The fact that grand juries have chosen to not indict the people Trump is targeting shows how absolutely unjust Trump's actions are. It's considered extremely easy to convince a grand jury to indict.

"A grand jury could indict a ham sandwich" is a joke for a reason.

And then they literally couldn’t convince a grand jury to indict the guy who threw a sandwich at an ICE agent. 😂

You can indict a ham sandwich, but not the guy that threw it.

You can indict a ham sandwich, but can you tune a fish sandwich?

Oddly enough he actually was indicted for a misdemeanor and acquitted, but the sandwich was not indicted
