Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has made a scathing attack on President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, accusing them of orchestrating a violent and oppressive mission against the Minneapolis community. The remark was made during his appearance on "Good Morning America" Monday, where he also discussed his new memoir.
Shapiro believes that it's high time to terminate this mission led by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which has been directed by Trump, Vance, and Noem to wreak havoc on the community. He pointed out that these actions are creating an unsafe environment and perpetuating racism.
The Governor emphasized that Good and Pretti were not a threat to law enforcement but rather innocent victims of unjustified violence. Shapiro highlighted his experience as Pennsylvania's former attorney general and is familiar with proper police procedures. According to him, the practices employed by ICE agents, including masking and racial profiling, are far from acceptable policing tactics.
In response to the recent killings, a group of Democratic senators have vowed to vote against the spending plan that includes funding for the Department of Homeland Security and ICE. Shapiro expressed support for a proposal led by Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nevada), which would pass five bills in the package but withhold funds for Homeland Security until an agreement can be reached.
By withholding these funds, Shapiro believes that he is making a crucial point: giving the president a blank check to undermine people's constitutional rights in cities. He emphasized that it's essential to hold those in power accountable and ensure that they respect the rights of all individuals, regardless of their background or circumstances.

. It's like these policies are being implemented without any thought for the people who live there. I mean, can't we just try to understand each other a bit more? Shapiro's comments made me think that maybe we need some middle ground here... like finding ways to address security concerns while also protecting everyone's rights 
. It's not an easy problem, but I think if we all sat down and talked it through, we might be able to find a solution that works for everyone 
.
i feel like he's saying exactly wut needs 2 be said - these ppl r not a threat, they're just innocent victims bc of racist policies 
ICE & CBP r basically doing a lot of harm n it's high time we take action 
shapiro's got experience as a lawyer n knows what's rite w/ the law 
he's not just bashing trump & co, he's advocating 4 accountability n protecting ppl's rights 
. As a Pennsylvanian, I'm proud of our governor for speaking truth to power 
. It's about time someone held them accountable for the racist practices they're using 
. If I were Senator Cortez Masto's side I'd totally be down with withholding funds from DHS 
. We gotta protect people's rights and not let politicians get away with undermining our constitution

I'm not surprised by this move from Shapiro, given his track record as a progressive leader in PA... His words on CBP & ICE have been echoing my thoughts for a while now 
oh man this situation with ICE is just so heartbreaking I can feel how frustrated Josh Shapiro must be seeing these innocent people being hurt by policies that are supposed to protect them it's like, we're talking about America, land of the free and home of the brave but what's happening is basically us letting our politicians play some kinda twisted game where they get to decide who lives and dies 
his experience as a former attorney general must give him some real insight into how these agencies operate
It feels like a Band-Aid solution to me. And what about all the people who need help and can't navigate the system? 
. I've seen some crazy stuff online, but this takes the cake.
. He knows what it takes to keep a community safe, and it's not about targeting specific groups, but about treating everyone with respect 
.
. This is what it's all about – making a difference and fighting for what's right 
. We need to hold those in power accountable and make sure they respect everyone's rights, regardless of who they are or where they come from 
. It's not about being divisive, it's about standing up for what's right 
i'm loving that senator catherine cortez masto is pushing for change, maybe we'll finally see some progress on these issues 
It's like they're being targeted for no reason at all. The idea that a group of people could be mistreating and killing others just because of who they are is so unfair 
. And what really gets me is that it's all happening under the guise of 'keeping us safe'. Like, no thanks, I'd rather trust my local cops to do their job than some agents with a hidden agenda 
. We can't let our rights just get swept under the rug because some politicians are too afraid to speak out. Not on my watch
