Arizona’s Democratic U.S. senators and Gov. Katie Hobbs are joining Republicans in backing legislation that would require federal officials to jail immigrants, including asylum seekers and DACA recipients, for non-violent crimes like shoplifting — even before they’ve been proven guilty.
“We must give law enforcement the means to take action to prevent tragedies like what occurred to Laken Riley.”
Then you should be applying this law to everyone regardless of immigration status, because US citizens are far more likely to be a threat to others than people who are undocumented.
God. I fucking hate their performative bullshit by using Laken Riley as a smokescreen.
I don’t get this? if they are documented they should be treated the same as anyone and if undocumented shouldn’t they just hand them over to ice?
