"She was heartened by initial moves from the Republican president in his second term that she saw as targeting immigrants who were in the United States illegally and had committed crimes."
What the fuck initial moves are they talking about. They were ignoring due process from the get go and lying prfusely about people being criminals even before this is in a very verifiable way.
They can be "rattled", but if this cross-pressure isn't enough for them to reject the entire Republican Party and any Democrat that still wants ICE around, it doesn't matter. It's far enough from November that the effects of this will have evaporated by the time they cast their votes, so I don't have any confidence that electoral politics will fix this. I'm happy to be proven wrong.
My first thoughts when I read that was the guy is a little slow on the uptake.
