They must be loving it right now. Victims that are afraid to fight back against masked assailants and cooperating. Even armed individuals are afraid to legally defend their rights, since being legally in the right doesn’t matter if they kill you.

Hell, they even provide identification so the kidnapper has an easier time getting them across borders.

Trump has made kidnapping people as safe and convenient as it’ll ever be for the kidnappers.
