The president can't issue pardons for state convictions, so: prosecute offenders at the state level for state crimes.

Well, then we'll just have a situation where texas and Florida are safe havens for these people, and the governor will refuse to extradite them to New York or whatever to face trial
Well then they'd be forced to live the rest of their lives in the prison of Florida and Texas.

I hope they have enough direct flights to not have a layover in an unfriendly state.

But is that better or worse than the current situation where they're not prosecuted at all?
