An ICE agent killed Renee Good in Minneapolis. Meanwhile, Congress is debating whether to shovel *more* billions into ICE. Are we serious right now?

WTF Just Happened
Okay, so listen up because this is absolutely wild: an ICE agent just shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis! Like, a federal immigration officer, with a gun, in a U.S. city, killed someone. And what is Congress doing as this unfolds? Oh, nothing much, just *debating* whether to hand over even MORE billions to the Department of Homeland Security, which includes ICE. Are we collectively losing our minds?
Seriously, what did I just read? Is this real life? How is this happening right now?!
Wait, HOW Did This Happen?
So, an ICE agent, operating within President Donald Trump’s mass deportation operation, pulled the trigger and killed Renee Good. The Trump administration is, of course, spinning it as “self-defense,” even though there’s mounting video evidence that might just scream otherwise. And the timing? Congressional Republicans are literally trying to push a homeland security spending bill through the House, deciding if the agency that’s deployed thousands of armed agents should get *more* funding. You cannot make this up!
Who approved this situation? Who thought bringing a funding bill to the floor right after an incident like this was a good idea? It feels less like governance and more like a fever dream, honestly.
Are We Serious Right Now?
We're talking about a federal agency that just killed a person, and the *big* debate is about increasing their budget?! This isn't a bad comedy script, this is our actual reality right now!
- An ICE agent kills a citizen, and top Democratic leaders, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, seem hesitant to use the government funding deadline as leverage. Are they even on our side?!
- The administration is pushing a “self-defense” narrative that appears to contradict video evidence. Seriously, how do they even *try* to get away with that?!
- ICE’s budget is set to balloon to $170 BILLION – making it one of the largest paramilitary forces in the United States – with “zero accountability” as they “shoot US citizens in the head”?!
Okay no, but actually HOW do we let this happen? This is beyond unbelievable.
💡 Why This Is a Big Deal (Unfortunately)
This isn't just another news story; this is a gigantic, flashing, neon sign screaming about the terrifying expansion of a federal agency that some are calling a “rogue force.” When an armed agent kills someone, and the political response is to potentially *increase* their budget, it sends a chilling message. What kind of precedent does this set for accountability?
This means more violence, more unchecked power, and more unaccountable actions by federal agents operating in our communities. If Democrats refuse to fight back with the leverage they have—especially with public disapproval of ICE at an all-time high—it means this “bipartisan project” of militarized enforcement will just keep spiraling. This could lead to an even more widespread disregard for civil liberties and basic human safety, all funded by *our* tax dollars! It's an absolute nightmare scenario.
So… What Happens Now?
So, what's next in this bizarre carnival? Progressive lawmakers like Reps. Pramila Jayapal and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are practically screaming for funding cuts, even if it means another government shutdown. They're saying statements and letters are NOT enough!
But the top Democratic leaders? Schumer and Jeffries are talking about finding “accountability mechanisms at the appropriate time,” which, apparently, is *not* when a government funding deadline is staring them in the face on January 30th! People are literally calling for Schumer’s ouster for refusing to use this critical leverage.
Will Democrats actually grow a spine and demand accountability, preventing ICE’s budget from exploding to $170 billion? Or will they let this “paramilitary force” continue operating with
