Massive ICE raids in Mississippi


Aug 8

Public post







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? 

If you guessed

 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.

Denver city council’s only democratic socialist, less than a month after she 
was sworn in. If you’re reading this email at night, you’ll just have to wait,
