Uhhh this isn’t even close to being accurate as the Republicans have clearly been just as damming of how ICE has handled things as Democrats in these hearings. The increase of ICE has a direct response to state and local governments not cooperating with immigration laws. Minnesota’s draw down coincided with the state and local governments working with immigration authorities to deport people who have orders to be deported.

Any loss of life is terrible no matter what but if Minnesota cooperated people would be alive and even more wouldn’t have gotten injured. Democrats have been huge in paving the way for the Federal Government to force itself on states and local governments. This is the result of making those policy choices.

Congressional Republicans clearly pushed back on the Admin across the government for funding cuts. It’s grossly inaccurate to say they didn’t because look how how much more funding ALL these departments got.

My take is a take of someone who actually is on the ground actually working for Congress.
