Following the shooting, this narrative was immediately amplified by Trump and his allies, portraying Good as a threat and ICE as the victims. This behavior reflects a pattern of denial, attack, and reversal of victim and offender, a tactic aimed at undermining truth and fostering a dangerous environment where lies are used to justify abuse.

The Texas Secretary of State’s Office has provided the U.S. Justice Department with the state’s voter roll, containing information on approximately 18.4 million registered voters.
