That's right. A Kenyan migrant broke into a Twin Cities home in 2016 and raped a woman who was in bed sleeping. For some reason, he was only sentenced to two years in jail. He was then set to be deported, since America is no place for foreigners who rape women, but U.S. District Judge David S. Doty stayed the order in 2018 (because of course) and then the rapist managed to get two taxpayer-funded jobs at two state agencies (because of course).
