Summary
Trump signed the Laken Riley Act into law, expanding mandatory detention for undocumented immigrants accused of theft-related crimes and allowing state attorneys general to sue over immigration enforcement.
Despite warnings from civil rights groups and some Democrats about racial profiling and due process violations, the bill received bipartisan support.
Critics like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Cory Booker argue that Democrats who backed it succumbed to conservative fear-mongering, potentially harming immigrants and undermining civil rights.
Yes, it’s their fault for assuming they were entitled to votes while telling the population they’re wrong, the economy is great, we’re going to deport immigrants, support genocide abroad, and fill the cabinet with Republicans like the Cheneys.
Voting against trump was the obvious correct choice, then the dems did everything they possibly could to fix that beyond just outright dropping out.
