“With the killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretty seventeen days after the killing of Renee Good — both shot to death by federal agents in broad daylight on the streets of Minneapolis — it has become overwhelmingly clear that Donald Trump’s mass-deportation regime cannot be sustained without a repressive state machinery that endangers the lives and tramples the rights of legal residents and citizens of the United States, just as critics had been warning. … When defenders of Trump’s immigration policies can’t deny these incidents or spin them into oblivion, they’re reduced to minimizing them, as when MAGA-friendly pundit Wilfred Reilly summed up Thao’s ordeal as, ‘an un-injured man was briefly out in the cold.’ Or they treat such abuses as inevitable — as simply the price of the mass deportations voters supposedly elected Trump to carry out. It’s the can’t make an omelet without breaking eggs argument.” (01/26/26)
