It shouldn't take Americans getting shot and killed by federal agents for Republicans in Congress to stand up to this lawless behavior. The GOP needs to work with Democrats now to prevent future carnage and hold the Trump administration accountable.
It takes a certain amount of hubris and lack of moral clarity to accuse a man shot and killed by federal agents of being a domestic terrorist before an investigation has even begun. It takes an unbelievable amount of depravity to double down in the face of facts.
FOX NEWS: Are you standing by calling Pretti a domestic terrorist? McLAUGHLIN: Well, we'll let this investigation ... FOX NEWS: Ok. So I guess it stands.
Federal agents have killed 2 U.S. citizens in Minnesota already this month. De-escalation means finding ways to reduce the intensity of a conflict. Sending in the "White House Border Czar" doesn't do that. ICE and CBP need to leave Minnesota NOW.
We now know that it was an ICU nurse who was shot and killed by ICE agents in Minneapolis this morning. Multiple videos show that the only thing he was “brandishing” was a camera phone as he was assisting a woman whom ICE agents had pushed to the ground and pepper-sprayed.
The United States is facing the highest Measles outbreak in decades. RFK Jr. is championing dangerous policies rooted in conspiracy theories instead of science, leaving us unprepared for the next public health emergency.
Five-year-old Liam is now traumatized, sitting in a detention center in Texas, instead of playing with his friends at school. Our government did that - in the most cruel way possible. ICE and this administration are not making America safer.
