The Laken Riley Act was one of the early signs of what was to come. It "requires the detention, without bond, of non-citizens who are arrested for, charged with, or admit to committing certain crimes, including theft, burglary, larceny, shoplifting, assault on a law enforcement officer, or any crime resulting in death or serious bodily injury, such as drunk driving." Yes this includes violent criminals, but from my interpretation it also would include someone accused of stealing a candy bar.

A lot of Democrats voted for it and I consider them collaborators.

    It's worse. Basically anything while getting (unlawfully) arrested can be constructed as "assault on a law enforcement officer".
