‘Rule of law has never been so meaningless’: Trump – busy pardoning criminals – allows ICE to detain and humiliate U.S. veteran’s daughter

With his latest string of decisions, Donald Trump has sparked fresh concern that, despite the mountain of evidence against disgraced rapper Diddy, he might walk free since the president of America has a penchant for extending pardons to convicted criminals while allowing those deserving due legal process to be detained, tortured, and humiliated. After all, the latter can’t offer him the millions of dollars or a Boeing jet.

Trump recently pardoned Todd and Julie Chrisley on May 27, 2025. The couple, known for their show Chrisley Knows Best, had been serving prison sentences – 10 and 7 years, respectively – since 2023 for committing bank fraud to secure over $30 million and tax evasion. The president, who has firsthand experience of knowing how taxing it is to be held liable for crimes you did commit – the POTUS was found guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records – found kindred souls in the couple and ordered their release. If their daughter, Savannah, being a vocal Trump supporter and frequent Mar-a-Lago guest, further sweetened the deal, we don’t know.
