In the Wake of Fatal ICE Shootings, Democrats Drag Their Feet
Democrats in Congress have shown less urgency in responding to ICE's fatal shootings of two immigrant men in Maine and Texas compared to their swift action after similar incidents involving two white U.S. citizens earlier in the year. Progressives criticize their colleagues for normalizing the deaths and failing to advance legislation to restrict or abolish ICE despite public protests.
