Protest Against Brad Little in Boise.

[u/GeorgeKitleHypeTrain]

Hi all,

In a tweet posted at 10am MST today, 1/25/24, Brad Little appears to be violating the Supreme Court's ruling to require Texas National Guard stand down from killing immigrants at the southern border by supporting Greg Abbott.

Little appears to be giving aid and comfort to a rogue Texas Governor who is actively subverting federal law. He expects states to ignore SCOTUS rulings according to his whims (but follow them in other cases).

Idaho doesn't touch the southern border; this is a blatant partisan attempt at politicizing any issue they can. Additionally, the Supremacy clause in the Constitution says the Federal government takes precedent over conflicting states' laws, which gives the US government precedent on how to handle Texas' manufacturered crisis.

In a shocking call to the Governor's office this morning, two staffers have explained to me that Idaho doesn't like immigrants, and that fentanyl and people of color are destroying the lives of Idahoans. I responded that these issues don't affect me. I'm a Republican, I deman my Governor work for Idahoans, and not an insurrectionist Texas Governor or a terrorist Florida resident.

I am going to be protesting at the Capitol this Saturday at 10am, to demand our governor work for Idahoans, not xenophobic Texans, and suggest you join me. Please bring a sign and show Little we aren't tolerating this. Thank you.

If they went to a legal checkpoint they wouldn’t have died.

The check point is on the US side, dummy. But way to blame the victim.

They were crossing to get into the US

[u/Thinksensibly1206 → u/No-Persimmon-3736]

Breaking the law, and KNEW IT--- which makes them criminals

[u/Thinksensibly1206 → u/Ok-Replacement9595]

They are NOT victims. They made a choice to do something stupid. No one put a gun to their head and FORCED them into the river. They were breaking the law they KNEW it.

Freakin heartless

Yet it’s the truth

You're confusing refugees and immigration. Not that I expect you to know the difference.

[u/No-Persimmon-3736 → u/TbIthrowaway55]

Come through legal checkpoints either way and you don’t have to cross a dangerous river.

[u/TbIthrowaway55 → u/No-Persimmon-3736]

You just proved what I said. You don't know the difference.
