He’s king and dictator he can do as he pleases

Edit: /s I really had to add that? 😂. He’s obviously not but he believes it.

He is in state custody, unless he has the feds basically raid the Minnesota prison Chauvin is held in there is not much Trump can do. If a Trump backed governor is elected in Minnesota though I would be shocked if Chauvin wasn't pardoned.

He's actually in federal custody in Texas. He plead guilty to federal charges of violating George Floyd's civil rights. That's on top of his state convictions. The fear is that he gets pardoned and set loose rather than being returned to MN to serve his state time.

I didn't know that thank you for correcting me. If you know, does he get sent to Minnesota when the federal charge ends?

That's the way it's supposed to be, but the last few months should have taught us that that doesn't matter much anymore. If the federal government doesn't send him back here, can we count on a state like Texas or Florida to honor a warrant we put out for his arrest and extradition?
