A Fatal ICE Shooting Occurred in Texas Months Before Renee Good’s Killing www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/u... Remember when Trump declared he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and get away with it. We should have jailed that fucker the next day and left him there. ICE is a hit team for him.

I'm sick of Democrats whining and not stopping Trump, ICE, etc. The GOP has majorities in Congress but that's a bad excuse. I keep thinking about LBJ. He was the consummate deal maker. I see him face to face with the other party, making deals, threatening to break legs. Using his massive clout.

Abolish ICE is not enough. Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough. We need prosecutions and trials. Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.
