Subject: Massive ICE raids in Mississippi
In the wake of back-to-back massacres in Texas and Ohio, the engine of the
political system is finally rumbling to life, with demands for some type of
legislative action to stem the carnage being too loud to ignore. House
Democrats, though, are resisting calls to come back into session and end recess
early, arguing that they did their part in February by passing sweeping new
background check legislation, and now the responsibility is on Mitch McConnell
and Republicans in the Senate.
Massive ICE raids in Mississippi

In the wake of back-to-back massacres in Texas and Ohio, the engine of the
political system is finally rumbling to life, with demands for some type of
legislative action to stem the carnage being too loud to ignore. House
Democrats, though, are resisting calls to come back into session and end recess
early, arguing that they did their part in February by passing sweeping new
background check legislation, and now the responsibility is on Mitch McConnell
and Republicans in the Senate.
What they haven’t mentioned is that the bill they passed includes a vicious
anti-immigrant amendment, which would link the background check system to ICE’s
database, and alert the deportation machine anytime an immigrant whose status
wasn’t up to date interacted with a gun seller. In the wake of an
anti-immigrant massacre, there’s good reason they haven’t highlighted that
section of the law -- but how on earth did it get there in the first place?

Josh Gottheimer and the Problem Solvers Caucus, you guessed right. Gottheimer,
a Democrat from New Jersey, teamed up with Republicans to attach the amendment
to the bill using the so-called “motion to recommit.” The move led to a public
fight between Gottheimer and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The MTR is generally a
parliamentary formality, and in the eight years Republicans ran the House
chamber, not a single one passed. But that’s changed thanks to Gottheimer and
his Problem Solvers Caucus, which has regularly sided with Republicans to
insert poison pills into Democratic legislation just before it passed.

was sworn in. If you’re reading this email at night, you’ll just have to wait,
