Saturday Morning Covfefe: 5 Things with Olivia
Before anything else, I need to acknowledge the grief that fell over D.C. this week: a National Guard member killed, another fighting for his life. A moment that should have been unthinkable, yet feels tragically at home in the climate we’re in. A reminder that nothing about this moment is theoretical. It touches real lives.
Here are five things you shouldn’t miss, and why they matter.
1. ICE Wants a Police State. Big-City Chiefs Aren’t Taking the Bait.
Texas politicians may be out here saluting ICE like it’s the state religion, but big-city police chiefs are having a very different conversation:
"Do we partner with ICE… or maintain trust with the communities we actually police?"
Dallas Police Chief Daniel Comeaux took one look at ICE’s sales pitch: $25 million in ‘reimbursements’ (translation: strings), federal oversight, slower response times, and an instant collapse in community trust, and responded with the professional equivalent of: lol, absolutely not. His logic was painfully simple: Pulling cops off violent crime to help ICE hit its numbers does not make Dallas safer.
