I think you've done good, and I think at least most of us have been in a similar position as you or even in the position of your liberal friend. Most people however dont change their minds on a dime especially when theyve invested so much of themselves into a position and defined themselves by that position. Unless your friend continues to surround himself in the media and refuses to think about what you said, how you got him to think, then that seed of an idea you planted will take root, and it will bear fruit, just not for a while.
It also seems like your friend is operating under some form of chauvinism e.g. American Exceptionalism, so in any future conversations with your friend I'd maybe do some research on arguments against this, Parenti in Blackshirts and Reds helped stamp out the last of that for me.
The East is Burger
damn maybe he ought to go to an ICC compliant/signatory country and lodge a formal complaint with them in person.
We have thoroughly investigated ourselves and found no evidence of wrongdoing

My workplace has put it out firmly, not to communicate with immigration authorities unless they have a warrant signed by an actual judge, those are the only things that give them any pretense to operate. They will try to use a warrant signed by ICE themselves, or otherwise bamboozle their way inside your workplace, once theyre in they have total discretion and can make up any pretense after the fact to do as much snooping as they want. Dont give them any opportunity you dont have to and play stupid if possible.

Yet another reason to hate Jimmy Carter.
Its so funny too because, somewhat like W. Carter's crimes and malpractice is memory holed and overshadowed by his much worse successors when he was fucking demon! The more you learn about Carter the more you learn to hate just how fucking bad he was for how little he did but just by how much he even still managed to fuck up with 4 years of power.
besides being a mayor isn't about legislating its about administrating. literally the exact opposite role.
politics is when thing i dont like, history is when thing i do like
