Texas Progressives talk George Floyd, social media, more

The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles continues to politicize the case of George Floyd.

Let's assume that Strangeabbott and DeSatan are indeed engaged in human trafficking, by criminal law definition. Let's also assume that at least one of the Ill Eagles being trafficked by them entered the US before and thus has themselves committed a criminal law violation. On the latter, are Abbott and DeSantis themselves potentially guilty of aiding and abetting, or whatever the federal statute is? I tagged Popehat (Ken White) and Greg Doucette on Twitter, but nether responded. On the former? If they are trafficking by definition, where's Merrick Garland? I mean if, as alleged, DeSatan lied to these people about jobs waiting for them in Massachusetts?
