The president should be impeached and convicted, as should everyone responsible for these outrages. ICE should be disbanded. So should the Department of Homeland Security. And the people who have killed should be investigated and brought before judges and juries.
We have to see the logic of the killings as well as the killings themselves. The horror is a truth in itself. But it is also a sign of a political logic, one known from the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century.

The White House called Alex Pretti an “assassin.”
They called Renee Good a “domestic terrorist.”
And their investigations are shutting out local officials.
They tell Americans not to believe ‘their lying eyes.’
But no one can believe a word they say.

But during Trump’s second term, only 10 of the roughly 1,600 people granted pardons had filed such petitions.
