Michelle Wu’s duplicitous stunt demanding Freedom of Info responses from ICE is simply the most recent laughable Democratic tactic to stoke opposition to President Donald Trump’s deportation roundup.
Wu signed an govt order requesting ICE launch info on all its immigration arrests despite the fact that her personal administration routinely ignores or objects to such public info requests.
“My advice to Tom Homan and ICE is to take a time out,” Wu stated, pointedly chatting with the feds as in the event that they had been five-year-olds.
The maneuver to ship FOIA requests was designed strictly to place her politically as Trump’s public enemy primary and maintain the highlight on the “secret police tactics” of ICE.
It’s a federal legislation they’re implementing. What proper does the Boston mayor need to demand details about federal brokers?
But Wu clearly is reveling in her standing as nationwide spokesperson for Democrats protesting the immigration arrests. It’s particularly useful for her in an election yr. Josh Kraft can not compete with Wu on immigration and actually has mainly the identical place as her.
The query is: Is it a profitable technique for Democrats nationally?
After making an attempt to tie Trump up with lawsuits, Democrats at the moment are fueling the notion of nationwide outrage towards ICE by supporting rioting protesters in cities like Los Angeles.
Their ridiculous declare that the protests are peaceable wants a actuality examine. Looting, cops being attacked and automobiles set on fireplace shouldn’t be peaceable.
Our completely political Lawyer Common Andrea Campbell is now getting within the act, submitting lawsuits, placing out statements slamming Trump and customarily making an attempt to out-Wu the mayor. Campbell makes Maura Healey’s tenure as AG appear tepid by comparability.
“The president’s decision to federalize and deploy California’s National Guard without the consent of California state leaders is unlawful, unconstitutional and undemocratic,” Campbell stated.
After which there’s California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who’s utilizing the ICE protests as a method to place himself for a run on the White Home.
The subsequent step for Democrats?
Clearly impeachment.
Democrats in Congress are already throwing the whole lot they will at Trump and speaking about impeaching him over his immigration insurance policies and it’s solely a matter of time earlier than they struggle – perhaps after the midterm elections when Democrats hope to take management of the Home.
You’d assume after the failed makes an attempt at getting an impeachment conviction final time, lawmakers would keep away from the technique once more.
