Donald Trump and maga Republicans continue to allow evil ICE to use authoritarian cruelty against American citizens

Regarding “Houston protests over deadly ICE shooting will continue Friday,” (January 9, 2026) An unarmed American citizen, a mother, was shot four times and murdered. Her name is Renee Good.

In her death by an ICE agent, when her van was driving away from the shooter, America was shot in the heart by the cruelty, hate and evil congressional support of an authoritarian Donald Trump, who failed to support and uphold the Constitution and our citizens' right to peacefully protest.

Echo opinion letter published in the Houston Chronicle:
What will our elected representatives do❓

Like Senator Ted Cruz (who was born in Canada) they are more afraid of an elderly man who is obviously unhinged. They are afraid of losing their job where they are paid to pledge unconstitutional loyalty to the leader they fear.

When faced with the evidence of this murder, our Republican leaders try to rationalize it with flat-out lies. Are we going to continue to go along with this lying until someone we love is shot and killed by an untrained, unnecessary member of the "immigration militia❓”

What are we willing to do to preserve our democracy❓ Even people in Poland, Iran and Russia were willing to stand up for their rights.

If we don't wake up, our democracy will be put to death, and it will not rise again. Not for me, you, our children or grandchildren.

I am very afraid that we are like the frog that is being slowly boiled to death in a heated lab beaker. (Let's just call it what it is. The evil Trump administration declared war on innocent U.S. citizens.)
