Vulnerable Dems Throw Their Lot In With The ‘Abolish Immigration Law’ Crowd

Perhaps the defund ICE message is playing well in solidly blue districts, but competitive district politics is a different animal.

It was probably no surprise that Rep. Ilhan Omar, arguably the most corrupt of Minneapolis’ Somali community, announced the Congressional Progressive Caucus has “adopted an official position” to defund Immigration & Customs Enforcement. 

“Our caucus members will oppose all funding for immigration enforcement in any immigration enforcement bills until meaningful reforms are enacted to end militarized policing practices,” said the woman accused of marrying her brother to evade U.S. immigration laws. Omar’s message was praised by radical groups everywhere, many tied to the left’s “defund the police” movement amid 2020’s Black Lives Matter riots.

Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., introduced a bill on Wednesday that would — without adult supervision in Congress — gut the $75 billion funding increase ICE received in President Donald Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill and dump the money into propping up the Obamacare subsidy scam, the Associated Press reported. Curiously, Moulton, now looking to dethrone old leftist Ed Markey in Massachusetts’ Senate primary, blamed out-of-touch Democrats for the party’s sweeping losses in 2024. 

Much of the vitriol has ramped up in the days following a federal law enforcement agent’s fatal shooting of anti- ICE activist and accused domestic terrorist Renee Good. The agent suffered internal bleeding in the torso after the Minneapolis woman accelerated and struck the officer with her vehicle, the Department of Homeland Security told The Federalist on Wednesday. The agent shot Good, who died at the scene. 

Perhaps the defund ICE message is playing well in solidly blue districts, but competitive district politics is a different animal. 

California Rep. Dave Min and other “vulnerable Democrats” in competitive races this year seem to be betting that voters will rally around their anti-ICE rhetoric. 

‘A Leverage Point to Exploit’

Min, like other Democrats in closer races, backs impeaching Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and has called the work of enforcing immigration laws “illegal” and “unconstitutional”. He’s got the backing of Omar and her Squad pals at the Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC. 

Min ridiculously claimed that “there is not a single place in America, including California, that does not comply with federal immigration law, that hampers federal immigration enforcement …” The claim is patently false. And Min has called a House committee investigation into Minnesota’s massive fraud scandal “partisan and racist.” --->READ MORE HERE

Anti-ICE Activists’ Goal Isn’t Stopping Violence — It’s Ending All Immigration Enforcement:

You may not like it, but ICE enforcement is democracy in action.

A simple, but deeply unfair and manipulative, narrative about ICE’s enforcement of immigration law congealed as soon as Trump took office: ICE enforcement amounts to egregious military-style raids in otherwise peaceful communities, and as such, ICE is responsible for any unfortunate violence that accompanies their enforcement activities.

Obviously, that narrative has gone into overdrive since the unfortunate killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis last week. Facts don’t really matter here; anti-ICE hysterics are impervious to the fact that Good and her partner were specifically engaged in illegal activity. One can argue law enforcement should have behaved differently, but you cannot say Renee Good was an innocent bystander — she put herself in harm’s way. You can’t impede federal officers enforcing the law, let alone suddenly lurch toward them in a two-ton vehicle.

However, arguing about who should have done what in this scenario to avoid her killing is almost beside the point. That’s because the goal of anti-ICE activists is not to reduce violence. There’s a simple way to immediately reduce the threat of violence surrounding ICE enforcement — have local law enforcement cooperate with ICE. Take it from a longtime DOJ prosecutor:

DHS publicly announced that if state officials would cooperate, and assist them in focusing their efforts on criminal offenders — most of whom violate state law and are in state prisons/jails — then DHS would not be arresting many of those it is now arresting.

DHS told the states that if they were forced to go into communities and neighborhoods to “hunt” for the individuals they were targeting, any illegal alien encountered while doing so would be subjected to the appropriate legal process re removal.

30+ years ago when I first began as a federal prosecutor, the Border Patrol would pick-up 20 illegal aliens just released from state prison. The prison officials would turn them over to the BP at the gates of the prison, they would go into federal custody, and they would be put through the deportation process. No release back into the community.

Blue states and cities refuse to do this now. They refuse to notify ICE of pending releases of state/local prisoners who are illegal alien criminals.

They force DHS into the choice of doing nothing or doing what they are doing now.

So who is at fault?

And here’s a former FBI agent and cop saying the same thing:

Exactly. 30+ years ago when I was a police officer in Northern Virginia with a heavily Central American population, we routinely arrested illegal aliens for DUI, assault, domestic assault and other sometimes serious crimes.

At booking, we notified INS, and a van showed up at the jail the next morning to take them into custody. End of story. No protests from deranged boomers more interested in protecting illegal alien criminals than their own community.

Today, that same police department refuses to cooperate with ICE on even serious felons taken into custody. It’s insane.

Notably, we’re not really seeing many ugly situations like what happened in Minneapolis in red states because the police and authorities there have been directed to cooperate. So Democrats have a simple choice before them: They can choose to direct local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE, or they can choose to make their own communities more dangerous. --->READ MORE HERE
