Their anti-police, anti-law-enforcement rhetoric – and the violence that always follows it – is nothing new. The country saw it during the riots after the 2020 George Floyd incident, when lawlessness, arson, assault, and even murder were excused and openly embraced by the Left.

Recent actions suggest some on the Left may be attempting to recreate that moment. When TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) collides with election politics, history suggests that the Democrats will do whatever they believe is necessary to gain or retain control of government.

This time, in Minneapolis, the current script goes like this:

1. Rush into an active ICE operation to protect illegal aliens.
2. Call it “peaceful observation.”
3. When violence erupts and someone dies, immediately declare the agents “rogue,” “masked,” and “unaccountable.” Deny any video proving otherwise.
4. Demand the names, faces, and families of federal officers – because that will surely make everyone safer.
5. If you are an elected Democrat, incite more violence.

What could possibly go wrong?

What many find notable is that the activist crowd is, once again, largely white – and seemingly unconcerned that they are positioning themselves as shields for gang members involved in things like child sexual assault, drug trafficking and murder.

A day after an ICE agent fatally shot an anti-ICE activist in Minneapolis, Border Patrol agents in Portland defensively opened fire and wounded two (alleged) Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang members after the driver tried to use his truck like a battering ram and run over the officers. The Left, of course, called them a “married couple” in initial reports just like they called anti-ICE activist Rebecca Good a “mother of three” and a “poet.” Portland officials had to backtrack their information when the truth came out but still only hilariously admitted that there was some sort of “nexus” to Tren de Aragua. What a bunch of clowns!

So as the Trump administration works to remove violent illegal aliens from the country, it has become increasingly clear that elected Democrats will continue to support and shield both the illegal alien criminals and their voters who defend them.

These are the same people who insist routine traffic stops are racist and dangerous – yet now claim charging federal agents in the middle of an active operation is perfectly acceptable. The reality is that this chaos belongs squarely on the shoulders of Democrats, and they know it. Biden opened the floodgates to millions of illegal aliens, including criminals. Sanctuary cities and states then refuse to turn those criminals over to ICE, forcing agents to track them down in homes and workplaces – a dangerous scenario that doesn’t have to exist.
