'We are prepared': Shapiro on possible ICE surge in Pennsylvania - ABC News

[TexasTowelie]

ABC News’ Martha Raddatz interviews Gov. Josh Shapiro, D-Pa., on “This Week.”

Here are the key takeaways from the interview with Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro:

- Supreme Court tariff ruling* Shapiro was present at the White House when Trump received news of the Supreme Court ruling against his tariff policy, describing Trump's reaction as calling it "a disgrace." Shapiro countered that the real disgrace is the harm to Pennsylvania farmers and consumers.
- Tariff end-round via Section 232: Shapiro expressed serious legal doubts about Trump's attempt to use Section 232 as a workaround, arguing it will create more chaos and higher costs for Americans.
- Iran/Middle East: Shapiro acknowledged Iran as a bad actor but called on Trump to clearly communicate goals and objectives to the American people *before* taking any military action.
- Democratic strategy: Shapiro called for a "national referendum" on Trump's policies, urging record Democratic turnout to flip congressional seats and restore checks on the administration.
- ICE and immigration: Shapiro warned Pennsylvania is "prepared" if ICE conducts unsanctioned raids, and criticized ICE's current operations as unconstitutional — stopping short of calling for abolishing the agency.
