"A country can enforce its laws, we've learned this, and still insist on the Rule of Law," MS NOW host Mika Brzezinski says The post ‘Morning Joe’ Condemns Trump Admin’s Latest ICE Shooting: ‘No Good Justifiable Explanation’ appeared first on TheWrap .
The hosts of “Morning Joe” on MS NOW expressed outrage over the Trump administration's approach to immigration, particularly following the latest ICE shooting. Mika Brzezinski questioned, "When will the ICE shootings stop, given that there was one just days ago?" She highlighted the Sunday shooting of Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez, a Venezuelan man, in Austin, Texas.
The Department of Homeland Security stated that he was in the U.S. illegally at the time, a claim his lawyer contested. Brzezinski emphasized the trauma caused to both individuals and communities, urging viewers to focus on the victims rather than the government's actions. She criticized the administration for blaming the victims and for false claims made by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and a Border Patrol head.
The hosts noted a disturbing pattern of ICE shootings this year, characterized by lethal force, conflicting accounts, and devastated families. Co-host Willie Geist further criticized the actions of untrained ICE agents, emphasizing that running people off the road and shooting them in the back is unjustifiable. Geist called for a commitment to the Rule of Law and the highest standards when law enforcement agents use their weapons.
