MAGA Jumps to Blame Deadly ICE Shooting on 'Radical Left' [View all]

MAGA Republicans have jumped to blame Democrats for a fatal shooting at a Texas immigration facility that killed two people and injured another.

Federal authorities say detainees were among the victims and no federal agents had been shot.

However, even before the circumstances of the shooting were known, Vice President JD Vance posted on X that “the obsessive attack on law enforcement, particularly ICE, must stop.”

Right-wing provocateur Laura Loomer also chimed in, declaring that “it’s pretty obvious a memo has gone out to the radical left. They will be killing their targets from roof tops.”

Thanks for that. We still need better gun laws. I wasn't implying she had anything to do with the shooting. OLDMDDEM Sep 24 #12
