Hispanic Caucus warns Minneapolis: Trump aide Homan lied about ICE drawdowns before

10h


WASHINGTON — Border czar Tom Homan’s goodwill tour continues, but members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus aren’t buying it. In Minneapolis on Thursday, Homan — who as an aide to President Donald Trump has vowed to “run the biggest deportation force this country has ever seen” — announced the end of the immigration crackdown that has upended the city and roiled the nation.

On Capitol Hill, Homan’s claim that ICE is pulling out, after federal agents killed two protesters in three weeks, was met with suspicion from leading members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

“They're going to draw down in Minnesota and go somewhere else where they're not going to get as much [pushback],” Rep. Juan Vargas (D-CA) told Raw Story. “They got particularly beat up [in Minneapolis] because the people that they shot and killed were very sympathetic. And I think they're going to go to some other place where people might not look so sympathetic.”

U.S. citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti, both 37, were shot dead by federal agents in Minneapolis. Their deaths triggered outrage, repulsion and protest in ways that agents’ alleged abuse of migrants has not. While the shooting deaths of two white protesters inspired a protest song written and released by Bruce Springsteen, Hispanic Caucus members point to comparatively muted protests over 32 deaths of migrants held in ICE custody last year as evidence of a double standard even for sympathetic voices on the left.

I would disagree that there was no outrage "on the left". The LEFT are the ONLY ones outside of every ICE facility in the nation every single day, disrupting the activities going on there and suing for redress. But this time, the "outrage" actually came from the RIGHT (and their RW-owned M$M) for change, which is what needed to happen in order to get some kind of change instituted since they are "running the show" in the government and the corporate world.

Once they 'can' the mid terms and use whatever excuse they dredge up to declare martial law, those positions will be integral in silencing dissent as well as taking control in majorly blue areas, like Minnesota.

However, they are indeed full of it when they declare that they are drawing down anything, other than the press corps that they use to make their ICE propaganda videos to incite their goons to commit greater atrocities. Removing half of Meal Team Six still leaves thousands here to keep up the 'brownshirt' scenario.

They are here, and they are not leaving until they are expelled.

Mark my words.
