Congress is debating the possible consequences for ICE and even Noem after Renee Good's killing

[Dulcinea]

WASHINGTON (AP) — The killing of a Minnesota woman by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer is reverberating across Capitol Hill where Democrats, and certain Republicans, are vowing an assertive response as President Donald Trump’s aggressive deportation operations spark protests nationwide.

Lawmakers are demanding a range of actions, from a full investigation into Renee Good’s shooting death and policy changes over law enforcement raids to the defunding of ICE operations and the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, in what is fast becoming an inflection point.

“The situation that took place in Minnesota is a complete and total disgrace,” House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York said as details emerged. “And in the next few days, we will be having conversations about a strong and forceful and appropriate response by House Democrats.”

1. Republicans complained about WACO Branch Davidians and government overreach

Boy, have times changed.

5. Republicans supported heavily armed masked goons invading state capitol buildings and threatening lawmakers

all across the country to protest Covid-19 mask mandates. Republicans supported military sniper rifles being pointed at federal agents by domestic terrorist militia members over a cattle grazing dispute at the Bundy Ranch. Republicans supported the overthrow of an elected government on January 6, 2021.

Republicans always support resistance to "government overreach" when Democrats are in power. When Republicans are in charge, the government cannot overreach far enough to suit them.

2. What's to debate?

It was flat out murder by a bad cop who shouldn't have been on active duty by reason of his PTSD and dereliction of duty by a person of questionable character who has no business running a cabinet department in a country run by a president who was elected under questionable circumstances and now is running the country like a fascist dictatorship.

Oh, sorry, congresscritters, did I speak the truth and offend someone?

4. Really. "And in the next few days we will be having conversations." SMDH.

6. I agree, but he's not a cop.

7. Spineless.

Impeach all of them and convict them.
