Rep. Hurd,
Democratic cities and states are being overwhelmed by an authoritarian force bent on retribution and political gain. Republicans need to find compassion and strength to stand up against the clear abuse our country is experiencing.
ICE agents and their tactics are a joke. They dress in ragtag clothing – some in jeans, sweatshirts and beanie caps. They inappropriately wear “Police” on their vests. They frequently use undue force, hurting innocent bystanders and now killing two citizens.
President Obama deported over 3 million people in his two terms, and we did not witness this outrageous violence. There are far more undocumented immigrants in Texas and Florida than in Minnesota, yet Minnesota is where ICE is focusing their efforts. It’s an obvious political stunt.
To draw attention away from Trump’s domestic issues, which include the unreleased Epstein files, Trump invades Venezuela, sends an armada to the seas outside Iran, and feigns a takeover of Greenland.
Trump and his administration are ruthless, incompetent, and dangerous for the future of our democracy. History will judge harshly those in power who could have done something but stood back and did nothing. I urge you to pull a coalition of Republicans together to normalize this administration that has run off the tracks and away from compassionate, just and appropriate governing.
