Ron Swanson, as much as he hated government, loved his friends more.
He would have fought literal tooth and nail to protect Tom from getting deported.
I'm mixed on whether he would have supported DOGE. There's an entire episode where he's on record of "slashing the budget with a machete" but in that same episode sacrificing his job to save Leslie.
Tom is from South Carolina. There was a whole plotline about him marrying a Canadian woman so she could get a green card.
Oh I wholeheartedly know.
But ICE has and continues to arrest citizens. Not sure if they have gone through with trying to deport them but Trump is on record saying that he wants to be able to deport "undesirable" citizens.
So yeah....Tom might be from South Carolina but he's on the lower half of the Peter Griffin skin color chart.
Yeha I was just thinking that after I posted the comment.
There were a lot of people deported to El Salvdor without trial. So there is no way to know whether or not any of them were citizens.
The rest of the cast often seems to forget that, so the plotline could still work
Yeah for sure... "We gotta stop Trump before he deports Tom!"
"Uhhh.... I'm from South Carolina..."
