Enforce the law

A euphemism used to represent rapid and massive deportation of undocumented immigrants in the United States. In 2016, Republican presidential candidates Donald Trump and Ted Cruz were often quoted as saying "I will enforce the law" when asked about their stance on illegal immigration.

Federal immigration law says, if we apprehend an individual who is here illegally, they are to be deported. I will enforce the law. -- Ted Cruz

braking the law

Illegally slowing down.

Slapping a "Hit me --- I need the insurance money" sticker on your bumper may indeed be an uproarious action that's protected under the First Amendment, but it also might cause the fuzz to suspiciously eagle-eyeball your speed-changes to see if you're braking the law.

bar in the law

Refers to a block or obstacle that prevents the user from attaining his or her goal. A sort of happy coincidence.

Bill: "Man, I can't marry Bianca until her bitch sister gets hitched!"
Will: "Neither can I!"
Bill: "Well, I guess this bar in the law makes us friends."
