There's some GOP legislators it probably makes quietly uncomfortable to see ICE blatantly murdering people on their watch, they could sleep easier with Insurrection Act
I can’t predict which way this will go but I sort of feel like Trump, Vance, Noem all jumping to conclusions immediately to say the shooting was a justified act of self defense, is a way of making their base believe it from the start - so they don’t form their own opinion. That keeps the other GOP legislators in line. If their base (people who voted for them) support the shooting, what’s the chance they step out of line and challenge their propaganda, even if they know it is wrong?
