Please excuse my weird sense of humor, but I just read an article on
another list that talked about the massive chunk of ice that broke
away from Greenland, and this subject heading popped up. For one
brief moment I thought that somehow the Ice from Greenland had invaded
poor old Mississippi.
But then I saw that it was not ice, but the ICE men.
The ICE Man Cometh
Beware my children
Stay out of sight.
The ICE man cometh,
Both day and night.
His icy fingers
tears families apart,
While humming a tune
Called Cold, Cold Heart.

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.

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

Democrats, though, are resisting calls to come back into session and end

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.
