The Sunday morning shows sure were a doozy today.
On Meet the Press, host Kristen Welker tried to press Border Czar Tom Homan over the Trump administration’s blunt language following the Minneapolis ICE shooting, but he ended up schooling her as to why Renee Good’s actions can be described as domestic terrorism under the law.
Welker opened by suggesting that comments from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and President Donald Trump had tainted the investigation. Noem had called the incident an “act of domestic terrorism,” while Trump said Renee Good “violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE officer.”
Weird how she apparently doesn’t have a problem with Democrats calling the ICE agent a murderer. Nevertheless, Welker asked how the public could trust the process when, in her words, judgment had already been passed.
Homan responded by grounding the discussion in what actually happened and why ICE was operating in Minneapolis in the first place. “Look, we’ve all seen the video,” he said, stressing that investigators would still do their jobs. He then pivoted to the larger context that media figures choose to ignore. “Why are you even there?” Homan asked. “Why are we in Minneapolis? Because it’s a sanctuary city, a sanctuary state.”
Homan explained that ICE was conducting targeted enforcement operations aimed at dangerous criminals, pointing to arrests involving child rape and child sodomy. “It’s not okay to impede and interfere with an officer,” he said, drawing comparisons to blocking U.S. Marshals or the FBI. “These are targeted enforcement operations. They’re arresting bad people. And it’s illegal. Let’s remember what she did was a crime.”
Hey Mr. Albero,
Why am I seeing a Salisbury city fire department car in Easton every single day?
I already informed you where to redirect your question 9:43. Joe Albero doesn’t have the answer for you, nor does he need to.
Just shaking my head 🙄
