Kali Fontanilla on X - "I have been seeing Democrats desperately trying to rewrite the history of Obama and Biden because it makes them squirm when they are reminded that they did not care when Obama and Biden treated illegals the same, if not worse than Trump. Here are some facts they ignore:
1. Obama deported more illegals from the country than any president before him. Over 3 million removals. This does not include the roughly 10 million rejected at the border.
2. The “kids in cages?” That was Obama.
3. About 60 percent of Obama’s deportations involved individuals with no criminal convictions. That means he was not just deporting murderers and sex offenders. He was deporting people whose only crime was entering the country illegally.
4. Roughly 74 percent of Obama’s deportations were carried out without due process. He relied heavily on expedited removal, meaning no trial and no appearance before an immigration judge.
I am exhausted by the hypocrisy and performative outrage of the left. It is dangerous. Just like BLM was dangerous. They latch onto causes they know nothing about because the mainstream media tells them what to care about. They scream, cry, loot, destroy property, abuse officials, burn cities, and act like unhinged toddlers. Then, the moment their guy is in the White House, they drop the cause they claimed to care so deeply about like a hot potato. When they get like this, the energy mirrors what we saw during BLM. It is demonic. And it is not even summer yet. Buckle up. Pray."
Cynical Publius on X - "I have a challenge for all of my followers. Go find ten Democrats on X. I don't care if they are famous or are some Internet rando anon. Ask each of them this question: "Why do you oppose the lawful enforcement of America's long-standing, bipartisan immigration laws?" I don't care what the answer is. I don't care if they even answer. Nor should you. Asking the question is enough. This is about framing the debate and winning the Information War. Right now we are constantly on the defensive responding to outrageous lies about ICE. Guess what? The Democrats are winning because THEY ARE FRAMING THE DEBATE. We need to flip the table. The question I pose does just that. We will lose the Information War if we do not take the offensive. This question FRAMES THE DEBATE in our favor. Want to be an Information Warrior? ASK THE QUESTION."
wanye on X - "More dispatches from an Ezra Klein listener. This time he’s talking to somebody about ICE and their history of immigration enforcement under Biden. His guest is very careful to establish that the Biden administration, and the department historically, took the view that most illegal aliens are here working and minding their own business and that there is no or little social value in pursuing them. So this meant, she tells us, that previous administrations chose only to pursue the most serious criminals. They would perform hours and hours of paperwork behind the scenes before they ever made contact in an effort to be as sure as possible that they were getting the most important people. They wanted to be absolutely certain that they were pursuing only the most obvious, unassailable, necessary deportations. And, she goes on to say, when they finally did make contact, they approached it carefully and as non-confrontationally as possible, taking their targets into custody early in the morning at their homes. But here she starts to lose her nerve, a bit. She begins hedging and peppering her sentences with, “to be sure“ and, “I’m still not saying this is great“ as she explains the horror of little kids waking up on those days to find out that their father or their mother is gone. She wants us to know, it seems, that even this is regrettable and morally questionable. So much is revealed in this moment. Despite the long preamble about how in these earlier cases we were always dealing with the most serious criminals, the people with the weakest cases to remain in the country, she still can’t help betraying a belief that deporting those criminals entailed serious tradeoffs. What about the people who will miss them when they’re gone? You can just see that there’s no possible scenario in which they’re going to be enthusiastic about deportations. Who really are we to say that these criminals can’t be here? I can understand why some people are put off by some aspects of performative right wing cruelty. But one simply must be better equipped to face the hardness of reality than this."
Cynical Publius on X - "See the image below. The Democrat/Media Complex is determined to make you think we are seeing Civil Rights Era 2.0 Violence. They want you to think that this is the exact same thing as the firehoses and dogs being turned loose on peaceful civil rights marchers in 1960s Democrat Southern states. Allow me please to help you identify the differences and why this comparison fails entirely.
1. 1960s Civil Rights Marches:
Peaceful, unarmed marchers in non-violent protests.
Protests were for a pure and noble civil rights cause supported by the Constitution.
Protestors stood for human rights.
Marchers never interfered with law enforcement.
Local Democrat state authorities violently punished peaceful protestors.
2. 2025/2026 Marches Opposing Immigration Law Enforcement:
Violent marchers armed with a variety of actual and improvised weapons in deliberately violent protests.
Protests deliberately seek to destroy the lawful exercise of Constitutional powers.
Protestors stand for protecting a corrupt voting base of illegal alien fraudsters
The purposeful intent of the marchers is to feloniously interfere with law enforcement in the lawful conduct of their duties.
Local Democrat state authorities encourage violent protests to punish federal law enforcement.
Can you see the con now? Don't let them get away with it."

Dumbest people in America are the white liberal, and there are more of these idiots per capita in Minnesota than anywhere in the nation. They have no idea they are being massively manipulated into doing the bidding of people making millions and billions."
Greg Price on X - "To my leftist friends: I do not care that a leftist agitator got himself killed because he decided to arm himself with a gun and venture out to resist ICE, nor the other one who sped her car at an ICE agent while fleeing arrest, nor do I care about the little kid who was detained with his illegal alien father. And neither do you, because all you care about are turning people-- whose deaths never would have happened if you people didn't have a psychopathic opposition to lawful immigration enforcement-- into martyrs who can be used to justify ending deportations, which you want because it's the biggest threat to Democratic political power. What I do care about is the fact that there are millions of illegal aliens that have invaded my country. Your party are the ones who spent the previous 4 years importing as many of them into America as possible-- allowing millions of foreign military-aged men to cross the southern border and resettling them all around the country with our tax dollars. You didn't give a crap about the thousands of unaccompanied children that smugglers dropped off at the border-- nor the thousands that went missing-- in one of the biggest child trafficking operations in the world that happened because of your party. You didn't care about real victims like Laken Riley, Jocelyn Nungaray, and Rachel Morin-- not agitators trying to obstruct law enforcement-- but innocent people who were minding their own business when they were brutally murdered by criminal illegal aliens that Biden released into the country. But you people have decided that it's imperative that these illegals be able to stay. That somebody fresh over the border from Honduras is just as American as the rest of us. That somebody with such disrespect for our country that their first contribution to it was breaking our immigration laws should be given the same rights as every American. That they should be allowed to continue stealing jobs, driving up housing costs, and mooching off American taxpayers. And you want this for one reason and one reason only: Because it's the only way you can continue winning elections. You don't actually care about any of these people. You just want to give them citizenship so they can vote for Democrats and count them in the census so that blue states have more electoral votes than they deserve. All you want is to import as many foreigners as possible and give them a stake in the political future of our country so that Democrats can rule forever without the consent from actual Americans who you couldn't give two craps about. And you of course don't actually want to deal with the consequences of mass immigration. The places you live are not the ones where massive demographic changes have happened almost overnight. You'll continue living in your majority-white affluent communities while working class Americans deal with the influx of your new class of voters. And now, you are have decided that burning down the entire country is worth it if it means your precious illegal aliens get to stay. Your politicians are the ones have actively encouraged the riots in places like Minneapolis and radicalized people into thinking they have a right to obstruct lawful immigration enforcement. Renee good and Alex Pretti are dead because of you. I, along with 77 million other Americans, voted for a government that promised mass deportations. And that doesn't mean just gang members and criminals. It means every single person who crossed the border illegally or has overstayed their visa. It doesn't matter if they're a murderer or uber eats driver. We voted to get rid of them all because America is a sovereign nation that has the right to deport people with no right to be here in the first place. So no, I simply do not care about any of the sob stories that you manufacture on a daily basis to emotionally manipulate people against lawful enforcement of our immigration laws. I don't care if federal agents wearing masks triggers you, I don't care about your tug-at-the-heartstrings propaganda, and I especially don't care that your illegal alien "neighbors" feel scared. We're sick of being told we're bad people for objecting to the hordes of third-world illegals that you brought here without our consent. The moment you decide that Americans matter more to you than protecting illegals is the moment the chaos and death comes to an end. But you won't because all you are useful idiots for a machine that seeks to make Americans poor and miserable in the country their ancestors built."
Minnesota is on the verge of becoming a failed state - "Minnesota, the “land of 10,000 lakes”, was once known for its natural beauty and its residents’ superabundant American friendliness. Now it is looking more and more like a failed state. It all began with astonishing revelations about massive welfare fraud, perpetrated in large part by members of the state’s Somali population... just as damaging as the scale of the fraud has been the suspicion that leading Democratic leaders in the state had done little to stop it. There has certainly been significant pandering among Left-wing politicians to the Somali-American vote. Some have even pointed out that the state’s new flag bears a remarkable resemblance to that of Somalia, though we are reassured that this is coincidental. Democratic leaders, including state governor and failed 2024 vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz and “Squad” congresswoman Ilhan Omar, have angrily opposed Donald Trump’s immigration policies, appearing to believe that the US should admit unlimited migrants, even from countries with high levels of corruption. Just before the New Year, however, the fraud scandal departed from the sober realm of federal jurisprudence for the world of viral journalism. Videos posted to YouTube by the 23-year old independent journalist Nick Shirley quickly captured the attention of Trump, Republican lawmakers, Elon Musk, and other influential personalities, who are now highlighting Minnesota as a nexus of corruption, illegal immigration, Democratic politics, organised crime, and, more recently, out-of-control street violence. Walz denounced Republican criticism as “vile, racist lies and slander towards our fellow Minnesotans”. But the evidence is already taking its toll. Allegations of racism can’t deflect attention from the scandal or uncomfortable questions about what Walz and other leading Minnesota Democrats knew about the fraud. The issue now confronting the US is whether state and local governments in Minnesota can really be trusted to clean up the mess or will even allow federal law to be enforced – particularly on immigration. The department of health and human services has suspended all federal family assistance to Minnesota, which totals $185m annually, until matters are cleared up. But Trump has also lifted temporary deportation restrictions that protected some Somalians, as well as announcing that as many as 2,000 extra federal agents would be unleashed on Minnesota’s “twin cities” of Minneapolis and St Paul. This comes on top of the hundreds of other federal agents already operating in the duopolis. According to ICE’s acting director Todd Lyons, this represents the largest immigration policing operation in American history. Trump has now placed 1,500 airborne soldiers and other troops on alert, for a potential deployment under the Insurrection Act of 1807, a measure last used in 1992, but one that allows the president to deploy the military on his own initiative to preserve law and order where they are not being enforced... the behaviour of the Left in the state hardly disproves the need for federal intervention. Thousands of protesters have taken to Minnesota’s streets despite the brutal winter cold. Reports have emerged of ICE agents being physically assaulted by protesters. On Sunday, a mob of anti-Trump protesters stormed a church to disrupt a religious service. The Trump administration blames Walz and his fellow Democrat leaders for the mess in Minnesota. “[The] Minnesota insurrection is a direct result of a FAILED governor and a TERRIBLE mayor encouraging violence against law enforcement,” posted deputy attorney general Todd Blanche on Tuesday. Last week, Walz, Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey, and several other Minnesota Democrats were subpoenaed by federal investigators who believe their actions and statements may have illegally obstructed federal law enforcement."
‘Direct threat’: Arizona AG suggests residents can open fire on masked ICE agents under state law - "Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, a rabid Democrat, suggested this week that her state’s Stand Your Ground law could potentially entitle Arizonians to open fire on immigration agents... The Arizona Police Association also fired back. “Law enforcement officers at every level including state, local, and federal agencies do not always wear traditional uniforms,” they said in a statement to KPNX. “Officers across Arizona, including members of the Attorney General’s own investigative teams, routinely operate in plain clothes or wear protective face coverings when circumstances require it. This does not diminish their legal authority or status as law enforcement.”"
Left wingers incite insurrection, then pretend that they're victims of "tyranny"
Minnesota Arrests Churchgoers For Interrupting Protest | Babylon Bee - "The controversy that erupted over last Sunday morning was finally addressed by authorities, as Minnesota leaders ordered the arrest of churchgoers for interrupting a leftist protest. Following the incident in which journalist Don Lemon and a mob of protesters barged into a Saint Paul church during a worship service, state and city officials vowed to deal with the problem, culminating in criminal charges being brought against the members of the church's congregation. "We can't allow our sacred protests to be violated in such a hateful way," said Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. "Part of our job as elected officials is to make sure mobs can move freely throughout the state without fear of being interrupted by Jesus worshippers. The troublemakers who impeded the protest on Sunday have been identified and will now be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law." Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey hoped the incident would serve as a warning to other churches to stay in line. "We will not tolerate churchgoers harassing our brave, law-abiding protesters," he said. "Leftist protesters and rioters make up so much of the fabric of our communities and play a large role in making Minnesota what it is. This officially puts Christians on notice. Don't cause any more trouble." At publishing time, Minnesota officials had also announced charges against citizen journalists who had started investigations into alleged fraud perpetrated by Minnesota officials."
Don Lemon's ex-CNN colleague Chris Cillizza questions journalist after storming Minnesota church (aka "Ex-CNN colleague of Don Lemon questions whether he should be considered a journalist ") - "Chris Cillizza, CNN’s former editor-at-large who worked with Lemon before both of them were separately dismissed, penned a piece on his Substack with the headline, “Is Don Lemon a Journalist?”... Lemon has repeatedly referred to himself as a journalist, which he argues gives him First Amendment protections to cover the unrest that unfolded. He insisted he has “no affiliation to that organization” and “didn’t even know they were going to this church until we followed them there,” although video he posted on YouTube suggested he had been at least somewhat aware of the agitators’ plan."

Melissa Chen on X - "Who says the Chinese can't innovate? They used to have these birth hotels in California where pregnant Chinese foreign nationals would camp out and eventually give birth to secure US citizenship for their offspring under birthright citizenship laws (jus soli). Now, thanks to lax US laws governing international surrogacy, wealthy Chinese are using American women as surrogates to have their babies for them. They then go back to live in China and once the child turns 21, the entire family can apply for citizenship through a green card application. Birthright was meant to be for freed slaves and for children of legal immigrants who came to work during the Industrial Revolution. It's being abused. And it will obviously have electoral consequences. @peterschweizer details everything in his new book, The Invisible Coup."
Minnesota activist who organized church storming earned over $1M running nonprofit
AG on X - "One of the organizers of the Minnesota church invasion runs a non-profit that is a slush fund for her own expenses. In 6 years, her salary has significantly exceeded all the money the non-profit gave out. The largest donor? The Walton Family foundation"
Dudley Newright on X - "I know this elderly lady who's spent her life running a thankless nonprofit in my city that runs purely off of small private donations (i.e. people passing a plate around at church). There is no ROI in donating to her org, because it's genuinely and completely dedicated to helping people in need. She accepts no government grants because her mission is explicitly Christian and she'd lose her independence if she took the money. She wears thrift store clothes, eats Walmart food. Everything in her building is donated and janky. She doesn't have personal belongings or consider her time to be her own, she treats her life like a vessel through which God's provision flows. She's the sort of person the police call at 3am when the local crackhead needs to be literally talked off a ledge. She's had guns pulled on her, she goes to court to put people in jail who need to be there, and to help the ones who don't. She's been always-on for 40 years. Everyone knows her. When she dies there will be thousands at her funeral who've been helped through a rough patch, multi-generational families--mine included--restored and moving toward some level of stability as a result of her impact. She's the closest thing I've known to what people imagine a Mother Theresa" to be. Growing up I thought this was what a "nonprofit" was because it was the only one I knew. I later learned there's a whole global ecosystem of nonprofits run by rich girls with master's degrees who employ armies of administrators to sit at desks all day. They get huge government and foundation grants to do things like "spread awareness in the community," and in exchange the grantees get some kind of social good branding boost, or it's an excuse to have a golf benefit where a bunch of execs get a networking opportunity with a step-and-repeat photo op, or it's some sort of graft or convoluted patronage scheme, and most or all of the funds go to keeping the administrative structure afloat. It's hard to put into words how much political power these orgs have today, the money's difficult to track. But the modal nonprofit is implicitly or explicitly left-wing, and the Democratic party is operationally inseparable from the diabolical machinations of this opaque network on every front, from immigration to criminal justice to climate change to abortion to transing kids. The woman I know would not get offered millions from Walmart. And if offered she wouldn't accept it. The ones who do know the game they're playing, and some play it more elegantly than others, but they're all playing it."

A Man Of Memes on X - "CONFIRMED: 490 RELEASED INSTEAD OF TURNED OVER TO ICE
Kristi Noem confirms that Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz released 490 serious offenders — including individuals convicted of violent crimes and major drug offenses — instead of transferring them to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody while they were already in jail. This was not a mistake. This was not unavoidable. This was a decision. When leaders choose release over cooperation with law enforcement, communities are the ones left at risk. Public safety should never come second to politics."

Natalie Jean Beisner on X - "Obama not only continued a Bush-era policy called Secure Communities but he also made it mandatory for all fifty states. Secure Communities forced state and local law enforcement to communicate with every single law enforcement agency—including ICE. When a suspect was apprehended, their prints were sent to ICE within seconds, and their immigration status was shown. If you think law enforcement looked the other way once they found out you were illegal as long as it wasn’t a serious crime you’d been picked up for, you would be mistaken. And you can fact-check me. This is how you get to three million in 8 years. Hope that helps."
Natalie Jean Beisner on X - "This is also why there wasn’t chaos in the streets during Obama. It’s not because he was doing everything according to what Democrats think is “due process” (he wasn’t). It’s because ICE was getting fingerprints automatically, issuing detainers for illegals, and going directly to the jails. Therefore, they rarely had to be in the streets, and so, the public didn’t get the chance to follow, attack, or attempt to impede them. Most people literally had no idea, because the media was way more friendly to Ivan’s."
Barclay Mullins | Facebook - "In April 2000, under President Clinton, federal agents raided a Miami home to seize six-year-old Elian Gonzalez and return him to Castro’s Cuba—all in the name of diplomacy and “following the law.” In November 2014, President Obama stated plainly that undocumented immigrants had broken the law and must be held accountable, especially those who posed a danger. In June 2009, Senator Chuck Schumer openly referred to people who entered the country illegally as illegal aliens and said they should not be treated the same as legal immigrants. Enforcing immigration law wasn’t controversial then. It was expected. The law didn’t change. The border didn’t change. The language did. “Illegal alien” became “undocumented worker.” Law enforcement became “cruelty.” National sovereignty became “hate.” Same laws. Same authority. Just different words—and a very different narrative."
