Looking at this a bit more closely, this guy won PRECISELY BECAUSE he raised the "salience" of immigration via attacking ICE raids, and this won by a sizable margin in one of the most important swing counties of all, Bucks County in Pennsylvania.

As @tusk81.bsky.social wrote, "During the past several weeks alone, we’ve seen mass deportation agents operate with an accelerated ruthlessness and impunity"

And that was before ICE showed up at a daycare w/o a warrant.

When Trump said they "haven’t gone far enough," this is exactly what he meant.

After months of Trump's cruel and chaotic Administration, the tide is turning. Voters realize his policies make us weaker, poorer, and less safe. One example tonight from a bellwether in VA:

Ronald Brownstein on X: "When I asked high-ranking Harris officials when they knew the 24 election was lost, some pointed to her lackluster showing in Loudoun County VA-where she dipped to 56%, down from Biden's 61.5%. McAuliffe in 21 drew 55%. W/95% of vote in, Spanberger is at 64.4% per @DecisionDeskHQ" / X

This past weekend, communities gathered for Day of the Dead vigils to remember the growing number of immigrants who’ve lost their lives in federal custody. Families, clergy, and neighbors came together to say their names, light candles, and honor their memories.

Even Trump’s administration now concedes the truth: America’s farms run on immigrant labor.

In an unusual federal filing, his DOL acknowledged that w/o undocumented workers, the U.S. faces a “current and imminent labor shortage” that risks food shortages and higher prices.

Today, the official DHS account trolls him by using one of his songs (without permission, one strongly presumes) over the kind of cinematic footage Trump loves, of masked federal agents clashing with Americans.

In a genuine WOW moment, this administration publicly acknowledges (perhaps for the first time) that an ICE officer violated procedure and will be taken off duty and subject to an investigation. This is a step in the right direction — I just wish it wasn't only because of such an awful viral video.

We must condemn Charlie Kirk's murder, that goes without question. But we can't dismiss that much of the hatred coming from the right is targeted at migrants and sadly has a death toll. We also must not dismiss the political violence happening in American communities everyday.
