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.

    She not only thinks this, but took the time to plan this out. At no point while thinking about shooting immigrants, or building a dummy to represent an immigrant, or taping its arms and legs, or putting it in a chair, or loading the gun, or setting up a tripod to film it, or pulling the trigger, or loading it to a computer to edit it, or uploading it, did she think maybe this is a bit much.

    Disgusting human trash.
