Democratic leaders aren’t inciting attacks on Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers out of pure hatred for Donald Trump and his administration. Their motives are strategic. Practical. By undermining immigration enforcement, they protect a pipeline of future Democratic voters — including violent criminals like the “family man from Maryland.”
Once these illegal aliens receive driver’s licenses, they’ll land on voter rolls. They already count in the census, inflating congressional representation in blue states teeming with illegal immigrants. Democrats didn’t bring these “newcomers” here just to deport them.
Republicans imagine that all or at least most Americans are on the same wavelength with them. But that may not be the case.
If activists now ambush and shoot ICE agents, Democratic leaders seem to treat that as a price worth paying to preserve their long-term electoral advantage. And they can count on the corporate left-wing media to help them.
The press operates as an extension of the Democratic Party, not just in the United States but across the Western world. CNN, NBC, and MSNBC broadcast the same spin you’ll hear on CBC, BBC, Deutsche Welle, and France 4. With this media backing, Democrats face little scrutiny — even when they tacitly abet violence against federal agents.
Right now, public support for deportations hovers around 50%, and it might be higher if the media didn’t stage-manage the narrative. Watch a few minutes of network television or skim the New York Times, and you’ll come away thinking border czar Tom Homan’s raids target preschoolers and migrant field hands.
Fox News insists the anti-Trump mobs are just fringe radicals. They’re not. A massive leftist electorate just nominated Zohran Mamdani to be the next mayor of New York City, and if the polls mean anything, he just might win in the fall. Other major cities are led by mayors only slightly less radical — Karen Bass in Los Angeles, Brandon Johnson in Chicago, Michelle Wu in Boston. When it comes to immigration, they’re just as hostile to ICE and just as gushingly sympathetic to illegal aliens as Mamdani.
The “people” voted for these multicultural, America-be-damned leftists. The fantasy that Democratic voters are victims of a hijacked party is infantile nonsense. A growing share of the American electorate has radicalized — including black voters, government employees, and especially college-educated white women, who dominate the culturally leftist bloc in my own Pennsylvania borough.
Despite years of street violence, riots, and inflammatory rhetoric, the Democrats haven’t collapsed. They still hold a slight edge in the generic congressional ballot. RealClearPolitics polling shows the GOP ahead by only seven points. The Democrats may have lost ground — but they’re far from finished.

Let’s not forget: In the last presidential election, Democrats lost the popular vote by just two million votes, running a hapless candidate against an incumbent with enormous political energy. That’s how effective the Democratic machine remains — even in a lopsided matchup.
No one should mistake this for incompetence or insanity. Yes, the party boasts plenty of scatterbrained motor mouths such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.). But don’t confuse theatrics with disarray. Democratic leaders push grotesque policies — mutilating children with “gender-affirming” surgeries, putting men in women’s sports, promoting race-based discrimination — but voters haven’t punished them for it.
Republican observers tend to judge the other side by their own standards. They also imagine that all or at least most Americans are on the same wavelength with them. But that may not be the case. Democrats don’t even pretend to feel regret when ICE officers take a bullet or when anarchists torch city blocks. They know their base relishes in the havoc.
This is calculated politics. Democrats want to expand their base through mass migration and lawfare, not persuasion. That’s cold strategy, not insanity.
If Republicans want to win, they need to stop imagining their opponents are self-destructing lunatics. They aren’t. Democrats play to win. The GOP must prepare for a real fight — not fantasyland.
Tom Homan has a message for New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani: He cannot stop the deportations.
Homan, who is in charge of immigration enforcement and removal operations, has brought the hammer down on illegal immigrant hot spots across the country. The socialist Mamdani pledged to put that to a stop if he were elected mayor of New York City in November.
'We're going double down, triple down on the sanctuary cities.'
Mamdani said in a public statement that he would "refuse" to let federal agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement "terrorize" New York City, after previously stating that he would also "stop masked ICE agents from deporting our neighbors."
On Monday, Homan responded to the idea that Mamdani would refuse to cooperate with ICE. A reporter asked Homan outside the White house if there was a plan to "work around" Mamdani's plan to not work with ICE agents in the city. It was at that point that Homan informed the Democrat of the harsh reality.
"Good luck on that. We're gonna be in New York City," Homan replied. "We're going double down, triple down on the sanctuary cities. Why? Not because they're blue city or blue state, because we know that's where the problem is."
Border czar Homan then claimed sanctuary city mayors have knowingly released threats to public safety into their streets, in apparent acts of defiance against the federal government.

"We know they're releasing public safety threats and national security threats to the streets every day because they don't honor our detainers. We know that," Homan explained.
The Trump appointee admitted that the same problem has not persisted in states like Florida, where ICE receives full cooperation from the state. Therefore, Homan said he would continue to send "assets" where the problem is: "sanctuary cities."
"We'll flood the zone of sanctuary cities," Homan continued. "If they don't let us arrest the bad guy in the county jail, they're gonna arrest them in the community, we're gonna arrest them at a worksite. So we're gonna increase community operation. We're gonna increase worksite enforcement operation. We're gonna get the bad guys."
The latter sentiment has been a point of contention among the Trump administration and the president's supporters, despite the administration performing raids at manufacturers and food packagers across the country.
A Department of Homeland Security memo told agents in June to put raids on farming, hospitality, and restaurant industry locations on hold, but the White House quickly ended the directive and reversed the policy just days later.
On Thursday however, Trump told supporters in Des Moines, Iowa, that "radical right people" would be unhappy to hear that he is working on legislation to protect presumably illegal farm and hospitality workers who get "viciously" thrown out of the country.

Nevertheless, Homan reiterated on Monday that even though ICE has aimed for 3,000 detainees per day, the goal is even higher than that.
"Do the math. We’ve got to arrest 7,000 illegal aliens every single day for the remainder of this administration just to catch the ones Biden released into this nation," Homan told reporters.
According to Customs and Border Patrol data, more than 8.7 million illegal aliens were encountered in the United States between 2022 and 2024 under President Biden.

Notorious California state Sen. Scott Wiener and a fellow Democrat have introduced legislation that would prevent members of law enforcement — from the lowliest local cops to federal immigration agents — from wearing face coverings.
On Monday, Wiener of San Francisco and Assembly Public Safety Committee Chair Jesse Arreguín of Oakland introduced the No Secret Police Act, which would make wearing a mask a misdemeanor for on-duty officers.
"We’re seeing the rise of secret police — masked, no identifying info, even wearing army fatigues — grabbing & disappearing people. It’s antithetical to democracy & harms communities," Wiener posted to X. "The No Secret Police Act can help end the fear & chaos this behavior creates in communities."
'They're being doxxed all over the place.'
"What we have been seeing in the last few weeks are law enforcement — some local, some federal — who are wearing masks to completely hide their faces while they are carrying out deportation and other enforcement activities," added Arreguín, according to KABC-TV.
Border czar Tom Homan has repeatedly insisted that ICE agents must wear masks to guard against doxing. "They're being doxxed all over the place," he told Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck last month. "Their pictures are being put on telephone poles in major cities. These officers are under great threat. They identify them. They put their home, they put the phone numbers or home address. It's just ridiculous."
The proposed legislation does permit some exceptions for SWAT members and those wearing medical or safety masks to protect themselves against airborne disease and wildfires that regularly rage through the state. Face shields will also be permitted for those combatting riots, so long as their faces are still visible.
The New York Post noted that masked rioters on the streets of Los Angeles were caught on camera committing horrific acts of violence, including against police.
However, as the No Secret Police Act notes, existing California law already prohibits wearing "a mask, false whiskers, or any personal disguise, as specified, with the purpose of evading or escaping discovery, recognition, or identification while committing a public offense, or for concealment, flight, evasion, or escape from arrest or conviction for any public offense."

Democrats are continuing their assault on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) by faking outrage over a raid where officers saved illegal alien children from an alleged child labor operation on a marijuana farm in Southern California. ICE agents on Thursday executed a federal search warrant at a Camarillo, Ventura County, marijuana growing operation, Glass House […]
In a Monday article published by Axios, Democrat leaders told the outlet their supporters want more from them, including blood, to fight against Trump’s illegal immigration efforts. That same day, a man with a rifle and tactical gear shot at Border Patrol agents and local law enforcement in McAllen, Texas, resulting in a police officer being […]
