It's worth noting here that the President, as per the supreme Court, is immune from all prosecution if his actions result from the scope of his duties. It would be trivial for Trump to argue that deporting everybody he doesn't like is within the scope of his duties, whether it's lawful or not. That's the unique danger we face right now: a combination of a strong man and a uniquely deferential SCOTUS. It's never happened in American history.
