Summary
Trump signed the Laken Riley Act into law, expanding mandatory detention for undocumented immigrants accused of theft-related crimes and allowing state attorneys general to sue over immigration enforcement.
Despite warnings from civil rights groups and some Democrats about racial profiling and due process violations, the bill received bipartisan support.
Critics like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Cory Booker argue that Democrats who backed it succumbed to conservative fear-mongering, potentially harming immigrants and undermining civil rights.
They also failed to put forward any real new ideas or new candidates. If you read the room even a little, you see that the American people are pissed off and want change. Obama got elected on a platform of radical change. Trump got elected on a platform of radical change. Hillary and Kamala, no radical change in their platform, both lost to the radical change pushing Trump.
Put forward some younger candidates with new ideas and new energy, put forward some populist policies, stop playing on identity politics and expecting that everybody who’s black or female is going to vote for you by default.
Actually do that and you win elections.
