The President orders his opposition imprisoned immediately and without trial. The officers who violate those individuals civil rights can be prosecuted. The jailers who are illegally holding them prosecuted as well. Soldiers and police officers are to obey all lawful orders but not unlawful ones.

Where do you draw the line if you give the President immunity? This whole thing is ridiculous!
