Donald Trump is breaking the law and there's one way to deal with it, a former Republican strategist said.

Stuart Stevens, Chief Strategist of Romney's 2012 presidential campaign, appeared on MSNBC on Sunday to discuss the Trump Administration's wrongful removal of a man from El Salvador.

Asked about the latest developments in the legal case involving the man, Stevens suggested how to hold Trump accountable.

"What do you do with criminals? You arrest them," Stevens said. "So this is criminal activity."

He then added, "And I think the state attorney generals in these states where this is occurring should treat it like what it is. It's kidnaping. It's human trafficking. They should file charges and arrest the people that are involved with this."

The host of the Sunday MSNBC show called the idea a "bold move."
