president Donald Trump several times because he automatically selects the candidates with an “R” beside their names.

    Like many voters in rural Comanche County on the Oklahoma border, Ceballos said he “always voted for all the Republicans.”

    Stupid or Evil don’t make no difference to me, he’s getting what’s coming to him.

    “I feel for Joe and the community, and I hope it can get worked out in the legal system,” Hoffman said.

    How about the other thousands of people who had a right to Due Process but have been kidnapped or murdered by ICE? This guy is special? GTFO.

      My goal was achieved then, you at least read the article before commenting.

      Many people weren’t.

      Fair perspective.

      Serious question here. Do you think that someone’s voting history should determine how the law is applied? It sounds like your saying that because bad things happened to good people in the past (days, weeks, months, and currently happening) that we should not give Due Process to this person because of their voting history. When I read the article I didn’t get the sense that he was asking to get special treatment because he voted a certain way. I read it as a person scared and hurt, the exact same tone I have unfortunately read hundreds of times this past year.

        Sir, this is a small consolation prize for failing to understand my meaning.

        Due Process is for EVERYONE. Implying that it is a privilege only afforded to this camp or that camp is exactly what the Republicans are doing right now. This guy either A) didn’t care that the person he voted for was threatening to take it away from “other people,” or B) didn’t even know what he was doing at all. But who cares what knot was used in the binding?
