I realize this is a different charge, as aside does anyone know if double jeopardy applies to illegal aliens?

(does) double jeopardy applies to illegal aliens

It applies to the courts of the US. The citizenship or (lack of) is not pertinent. (unfortunately so, in this case).

“I realize this is a different charge, as aside does anyone know if double jeopardy applies to illegal aliens?”

Probably the same protections on double jeopardy applies to Illegals. But, as others have said, this is NOT double-jeopardy because one set of charges are state, and the other is federal - and according to the Supreme Court, that means it is NOT double-jeopardy.

I guess if the federal charges also fail, we can refer him to the World Court, then the Solar System Court, then the Galaxy Court, and then the Universe Court. Eventually either some court will convict him or he’ll run out of money (or spaceship fare) to pay his bills.

In other words, Supreme Court or not, it sure as heck sounds like double jeopardy and I’d like to see the court reverse itself here - but not until AFTER we put that a-hole in jail.

They made their statement and now Trump will make his.

The federal charges will be different than the ones in the SF trial.

Not double jeopardy. SF cannot prosecute Federal Crimes, such as immigration violations.
