So shortly before Trump had a rally in Michigan there was a murder done by an immigrant who has been here since he was a child. A “dreamer”. He got in trouble a few times and was ordered deported. Latino on Latina crime. In a realtionship. The victim’s name was Ruby Garcia.

He politicized this event to demonize immigrants with a backdrop of a bunch of acab-3 frothingfash LAW AND ORDER!

In doing so he claimed he talked to the victim’s family. - He did not.

This also triggered a Republican anti immigrant DC stink tank to attempt to label Kent County where it happened as a “sanctuary city” to amplify political points - It is not.

The perp also ended up taking refuge in a church. The church took him in not knowing about the murder. Just he really fucked up and knows his family wouldn’t take him. Stayed the night. Then called to confess from the church and turn himself in.

meow-popcorn The entire dramatization that the Republican media and establishment aparstus now has a some egg on their face, including trump-anguish.

And now it might discourage immigrants from reporting abuse

    They’ve had egg all over them for decades. They know they’re spreading falsehoods, they don’t care. It’s all a big fucking demented joke, and we’re the punchline.
