Well? Isn't that precisely what the useful idiots are doing to federal law enforcement officers simply trying to uphold existing immigrations laws in this country?



Hint: The reason why things are getting violent in these leftist "sanctuary" cities is not the fault of ICE officers. It is merely the natural result of federal law enforcement officers being violently harassed by spoiled children while attempting to perform their sworn duties.

And I have to tell you; it is a good thing that I am not in charge of these operations. I would be filling busses with these "protesters" and charging them with everything my legal teams could come up with. They would be jailed with no parole until their trials, which would be delayed as long as absolutely possible. I would make sure their miserable lives were destroyed just as those charged with J6 violations were. These idiots are being paid to do this which make them enemy combatants. I would treat them as such. President Trump needs to stop playing Mr. Nice Guy.

That's how you know that it was a "peaceful" protest. He "peacefully" broke the taillight with his foot.


Here is an attractive young lady explaining the situation in terms even a child could understand. As for TDS afflicted liberals - well, we're just going to have to hope for the best.

 

Trump says federal government won’t step into protests in Democratic-led cities until they ask us for help​

President Donald Trump said Saturday that he has instructed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem not to intervene in protests or unrest in Democratic-led cities unless local officials formally request assistance, amid criticism over heavy-handed immigration enforcement tactics used by the feds.

“I have instructed Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, that under no circumstances are we going to participate in various poorly run Democrat Cities with regard to their Protests and/or Riots unless, and until, they ask us for help,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“We will, however, guard, and very powerfully so, any and all Federal Buildings that are being attacked by these highly paid Lunatics, Agitators, and Insurrectionists,” he added.

CNN has reached out to the White House and Department of Homeland Security for more details about Trump’s announcement.

Calls grow for independent probe into Minneapolis shootings | 60 Minutes​

Feb 1, 2026
Lawmakers are calling for an independent investigation into immigration enforcement tactics in Minnesota as members of the Trump administration face scrutiny over claims they've made.

13:20
 
At three minute mark they have the cause and effect backwards. Ie: a direct attempt to distort the truth.

The protestors are the ones who acted out of line, which then caused the ICE agents to become more aggressive.

Not the other way around like they imply in their biased reporting.

They try to lie and say that the 3000 extra agents came first, and then became aggressive to regular citizens, causing them to then get in agents faces and try to stop them from enforcing immigration law.

The extra officers were sent only due to the fact that ICE officers were being attacked while just trying to enforce the laws that have been on the books for decades.
.....and that used to be strongly enforced by both Dems and Republicans.

Had the idiot "protestors" simply let ICE do their job from day one, none of them would have been pushed or pepper sprayed or arrested or even shot.

The only reason that stuff happens, is because the so-called protestors are actively interfering with legitimate ICE operations.

To support what they (protestors) are doing, is to say that you'd think it ok to go interfere in a traffic stop, simply because you don't think cops should be able to write tickets.

That's what these idiot protestors are doing. They don't care what the law says. They just demand that they get their way.

That cannot be allowed to exist.

There is in fact a legit way to change the law.

Dems controlled the fed gov not too long ago. They could have repealed all immigration laws if they wanted to, but didn't change any of them.

What they did, was to just ignore them, but now they want to freak out because they are being enforced again. Boo f'ing hoo for them.
 
and once they do investigate... and they should... we're going to learn who has paid these perps to protest...

At least that's what should come out in this witch hunt....
 

Philly DA Larry Krasner says 'don't be a wimp' after Gov. Josh Shapiro decried his comparison of ICE agents to Nazis​

Philadelphia’s bombastic district attorney, Larry Krasner, is no stranger to opposition from within his own party, but the anger directed at him last week after he said ICE agents are “wannabe Nazis” was more pronounced than usual.

After making the comparison, Krasner faced a wave of criticism, including from Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, who called the comments “abhorrent” and said the rhetoric doesn’t help “bring down the temperature.”

But the progressive district attorney said Monday that he would not back down, saying “these are people who have taken their moves from a Nazi playbook and a fascist playbook.”

International companies cut off business in the US because of ICE​

French tech and consulting multinational Capgemini said it is “immediately” selling its U.S. unit that works with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, after the French finance minister and lawmakers expressed pointed concerns over a contract with the agency to surveil and locate undocumented immigrants.

Capgemini said in a statement Sunday that the Paris-based parent company is making the divestiture because it is unable to “exercise appropriate control” over the U.S. subsidiary to “ensure alignment with the Group’s objectives.”

At issue is the participation of Capgemini’s U.S. subsidiary, Capgemini Government Solutions, in a new ICE program to track 1.5 million undocumented immigrants through paid contractors using a combination of remote technologies and on-the-ground surveillance, with financial incentives for speed in locating individuals. CGS was set to be the lead contractor for the “skip-tracing” program, having secured a contract with a ceiling of $365 million over two years — the highest among 14 chosen contractors.

Pro-Trump influencer said ICE only targets ‘crooks’ – and then they came for him​

For months, Júnior Pena told his followers there was nothing to fear as far as Trump’s immigration policies were concerned. The Brazilian influencer, who built a large online audience by documenting immigrant life in the United States, repeatedly defended President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown. When reports surfaced that ICE agents were detaining Brazilians, Pena waved off the concern.

“They’re all crooks. The lot of them.” he said in a video posted in Portuguese. “Don’t panic.” But it seems as if he should have had every reason to panic.

ICE suffers legal blow over detention centers​

A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from enforcing a policy that required members of Congress to provide seven days’ notice before visiting immigration detention facilities, ruling that it likely violates appropriations law.

U.S. District Judge Jia M. Cobb granted a temporary restraining order on February 2, 2026, siding with the lawmakers who argued that the notice requirement unlawfully interfered with their ability to conduct oversight.

Newsweek has contacted Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as well as its parent agency, DHS, for comment outside office hours.

Trump, Immigration, and ICE

A number of scholars emphasize that immigration lawmaking belongs to Congress, and they are skeptical of executive actions that effectively reshape immigration policy through enforcement choices.

ICE agents fear they're not being paid hiring bonuses​

While the Trump administration has promised high salaries and generous bonuses for federal immigration agent recruits, a wave of apparent new agents have taken to social media to complain about getting stiffed on everything from bonuses to health insurance, the International Business Times UK reported.

“Been here for about 2 months, still waiting for my health insurance… is anyone having that issue as well?” reads a post on the social media platform Reddit on an unofficial forum for deportation officers, reviewed by the Business Times.

Those schoolers are pretty stupid then, because all ICE is doing is to enforce the laws that Congress enacted.

Where were they when Biden actually reshaped immigration by ignoring the laws congress enacted, and let 10 million illegal enter the nation?

Trump is actually enforcing the laws congress wrote.
 


Actually, it's worse than that. The laws that President Trump is enforcing (his Constitutional duty) were largely enacted by democrats.

Furthermore, the filthy Kenyan himself told a reporter in 2013 that he was sworn to uphold the laws that were passed.





2013. Barack Obama shuts down a reporter who asks him to consider “unilaterally freezing” deportations for children of illegal aliens.

Obama immediately rejected the idea: “My job in the executive branch is supposed to be to carry out the laws that are PASSED.”

He added that if he loosened the immigration rules on his own, then he would essentially “be IGNORING THE LAW in a way that I think would be very difficult to defend legally.”

“So that’s not an option.”

 
2013. Bernie Sanders warns that flooding the country with low-skilled labor hurts American workers, especially young people.

He said this at a critical time, when lawmakers were pushing a bill that would bring in hundreds of thousands of new entry-level workers into the labor market.

“Is it really true that we can’t find American workers to do those jobs?” Sanders asked. “I don’t believe it,” he answered.

He followed with another question: “Do we really need hundreds of thousands of workers… coming and competing against these kids?”

“I think not,” Sanders said.

 
Once deadly force is justified, how many shots fired, matters little.

Bellingcat
Click to expand...
That is a source that has been off my radar for some years. My memory is that this entity was thoroughly discredited as unfactual. I don't remember the details, but I think it was either behind the Skripal/Steele dossier, or the "White Helmets" untruths in Syria. Perhaps both? I consider this "Bellingcat" entity to be rather low on intelligence, and high on sensationalizing propaganda that is based on "evidence" that is clearly manufactured to support their narrative.

I guess reusing an old and dried up name is more appealing to them than inventing a new one.
