AOC Calls for Action After Minnesota Shooting: “Draw a Line in the Sand Now”
Following the recent fatal shooting by immigration officers in Minneapolis, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez emphasized the gravity of the situation, calling it a pivotal moment for the United States. She warned about the administration’s actions and potential invocation of the Insurrection Act, citing the administration’s justification for violence against American citizens. Ocasio-Cortez urged action to contain this chaos, particularly urging the Senate to block funding for DHS agencies, which could lead to a government shutdown. Furthermore, Trump’s response, blaming local officials and possibly hinting at using the Insurrection Act, raises concerns about deploying the military.
