It's hard to talk about the US these days as polarized as it is.
as one area really, to be honest with you.
And I think when you look at these two shootings that happened in Maine and in Texas,
within six days of each other, you have to talk about the human outrage, but also the political situations in both states, in both states ahead of these midterm elections in November.
There are neck and neck races in Texas for the Senate seat, James Salarico against Ken Paxton.
And so there is, of course, a huge reaction to what is happening here.
And in in Maine, you know, I spoke to you recently about Graham Plattner withdrawing from the race.
Susan Collins is a Republican looking to be re-elected and you know she's a Republican so you know she toes the line very much but she's seeing how unpopular this is I mean this was a shooting that occurred in a low crime state at 7am on a Monday morning and so quite understandably there is complete outrage and I have to say here that of those two men that I've spoken about that have been fatally shot neither one were the intended target of the ICE agent so there is understandable outrage by this and Susan Collins is
calling for a further investigation.
But yeah, it's interesting to see the impact that this has on states that have very contentious Senate races coming this November.
Again, I go back to the politics care.
You know, they're making it very clear that this is not a change in policy.
It's a temporary pause.
And so it'll be really interesting to see what happens in the coming weeks.
I think I think, to be honest with you, I don't want to sound too cold to this or or to dehumanize people.
I think the Trump administration are viewing this in terms of the politics rather than anything else.
They had a lot of backlash.
You know, we saw the killings in January of Alex Pretty and Renee Good and in Minneapolis and things kind of.
quietened down after that quite a little bit.
But the Trump administration were under a lot of pressure from their supporters who backed these ICE policies.
