Grassley supports and defends Trump, not the Constitution of the U.S. Grassley represents Trump's interests, not his state's. Grassley has rendered himself merely decoration, to help present the veneer of a republic.

I'm confused? Iowa is heavily Republican, voted for Trump twice. But they actually seem to care about the fate of an immigrant? Trump's appeal is largely hatred of immigrants, isn't it?

The Environment @the-environment.bsky.social

I don’t think they care about the immigrants, but for years they have been led to believe that the Supreme Court is with them, and when trump ignores the Supreme Court it’s creating an uncomfortable juxtaposition for them, hence them complaining he is ignoring a judges order

Iowa was a purple state relatively recently. It voted for Obama twice. I can't say why it shifted right, but I don't think people collectively decided they didn't care about their immigrant neighbors anymore. I hope to see more of them pushing back as they realize and accept that they were conned.
