“I’m saying it right now,” Homan said. “There’s still going to be more bloodshed unless they shut their mouth and let ICE enforce the laws that they enacted.”

DHS has acknowledged that neither of the men who have been shot in recent weeks was the target of the ICE operations that led to their deaths.

A witness reported that Guerrero shouted, “I tried to stop” after being shot by an agent while his vehicle moved forward slowly.

      Might want to check the voting record on ICE establishment, support and funding there sport.

      Right up until well into the 2020s they were a bipartisan effort.

        This reminds me of the “you know, the southern states who supported slavery were all democrats” rhetoric.

        ICE before 2024 was a completely different agency. Trying to argue that the democratic party is somehow to blame for Trump’s executive orders, the construction/creation of concentration camps over the last year, and mass hiring of a bunch of untrained white nationalists is an absolutely insane take.

            And Abraham Lincoln was a Republican, and Strom Thurmond was a Democrat, and Stalin was a seminary student! Before becoming an exiled Social Democrat! Oooooh!

              Huh. So you literally don’t know that Obama appointed the current head of ICE, Tom Homan, to his position? I’m not surprised that you think it’s a crazy piece of propaganda, it surprised me too.

                Huh. So you literally don’t know that both humans, parties, and political organizations change over the span of their lifetimes, and very frequently become the opposite of what they started out being?

                Or that others failing to respond to your obvious shoehorn when your “both sides the same” fell flat on its face is not an accurate measure of their personal knowledge on that subject?

                Or that you personally, and not anyone else, brought the word “propaganda” into what others are conducting as a simple online conversation without effort to steer it to a desired political conclusion?

                Unlike yourself, none of this was ever a surprise to me at all. Best go check with your trainer to find out what to say next.

                  They do, yep. I do not see how that is relevant to the fact that the Democrats did in fact help build the current border protection system, and deserve a lot of the blame.

                  The thing that may redeem them as a party is that they are possibly changing their minds. I recognise that. It does not change their past complicity, especially Biden’s.

                  And this is not like the shift from Lincoln, or the racist history of the Democrats. This is recent history. Don’t be a wanker.
