Michelle Wu’s duplicitous stunt demanding Freedom of Data responses from ICE is simply the newest laughable Democratic tactic to stoke opposition to President Donald Trump’s deportation roundup.
Wu signed an govt order requesting ICE launch data on all its immigration arrests despite the fact that her personal administration routinely ignores or objects to such public data requests.
“My recommendation to Tom Homan and ICE is to take a outing,” Wu mentioned, pointedly talking to the feds as in the event that they had been five-year-olds.
The maneuver to ship FOIA requests was designed strictly to place her politically as Trump’s public enemy primary and preserve the highlight on the “secret police techniques” of ICE.
It’s a federal regulation they’re implementing. What proper does the Boston mayor need to demand details about federal brokers?
But Wu clearly is reveling in her standing as nationwide spokesperson for Democrats protesting the immigration arrests. It’s particularly useful for her in an election 12 months. Josh Kraft can’t compete with Wu on immigration and actually has mainly the identical place as her.
The query is: Is it a profitable technique for Democrats nationally?
After attempting to tie Trump up with lawsuits, Democrats are actually fueling the notion of nationwide outrage towards ICE by supporting rioting protesters in cities like Los Angeles.
Their ridiculous declare that the protests are peaceable wants a actuality examine. Looting, cops being attacked and automobiles set on fireplace shouldn’t be peaceable.
Our completely political Lawyer Normal Andrea Campbell is now getting within the act, submitting lawsuits, placing out statements slamming Trump and usually attempting to out-Wu the mayor. Campbell makes Maura Healey’s tenure as AG appear tepid by comparability.
“The president’s choice to federalize and deploy California’s Nationwide Guard with out the consent of California state leaders is illegal, unconstitutional and undemocratic,” Campbell mentioned.
After which there’s California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who’s utilizing the ICE protests as a approach to place himself for a run on the White Home.
The following step for Democrats?
Clearly impeachment.
Democrats in Congress are already throwing every part they’ll at Trump and speaking about impeaching him over his immigration insurance policies and it’s solely a matter of time earlier than they fight – perhaps after the midterm elections when Democrats hope to take management of the Home.
You’d assume after the failed makes an attempt at getting an impeachment conviction final time, lawmakers would steer clear of the technique once more.
