Letter: LTE response

Saturday 1/17/26 LTE’s “Submit your application” and “ICE/immigration”. The “Submit” letter cynically portrays George Floyd and Renee Good and ends “And Yes folks, this is satire.” No, it is not, it is mocking the death of these people and mean-spirited. ICE letter implies Renee Good deserved to be killed because of her “agitator training.” Both LTEs demonstrate ways of thinking to justify ICE viciousness. First, dehumanize others who are different. Human beings become labels. Renee Good is not a young mother of three children she is an “aggressor,” or an “agitator” and therefore should be killed. Second, believe what you are told rather than trust your own eyes and judgment. In multiple videos of Renee Good she is not chanting or trying to run over the ICE agent. ICE rendered no aid and denied physician’s care because ICE dehumanized her and every “other” as they have been told to do by Steven Miller.
