Democrat 'Shocked' by ICE Violence, Votes for More
The Hill reports a House Democrat moving to introduce impeachment articles against South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem following an ICE shooting. While the headlines scream 'accountability,' one might ponder the timing and selective outrage. This performative indignation conveniently sidesteps the legislative actions that consistently empower and expand agencies like ICE, turning a blind eye until a
sufficiently photogenic crisis emerges. It’s a classic D.C. maneuver: condemn the symptom while funding the disease. Politicians will grandstand against individual acts of violence or mismanagement, all while voting to increase budgets, expand powers, and provide immunity for the very institutions they claim to be shocked by. The constant funneling of taxpayer money into a militarized interior
enforcement apparatus, regardless of party, ensures these 'shocking' events remain tragically predictable.
