In response, Sen. Cornyn (R., TX) has issued a statement against putting the
criminals on trial.
Instead, he says in his statement, they should be treated as prisoners of

The other Senator from Texas, fellow Republican Hutchinsion, agrees.
She says that turning criminals over to the US justice system would increase
the danger to Americans because the justice system itself cannot be trusted.
In a related story, both senators issued statements during this very same

punishable by prison time.
Yes - that's right. In one breath they say the justice dept doesn't lock up

About the same time as a "war on drugs", perhaps?

It's an "Underwear Gnome" operation.
