Enraged Democrats plan to "double down" on ICE visits

Enraged Democrats plan to "double down" on ICE visits
    Andrew Solender

In their fury over the Trump administration's charges against Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.), House Democrats are planning to ramp up oversight visits to ICE facilities, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: The prosecution effort has, to a shocking degree, galvanized Democrats on an issue that perennially divides them — with even the party's centrist border hawks railing against it.

    "Members are getting increasingly angry and frustrated at the overreach, and now one of our members has been singled out for intimidation," said House Administration Committee ranking member Joe Morelle (D-N.Y.).
    Rep. Greg Landsman (D-Ohio), a moderate, told Axios: "Democrats should be all over oversight. ... We have to double down. We have to do more."

What we're hearing: Several House Democratic groups have discussed organizing oversight visits to ICE facilities during the next week's recess, multiple lawmakers familiar with the conversations told Axios.

    Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) told Axios that "many of us were going to go visit anyway, and we're going to move those visits as soon as we can."
    "We actually discussed at our Progressive Caucus meeting ... doing more of those visits," said Progressive Caucus chair Greg Casar (D-Texas), who said members want to show they "will not be cowed" by Trump.

Desperately trying to manufacture a bogeyman to justify violent revolution.

They broke the law, simple as that. No amount of self-lionizing moral posturing is going to change that.

The party where their only ideas are bad ideas.  It must be hard to be stuck on stupid.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Dems want confrontation to create the appearance to the Progressive base that they are "fighting" for iilegal border crossers.

Even better if it's taped (ye olde fart word) and can be used for screen bites on the news, ads, and Internet propaganda.

The Dems want and need physical confrontation.  The best thing that could happen for GOP, is that the Dems show up to an ICE detention center, and it was empty.  That completely lets the air out of the righteous anger tires.

Send as many illegal border crossers home on as many 3:00 AM flights as logistically feasible.

...


Not for the "Progressive Base" at all.

It's for the over 20M illegals allowed across our border during the Biden Administration.

Actually that is not true.  Past studies show Hispanics by the 2nd generation vote Republican.

The Democommies are in transition to becoming full blown communist.  Hard to believe, but exactly true.  Because of this, it is people like AOC that are ascending, because it takes aggressive players to seize control and transition to a totalitarian form of governance.  And the Dems left to their own devices would turn the USA into another USSR if they could.  They want the people to be subservient, and the UGLY TRUTH is that it could happen in the USA.

And then there is the degenerate wing of the party, that believes strongly that men/boys should be in womens'/girls' sports, should be able to alter the physical being of children if that is their desire to the opposite gender, etc, with no regard to the fact that children usually do not think about their reproductive ability and what it might mean to them as they become older, more mature, and actually desiring such, when after altering their body and becoming sterile, they have regret and many commit suicide because of it.

Tucker Carlson highlighted a girl who from the age of three wanted to be a boy, and there was reporting on a boy who from the age of 2 or 3 wanted to be a girl and the parents raised both children in their desired gender.  IMHO opinion, both sets of parents were wrongly counseled.  They made their decisions on the basis the child would commit suicide if it did not get its desire versus seeking proper mental counseling for the child.  In a brief moment of clarity, John Hopkins halted gender reassignment surgery and labeled these folks as having a mental disorder, which is exactly what it is. 

The Dems have no leader, no group of leaders to steer them in a healthy direction to attract folks to their mindset.  They have lost key segments of what was once solely theirs, and I am not sure they will ever get it back.  Their tax and spend policies have finally kicked them in the teeth.  And rightfully so.

And this nut job senator from Maryland that went to El Salvador for the gang banger, what the hell is he thinking?  He is a moron on his best day.  And if the folks of Maryland are smart, he will get primaried with his next election. 

But one of the worst things right now are our courts.  The judges are way out of control and need to be reigned in, big time.  All these regional judges have no business stopping the executive branch.  Congress really needs to get off their atrophied posterior and end this nonsense.  Again, one more reason we need another Continental Congress to update our Constitution.

Fine, make as many inspections as you wish!  Just don't try to bums rush the fences again.  Make an appointment like normal people do.

I will NOT comply.
