Texas Republican proposes public executions of undocumented immigrants - Lemmy.World

Summary Texas Republican Valentina Gomez sparked outrage after releasing a video proposing public executions of undocumented immigrants who commit violent crimes, claiming it would act as a deterrent. The video, shared on X, simulated Gomez shooting a hooded dummy representing an undocumented migrant. Her comments followed the arrest of a Guatemalan immigrant for a subway murder in New York. Known for far-right provocations, Gomez’s remarks drew sharp criticism from political figures and activists, with some praising her stance while others condemned it as hateful and extreme. Legislative support for her proposal is highly unlikely.
