14. You are right about ICE activity in Houston, but....

But is recent ICE activity in Houston Texas a result of Renee Good's death? I googled and there were anti ICE demonstrations in Houston in past week on this issue; as well 50 immigrants were arrested recently there by ICE.
I admit I was a bit too harsh on large cities in red states. Yes Houston Texas votes democratic, about 55% for Hillary, Biden, and Kamala, to ~45 republican, at least for president. Dallas the same. That's a supreme court majority, 5 - 4.
Almost all our big cities (if not all) vote democratic, that's the urban advantage democrats hold.
My dig was really at red states, not really cities within. Nonetheless, a red state city is part of a red state's voting bloc.
