How can investigators say that, when they were prevented from leaving by bolts on the doors?
If you really want to get technical, it was an extortion thing. They refused to let at least one of the smuggled people go unless more money was paid, on threat of murder.

Kansas Republican Representative Mark Samsel Arrested for Battering Student
Kansas Republican Representative Mark Samsel was arrested on charges of misdemeanor battery on Thursday after physically assaulting a student while substitute teaching in Wellsville.
Samsel, 36, was booked into the Franklin County Adult Detention Center after 3:30 p.m. Thursday. He has since been released on $1,000 bond, Sheriff Jeff Richards said.
Superintendent Ryan Bradbury said that Samsel will no longer be allowed to work for the district.
On Wednesday, Samsel, R-Wellsville, was substitute teaching at the Wellsville school district's secondary school. Throughout the day, high school students began recording videos of the lawmaker talking about suicide, sex, masturbation, God, and the Bible.
In one video, Samsel tells students about "a sophomore who's tried killing himself three times," because "he has two parents and they're both females."
In another video, Samsel is recorded telling students, "Make babies. Who likes making babies? That feels good, doesn't it? Procreate. You haven't masturbated? Don't answer that question. God already knows."
Still other videos shared by parents of students in the class show Samsel grabbing a male student, telling him, "You're about ready to anger me and get the wrath of God. Do you believe me when I tell you that God has been speaking to me?"
He then pushes him, and the student runs to the other side of the classroom. "You should run and scream."
In another video, he tells students, "Class, you have permission to kick him in the balls."
Parents report that Samsel then "put hands on the student" and kneed him in the crotch. In a video taken immediately after the incident, the student is shown on the ground. Samsel is standing over him and says, "did it hurt?"
Samsel addresses another student and says, "do you want to check his nuts for him, please?"
He then asks the student why he is about to start crying, pats him on the shoulder and apologizes, and then says he can "go to the nurse, she can check it for you."
Other videos show Samsel's classroom in chaos as he talks about the devil, God, and how the Bible was edited.
He tells a student to go to the office, "You were not following—not my rules—God's rules right now. You better take a Bible. Keep denying God, keep denying God, see how it's going to turn out."
The videos angered dozens of parents, who felt that their children were put in danger. Samsel works with students in several capacities, including as a referee and through church groups, parents said.
"I'm a concerned parent who doesn't want this swept under the rug," said father Joshua Zeck. "He's around kids all the time. He's a state representative. He's in a position of power."
Samsel is the second Kansas lawmaker to be arrested this year. Former Senate Majority Leader Gene Suellentrop, a Wichita Republican, was charged with felony eluding and fleeing from police and also faces misdemeanor charges of drunk and reckless driving after allegedly driving the wrong way on Topeka highways on March 16th. He was forced to step down from his leadership post.
On Twitter, Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas posted: "What the hell is going on with the #KSLEG this session?" He added that Samsel "shouldn't just be terminated from substituting. He should be blocked from being around all kids."
The district reported the incident, and an investigation was conducted by the Wellsville Police Department and Franklin County Sheriff's Office. After the investigation, Samsel was arrested for misdemeanor battery, according to a news release.
Samsel, who is an attorney, is in his second term in the House, where he's occasionally courted controversy. In February, he was one of just 13 lawmakers to vote against a bill that would have ended an exemption for spouses from the state's sexual battery law.
Ahead of the vote, he gave a speech in which he argued that spousal rape is not possible, because marriage implies consent.
another super-tough trumper. now lets see that fake tough guy swagger-monkey try to pull that stunt off in front of the child's parents.

"Corporal punishment, also referred to as "physical punishment" or "physical discipline,"[2] is defined as using physical force, no matter how light, to cause deliberate bodily pain or discomfort in response to some undesired behavior."
"The practice was held constitutional in the 1977 Supreme Court case Ingraham v. Wright, where the Court held that the Cruel and Unusual Punishments Clause of the Eighth Amendment did not apply to disciplinary corporal punishment in public schools, being restricted to the treatment of prisoners convicted of a crime."
"As of 2014, a student is struck in a U.S. public school an average of once every thirty seconds"
"Corporal punishment in school is illegal in Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, which makes the USA the only western-world country where corporal punishment in school is still allowed"
Crazy courts don't really single out republicans though. Buck vs Bell was way worse then corporal punishment, and it wasn't a Republican who said "Three generations of imbeciles is enough", to justify fixing a woman like a dog.

Yet was himself such a statist, he publicly proclaimed his assets willed to the state.
A good example of how bi-partisanship isn't necessarily a good thing though, if a man like OWH gets a supreme court seat.
I say this not as an example of a bad Democrat, but as a bad man. Seriously, this is one case where calling someone a Nazi is not hyperbole (I mean, he had a woman fixed like a dog!)

The man was born in 1841, Republicans then were a lot different then today. Frankly, he was a Big L leftist in the sense he lobbied for supremacy of the State, beloeved in a living constitution (Which to him meant it says whatever he wants to get the result he wants)
Democrat, Republican, neither term really fits what he was.
Which is a Nazi.

2020, black man pleads guilty of writing the graffiti.
So he was trying to stir the pot. Couldn't this be charged with trying to start a riot?
