Jayapal Shocked by Conditions Trump Created... Under Biden's Watch
The Hill reports that Congresswoman Jayapal expressed outrage over a new document detailing the prolonged detention of U.S. citizens by ICE. While Jayapal points fingers at Trump-era policies, she conveniently overlooks that this same system has continued operating and even expanded under the Biden administration—which she supports. The infrastructure for these 'shocking' conditions wasn't
dismantled on January 21, 2021; it was merely rebranded. Instead of addressing the fundamental brutality, we get another 'report' highlighting a problem Democrats are content to inherit and manage. It's truly astonishing what's 'shocking' to those in power when it's politically convenient. Perhaps the next report can detail how many elected officials have called these very obvious outrages
'shocking' for years without enacting meaningful change. One might wonder if the real shock is simply the public finding out.
