Politicans Are Creating Chaos With These Words

A few weeks ago, I started noticing a dangerous trend online.

Border Patrol Agents or I.C.E. were not law enforcement.

Just days after the trend began, the partner of Renee Good was heard on video saying that she couldn’t believe ICE had real bullets.

After the second ICE shooting in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Governor Tim Walz repeated the claim that ICE was not law enforcement.

 

First, the obvious. ICE is law enforcement. They are federal law enforcement officers, and they can not only enforce federal law but also do so throughout the United States.

Until 2025, this was never in question. 

During the Obama Administration, the United States deported 3 million illegal immigrants. ICE was law enforcement at the time that occurred.

So What Changed? 

Obviously, it’s politics, but what may not be so obvious is the danger those politicians are creating by telling their followers that ICE has no authority.

What would possess a man to allegedly attend a protest with a weapon and no identification and then get into an altercation with federal law enforcement officers attempting to perform their job?

Could it be his belief that he isn’t protesting or fighting law enforcement, but masked men kidnapping Americans off the street?

Tragically, we may never know.

Mental Illness or Misinformation

One thing is clear. Governor Walz and others know that ICE is law enforcement, so why are they telling the world they aren’t?

We’ve seen this before.

A seldom discussed fact in the riots of 2020 was the idea that law enforcement was killing thousands of unarmed black men per year.

A study by the Skeptic Research Center showed that liberals believed that police had killed 10,000 unarmed blacks in 2019.

It was 12.

As I’ve said many times, if I had believed that, I probably would have been on the streets as well, and this is the problem with the propaganda that is being spewed by Walz and his gang of liars.

If you believe that ICE isn’t cops and they are criminals and they are kidnappers and they have invaded an American City without bullets, some will do more than post online or protest.

They will fight and resist, and when people do, tragedy often follows.

The chaos we are seeing can end today, but it will take our leaders not only to tell the truth but also to give sound advice: protest is a right, but fighting, resisting, and obstructing law enforcement are serious crimes with serious consequences.
