The left rages over 59 white refugees — but defends killers



The left’s radical immigration agenda isn’t just dangerous, it’s hypocritical to the core. Some recent stories show just how radical leftists have become.

Let’s start with a story Blaze News reported this month that should infuriate every law-abiding American. A 42-year-old Venezuelan man — a known hitman tied to the brutal El Chamu gang and accused of four contract killings — was released into the United States after being caught crossing the Arizona border illegally in 2022. That’s right: arrested, deemed inadmissible, then set free.

Leftists' selective outrage reveals a disturbing truth: Their moral compass isn’t guided by justice or suffering. It’s guided by race and politics.

But it gets worse. The Biden administration granted this suspected murderer a work permit because, at the time, the U.S. wasn’t talking to Venezuela about taking back its criminals.

This man walked freely through our communities for nearly three years. He was finally arrested in February 2025 — not thanks to Biden but because President Donald Trump pressured Venezuela to resume accepting deportees. Immigration and Customs Enforcement picked him up in Grapevine, Texas, which happens to be in my backyard.

This is what happens when ideology overrides public safety. And it’s not an isolated case.

An activist judge

In Wisconsin, Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan was just indicted by a federal grand jury for allegedly helping an illegal immigrant evade ICE agents. Dugan reportedly got “visibly angry,” confronted federal agents in her courtroom, and then snuck the man — who was facing battery charges and had been deported once before — out a private exit for the jury.

This man is accused of punching one victim 30 times and attacking a woman who tried to intervene. Both victims were hospitalized. But Dugan, a sitting judge, allegedly aided his escape. That’s not just reckless — it’s criminal.

And yet, as usual, the left rushed to glorify her. Some are actually comparing Judge Dugan to Harriet Tubman. I wish I were joking! Leftist lawyer Jeffrey Mandell and his friends at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel are likening her actions to a modern Underground Railroad — as if protecting a violent illegal alien compares to the rescue of fugitive slaves.

It’s beyond insulting. Harriet Tubman risked her life to free human beings from bondage. Judge Dugan risked the public’s safety to help a man accused of brutal violence. The left’s delusional moral equivalence here reveals exactly how twisted their priorities have become.

Blind eye to genocide

Yet, these priorities don’t apply if you don’t have the left’s approved skin color.

President Trump has made it a priority to deport illegal immigrants who have committed crimes. That’s what this is really about. But instead of recognizing the distinction between lawful immigration and criminal activity, the left screams that Trump wants to “kick out all immigrants” and destroy the American dream.

Then, when the administration offers refugee status to 59 Afrikaners fleeing persecution in South Africa, the same people lose their minds.

These are white farmers and their families — victims of racial violence, land seizures, and targeted killings. The South African government passed a law in 2024 that allows for the confiscation of land without compensation. Political rallies routinely feature chants of “Kill the Boer,” referring to white farmers. A political party leader led one such rally in 2023 — and it wasn’t subtle. The crowd chanted, “Shoot to kill!” with bloodthirsty fervor.

Elon Musk, a South African native, called it open incitement to genocide. He’s right.

You’d think the self-appointed champions of compassion would welcome these families with open arms. But no — they’re furious. MSNBC analyst Richard Stengel dismissed their plight as “apartheid nostalgia.” U.S. Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) called it “global apartheid.” And the Episcopal Church, which has helped resettle more than 100,000 refugees and proudly aids illegal aliens, publicly refused to help these 59 families. It even ended a 40-year partnership with the federal government over it.

Why? Because these refugees are white.

Narrative-driven immigration

In summary, the left welcomed a Venezuelan gang hitman into the country and handed him a work permit. Leftists are defending a judge who allegedly helped a violent offender escape ICE. They have no problem with 10 million illegal immigrants who flooded the country under President Biden. But when it comes to 59 South African farmers fleeing actual persecution?

They call it racism. They shut down programs. They rage on television.

This isn’t compassion. It’s a radical ideological agenda that says borders should be open to criminals — as long as they fit the narrative — and closed to those who don’t.

It would be laughable if it weren’t so morally bankrupt.

Leftists' selective outrage reveals a disturbing truth: Their moral compass isn’t guided by justice or suffering. It’s guided by race and politics. Some victims are celebrated. Others are ignored, depending entirely on their skin color and the usefulness of their story.

America is at a crossroads. We can continue this reckless, backward approach — or we can choose sanity, security, and fairness. President Trump is trying to restore order, but the radical left is fighting him every step of the way. And if this latest circus has shown us anything, it’s that leftists are just getting started.

Media Falls Over Itself To Defend South African President Who Claimed Genocidal Chants Were Free Speech

Despite the media's best attempt to cover, South Africa's president excused the genocidal chants as free speech.

'Kill the Boer' song just a 'liberation chant' — not a call for violence, according to South African president



The South African president rejected President Donald Trump's assertion that the South African communist leader who leads chants about killing white farmers should be arrested.

President Cyril Ramaphosa met with President Trump last week in the White House, where he firmly denied the existence of a genocide or even targeted killings of white South African farmers known as the Boers.

'It's not meant to be a message that elicits or calls upon anyone to go and be killed.'

During their meeting, Trump suggested to Ramaphosa that the South African government should arrest Julius Malema, a political leader who has led chants of "shoot the Boer" and "shoot to kill" to a stadium full of supporters.

Upon returning to South Africa, Ramaphosa spoke to reporters about the idea of arrests and asserted that his country is a sovereign nation with its own laws and processes. He also excused the racist chants as freedom of expression.

"We take into account what the constitutional court also decided when it said that, you know, that slogan, 'kill the Boer, kill the farmer,' is a liberation chant and slogan."

"It's not meant to be a message that elicits or calls upon anyone to go and be killed," the president claimed. "And that is what our court decided. ... We follow the dictates of our constitution because we are a constitutional state, and we are a country where freedom of expression is in the bedrock of our constitutional arrangement."

Ramaphosa's remarks did not tell the whole story, though. Malema, the leader of the black nationalist communist party Economic Freedom Fighters, was actually convicted of hate speech in 2011 for singing the very same songs.

However, in 2022, South Africa's Equality Court superseded the prior conviction and determined the hate speech charges to be unconstitutional. According to Ground Up, the judge declared "society has a duty to allow and be tolerant of both popular and unpopular views of its members."

At the same time, two white South Africans have been convicted of hate speech since Ramaphosa took office.

In 2018, a woman named Vicky Momberg was sentenced to three years in prison, with one year suspended, for using a derogatory word against a black policeman 48 times.

According to the BBC, Momberg allegedly had her racist rant caught on video and shared to social media. On the video, she used the term "kaffir," which is seen as a slur against black South Africans. The term originates from a word for non-Muslims in Africa who were often slaves.

In 2022, Belinda Magor was arrested after she said black women should have their uteruses cut in a WhatsApp messaging group. She also wrote, "What I say is: ban the black man. They rape, they steal, they kill, worse than any pit bull could, and they get away with it."

Magor was fined and told to issue a "written apology to black South Africans for her hate speech and not repeat the racist utterance on social media and public platforms."

South Africa's human rights commission described the woman as a "defender of racial discrimination."

Neither of these convictions were overturned on freedom of speech grounds.

How Trump broke the illusion of liberal Christian 'compassion'



The backlash came fast.

Last week, a plane landed: 59 Afrikaners, mostly farmers, mostly white. Trump called it a genocide. MSNBC called it racism.

Turning away the persecuted because they’re the wrong color is not justice; it’s betrayal.

Just like that, we were off. Cue the outrage cycle, fearmongering chyrons, left-wing think pieces, and Twitter threads from soft-palmed theologians who wouldn’t recognize a plow if it hit them in the face. “This isn’t what Christianity looks like,” they screamed.

But that’s precisely the problem. Trump’s version of Christianity doesn’t look the way they want it to. It doesn’t speak in nonprofit euphemisms, hold committee meetings on climate equity, sing hymns to intersectionality, or check in with the Episcopal diocese before making moral decisions.

It does something far more offensive: It acts on behalf of people the professional Christian class has decided no longer count. In other words, white, rural, conservative Christians who don’t fit the preapproved narrative.

Since the fall of apartheid, over 2,000 South African farmers — the majority of whom are white and Christian — have been murdered. It’s not a conspiracy theory. It’s documented by AfriForum, confirmed by Genocide Watch, and still chanted in the streets: “Kill the Boer, kill the farmer.” Yet none of this made it into the MSNBC segment. No photos, testimonies, or grieving families. Just condemnation of Trump’s optics.

Instead, somewhat preposterously, MSNBC fixated on the Trump administration’s decision to revoke Temporary Protected Status for Afghans. It was painted as cruel, hypocritical, and — gasp — even racist.

But that myopic take ignores what TPS is and what it isn’t.

TPS was never intended as a permanent visa. It's in the name, after all — temporary. It was created as short-term protection for people fleeing war zones, natural disasters, or sudden upheaval. The expectation was clear: Once conditions stabilized, people would return home. It was not meant to be a substitute for asylum or a silent pathway to permanent residency. It was designed to function like a humanitarian stopgap, not a loophole.

The legacy media could have made that distinction, but they chose not to. Of course, we know why: Saying Trump followed legal protocol doesn’t sell. Saying he’s racist does. Moreover, revoking TPS doesn’t mean automatic deportations. It means re-evaluating immigration pathways through more deliberate channels.

In other words, more structure, more security screening, and more accountability.

But the media don't want to hear that. They want to frame the whole thing as ethnic cleansing with a press release. The disingenuity and deception are staggering.

Which brings us to the Episcopal Church.

This is the same denomination that once prided itself on global humanitarian work. The same church that took federal money for decades to resettle migrants and called it Christlike, that praised itself for “prophetic witness” under every administration — until Trump.

Then, suddenly, moral clarity became optional. Compassion had a disclaimer. And Christian charity came with a footnote: Only if it’s politically convenient and only if the suffering checks the right boxes.

“In light of our church’s steadfast commitment to racial justice,” said Bishop Sean Rowe, justifying the Church’s refusal to assist in resettling white South African Christians.

Apparently, justice stops when the victims are white. That’s not moral clarity. That’s selective compassion. It’s the Episcopal Church as a cultural concierge, offering mercy only when it’s fashionable, when it photographs well, and when it won’t rattle the donor base or offend the editorial board.

But that’s the exact opposite of Christianity’s core ethic. The gospel doesn’t filter the wounded. Christ didn’t ask for demographic credentials before healing the sick. Turning away the persecuted because they’re the wrong color is not justice — it’s betrayal.

Trump, for all his flaws, didn’t play that game. He didn’t wait for theological consensus. He didn’t ask whether these Christians were the right kind. He just acted. And in doing so, he exposed the uncomfortable truth: The real split in American Christianity isn’t between denominations. It’s between those who believe faith should do something and those who believe it should signal something.

Trump’s Christianity doesn’t flatter elites, quote theologian Karl Barth, or attend interfaith summits. It doesn’t apologize for its roots or rename Christmas. It’s blunt, imperfect, pragmatic, and deeply offensive to the people who have turned Christianity into a lifestyle brand.

But look at the record.

Trump’s administration fast-tracked Syrian and Iraqi Christian refugees, groups the Obama administration left behind. He raised the profile of Nigerian Christians being slaughtered by Fulani militias. He placed visa restrictions on regimes that persecuted believers.

The liberal media barely covered it.

But ask Christians from Qaraqosh or Kaduna who showed up. It wasn’t NPR or the National Council of Churches. It was Trump’s State Department — and here they are showing up again.

Many in the American church, at least the part that gets airtime like the Episcopal Church, aren't interested in defending the faith. They're more interested in managing it, sanding down its edges, apologizing for its past, and translating it into something that looks more like a DEI seminar.

When someone breaks that mold — when someone like Trump uses it as a vehicle for action — they call it heresy.

But maybe heresy isn’t the problem. Maybe the problem is a faith that has become allergic to strength, certainty, and action without apology.

ROOKE: TDS-Infected Left-Wing Media Run Cover For Regime Of Death

'Left-wing media freak-out was expected, but no less disgusting'

South Africans deny 'white genocide' despite evidence: 'We call ourselves the rainbow nation'



A sampling of South Africans said that their country does not persecute white farmers after President Trump forced South African President Cyril Ramaphosa to watch evidence of the contrary at the White House.

Trump had his team turn down the lights and play a video that showed the gravesites of white South African farmers, known as Afrikaners, and other evidence of anti-white sentiments while the South African president looked on for more than four minutes.

'We don't have no separation in this country.'

The media was quick to play damage control over the fact that 10% of the South African government is occupied by the Economic Freedom Fighters, politicians who have explicitly called for the murder of whites.

A Reuters report spoke to South African residents in Johannesburg and promptly showcased individuals who rejected the claims of violence in response to Trump.

"I don't think we need to explain ourselves to USA," a 40-year-old trade union member said. "We know there's no white genocide. So for me, it was pointless exercise."

Another man told the outlet that violent crime "in its entirety" needed to be looked at in South Africa but noted the statements surrounding "white genocide claims" have all been "taken out of a context."

"I don't think [it] should be the focus," the man added.

One local pointed to South Africa's multiculturalism as evidence that no racial divide exists.

"I think Donald Trump, he thinks he is leader of the whole world. ... We don't have no separation in this country."

The man continued, "We believe [this] as South Africans. That's why we call ourselves the 'rainbow nation.'"

Afrikaners have faced issues regarding the confiscation of their land for some time, culminating in a new law that allows compulsory acquisition of private property by government for public purposes or that which is in the public interest.

This is coupled with the government's national development plan that allows for "rapid transfer of agricultural land to black beneficiaries."

These policies, drawn down racial lines, fly in the face of the idea that there is not a national threat facing the farmers.

With the South African president telling Trump that anti-white sentiments represented just a small segment of his population, it seemingly depends on what one's definition of small is.

Trump showed footage of a South African political party singing a song called "Shoot the Boer," or "Dubul' ibhunu," to a stadium full of supporters. The overall support of the EFF, the party pushing the sentiments of land seizure and outright murder, represents about 10% of the government and popular vote.

The EFF holds 39 seats in South Africa's 400-seat parliament and had 9.5% of the popular vote in 2024, becoming one of the fastest-growing parties in the country. It is currently the fourth-largest party in the nation, and the party symbol includes a black-power fist.

Corporate Media Deny Attacks On South African Farmers After Trump Shows Video Evidence

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa didn’t deny people are being killed, just that it is not his fault

The Media Dismiss Anti-White Violence In South Africa Because It Undermines Their Agenda

If you want to understand where the left’s obsession with racial “equity” and “reparations” leads to, look no further than South Africa — where white farmers are allegedly being murdered and face discrimination for the crime of being white. But good luck finding honest coverage of what’s transpiring there in the corporate media, which are […]

'Not based on color': Tom Homan debunks media claims about white South African refugees with Glenn Beck



The director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement flatly denied the idea that refugees from South Africa were being welcomed to the United States because of their race.

Director Tom Homan spoke to BlazeTV host Glenn Beck on Wednesday, the same day that President Donald Trump welcomed South African President Cyril Ramaphosa to the White House.

'There's no color to refugees.'

Trump pressed the South African leader about the mistreatment, and sometimes murder, of white Afrikaner farmers in his country. Trump even showed Ramaphosa a horrifying video that featured gravesites and a stadium full of South Africans singing about shooting white people.

Beck asked Homan if he had any comment about the "debacle" in the media where left-wing outlets criticized the Trump administration's decision to bring 59 white South Africans to the U.S.

"There's no color to refugees," Homan plainly stated. "We don't base refugee status on color. We base it on the law. ... It's not based on color. I know, I read a lot of media stories, and a lot of the media is basically, you know, 'because they're white.' Refugee status isn't based on color."

Homan added that refugee status in relation to race is "not the way the law is written" and assured Beck, "That's not the way we're doing things."

When it came to illegal immigration, Beck and Homan also discussed the CBP Home app, a program designed to help illegal immigrants self-deport back to their home country.

"It's been good," Homan explained. "I mean, several thousand signed up. We just did our first flight where we hosted that flight and sent them home."

Homan was likely referring to a flight of 65 illegal immigrants who accepted a free plane ticket to their home country on the condition they would receive $1,000 upon landing.

The director revealed that there had been around 4,500 additional sign-ups, and when a group of illegal migrants at a detention center had been presented with the option recently, about 50% of them volunteered.

"'You want to go home? We'll make arrangements. Go home, and you get $1,000 for going.' And just about half of the population raised their hands," Homan said.

Homan's conversation with Beck also included responses to politicians like Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D), both of whom made strong statements about the Trump administration and Homan's department.

Walz had referred to ICE agents as a "modern-day Gestapo" that is "scooping folks up off the streets," while Swalwell had claimed that the Trump administration had been prosecuting its political enemies.
