Oh. We don’t need to seize his assets until he is convicted. He should be able to send them wherever he wants in the mean time. Right?
He is a noncitizen who by all indications has committed crimes and has attempted to flee prosecution. I have no problem whatsoever with freezing or even seizing his assets. Conflating this with civil asset forfeiture directed at US citizens under the guise of the war on drugs, seized without in many instances even a charge let alone a conviction, is just wrong and if you advocate this I hope you find yourself vacationing in a state that permits civil asset forfeiture, get pulled over, a drug dog "alerts" although there are no drugs in the vehicle and it's seized leaving you stranded and having to spend a great deal of money attempting to prove your innocence in order to get your property returned to you. That's what you're advocating if so.
Since when does the gov’t need a conviction to seize your assets?
What was this yahoo charged with? Spitting on the sidewalk?
