This week, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) compared ICE’s Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis — a federal effort that has caught hundreds of violent criminals — to slave patrols in the 18th-century South.
Crockett also criticized the Supreme Court.
“This looks like modern-day slavery patrols, and they have been sanctioned by this Supreme Court,” Crockett says in the clip. “Whoever thought we would live in a country where progress looks like having a Supreme Court that says it’s okay to shoot somebody or to listen to their accent and give permission to grab them.”
Crockett was participating in a panel called “Kidnapped and Disappeared: Trump’s deadly assault on Minnesota”.
