GA Dems want ICE unmasked; a small GA town rejects ICE facility & a liberal applicant ‘hired’ by ICE says “that was too easy”

GA Senator Kim Jackson (D-Stone Mountain)

PLUS: Trump on Greenland, new racist/classist immigration policy, & Brian Kemp’s “bold plan” that isn’t

Yesterday, ⁠Georgia Senate Democrats rolled out legislation aimed at restraining ICE operations⁠, so Ron had a conversation with Democratic whip, State Senator Kim Jackson on accountability, fear in immigrant communities, and the moral stakes of enforcement tactics.

Ron also speaks with Eric Taylor, city manager of Social Circle, about ⁠why his small town says it simply cannot support a massive ICE detention facility⁠.

Oh, and there’s ⁠new racist/classist Trump visa processing ban⁠, bu t honestly, “what took ’em so long?” is my first response. Like, who’s not surprised this wasn’t a “day one” thing for these white nationalists?

⁠Mango Madman really wants Greenland, too⁠, and now Denmark’s military is ramping up “exercises” on the territory. Great. We’re going to war with Danish people.

The episode expands to ⁠Governor Brian Kemp’s “big reveal,” ⁠which was – ho hum – more interstate lanes and not even a ⁠public-private rail concept like Air Canada and the Ontario government⁠ as working on. Sad.

On to Savannah, where a local gun storage ordinance is being ⁠overridden by state lawmakers⁠, and goes into a deep dive of newly released ⁠grand jury testimony revealing what top Georgia Republicans privately said about Trump’s 2020 election claims⁠.

Oh, and back to ICE … it’s bad enough ⁠ICE is using Nazi and white nationalist symbolism⁠ to lure in that mindset, but get this: a liberal blogger with an easy-to-Google disdain for ICE ⁠applied to work for ICE without a background check⁠ and was offered a job by ICE. That’s how thorough the vetting is for these masked goons getting $50,000 sign-on (taxpayer-funded) sign-on bonuses who wander the streets to rough up protestors and hunt down immigrants.
