If a gang had a legally taken control of an apartment building why would they need a bill in Congress to fix that? Couldn’t law enforcement fix that?
I understand wanting to intervene but I agree, this seems like an overreach. A more reasonable federal approach would be to have these folks investigated for violations of federal law, which I doubt the FBI is interested in doing in this case.
I wouldn’t even say overreach, this is just a political stunt from the looks of it.
Of course. But their target audience will not consider that for a moment.
What are they doing in that apartment complex? If they are selling drugs or trafficking people, that’s already against the law and doesn’t need a new bill. If they are trying some complex plan to overthrow the county and make it a Venezuelan enclave, then well, maybe something needs to be done other than enforcing existing laws. Otherwise, it’s just a bunch of people from the same community living together.
