Congress is debating the possible consequences for ICE and even Noem after Renee Good’s killing
Behold, the “Associated” “Press” characterizes “Congress” as:
“The situation that took place in Minnesota is a complete and total disgrace,” House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York said as details emerged. “And in the next few days, we will be having conversations about a strong and forceful and appropriate response by House Democrats.”
* * * * “The videos I’ve seen from Minneapolis yesterday are deeply disturbing,” said Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, in a statement.
* * * * “We’ve been warning about this for an entire year,” said Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-Fla.
* * * * Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy, the top Democrat on the subcommittee that handles Homeland Security funding, plans to introduce legislation to rein in the agency with constraints on federal agents’ authority, including a requirement that the Border Patrol stick to the border and that DHS enforcement officers be unmasked.
* * * * “More Democrats are saying today the thing that a number of us have been saying since April and May: Kristi Noem is dangerous. She should not be in office, and she should be impeached,” said Democratic Rep. Delia Ramirez, who represents parts of Chicago where ICE launched an enhanced immigration enforcement
action last year that resulted in two deaths.* * * * “I’m not completely against deportations, but the way they’re handling it is a real disgrace,” said Rep. Vicente Gonzalez, D-Texas, who represents a district along the U.S.-Mexico border [sic]
“Right now, you’re seeing humans treated like animals,” he said.
* * * * To Rep. Chuy Garcia, D-Ill., Good’s death “brought back heart-wrenching memories of those two shootings in my district.”
“It looks like the fact that a US citizen, who is a white woman, may be opening the eyes of the American public, certainly of members of Congress, that what’s going on is out of control,” he said, “that this isn’t about apprehending or pursuing the most dangerous immigrants.”
So “Congress” in this context is a hella lotta Democrats plus Lisa Murkowski, a “Republican.”
Who are going to introduce legislation. And to impeach.
This is “debate.”
This is “Associated” “Press.”
