Can we enforce our own laws in our own country?

Face it, they need to go back where they came from. Like all the Islamic laws, they will try to make it legal.

ORIGINS OF FEMALE CIRCUMCISION

The origins of female circumcision are obscure but the practice most likely dates back thousands of years. Herodotus reported that female circumcision took place in ancient Egypt during the fifth century b.c. and there is also evidence that early Romans and Arabs had adopted the practice (for review, see 3). At some uncertain point in history, excision practices became associated with the obsessive preoccupation with virginity and chastity that still characterizes many African and Arab cultures today; this combination resulted in the more radical practice of infibulation (3) (for description of procedures, see Box 1).

Hopefully we can. Sounds to me like he must have broken about a dozen. Will it be a jury trial? I didn't catch that detail. I would guess a jury would hear the evidence, take the judge's instructions, and return a just verdict.
