States move to rein in ICE after fatal Minnesota shooting

2. They've gone way too far

and I don’t mean from a moral point of view because they crossed that line long ago. I mean from a political point of of view.

They have had the opportunity previously to claim that anyone opposing ICE is actually opposed to immigration control. (The old “Democrats want open borders” lie.) And after the shooting of Renee Good, they tried to pull the old “Democrats want to defund the police” lie when people were talking about cracking down on ICE’s funding.

But I don’t think those canards are working, because it’s appparent to anyone with eyes that what ICE is doing now looks more like armed gestapo terrorizing and intimidating civilians — including American citizens — rather than anything to do with immigration enforcement.
