Libs of TikTok on X - "Acting U.S. Attorney Nancy Larson drops BOMBSHELL charges—10 individuals face attempted murder for a coordinated AMBUSH on ICE officers in Alvarado, TX “It was a planned ambush with the intent to kill ICE officers. Make no mistake, this was NOT a peaceful protest""

Superman star Dean Cain sparks backlash after launching ICE recruitment campaign
Nobody is above the law - unless it pushes the left wing agenda. Then enforcing the law is "fascism"

Adam Johnston on X - ""I'm a proud Guatemalan before I'm an American." - Dem. Rep. Delia Ramirez
“Sleep in comfort, knowing that I am here to protect the interests of Somalia from inside the U.S. System.” - Dem. Rep. Ilhan Omar
People like this shouldn't be in America let alone U.S. Representatives."
Xenophobia! If you don't let politicians prioritise other countries over the ones they work for, what does freedom even mean?
We're still told that left wingers don't hate their countries

James Kirkpatrick on X - ""We need to compete with China, the rising world power."
"How?"
"Admit infinity immigrants from the most dysfunctional places in the world and dismantle our own culture and identity."
"Wow, is China doing that so they can succeed?"
"No, they just do the opposite of all that.""
The Refined Populist on X - ""But we'd only bring in immigrants from the intelligent, advanced nations like Switzerland and Japan?"
"No. illiterate Somalis, Indians who don't understand flush toilets, and violent Haitian cannibals."
"How would any of those people benefit America?"
"DON'T BE RACIST!!!""

Libs of TikTok on X - "NEW MEDIA SPIN JUST DROPPED
“ICE forcefully raided a California farm and arrested farmers.”
REALITY: It was a WEED farm exploiting child labor, and ICE agents had rocks thrown and a gun fired at them You don’t hate the media enough."

Rep. Pramila Jayapal on X - "When someone is detained by ICE, they are often sent to a private, for-profit detention center. The same detention centers that cut corners to increase profits, are rife with abuse, and bankroll Republican campaigns. Your American tax dollars at work."
Sunny on X - "You're not allowed to deport them, you're also not allowed to detain them here, you're only allowed to permanently subsidize them and let them break the law as much as they want."

And then say the Mexican President is a fascist for trying to stop me"

Robby Starbuck on X - "Sorry but if you were cool with jailing people for going to church during COVID or jailing moms for not masking their kids then I don’t want to hear about the "rights" of criminal illegal immigrants that you think we’re violating by deporting them."

PolitiFact | Did Bill Clinton create a fast-track deportation process exempt from due process? No. - "Congress passed and Clinton signed a 1996 immigration law that established expedited removal, a fast-track deportation process that allows people to be deported without going before an immigration judge. But the law didn’t revoke immigrants’ due process."
Explainer | Too Fast for Fairness: “Expedited Removal” and the Family Expedited Removal Management Program - National Immigrant Justice Center - "Expedited removal has been repeatedly shown to have inherent due process obstacles that are often impossible to overcome."
Oops

Chicago gangs clash with Venezuelan Tren de Aragua members: ‘Blacks against migrants’ - "Local gang member Corey Rogers told the New York Post that Venezuelan gangsters will often be seen "showing the flag," a slang term for brandishing their firearms. He also showed the outlet text threads that featured local gang members threatening turf wars with the newcomer gangsters.  "What bothers me is that the Venezuelans are united," Rogers said. "The black gangs are too divided and they take each other down."  Others shared concerns about the possibility of increased violence, telling the New York Post that things had actually improved in the city before the influx of migrants."

End Wokeness on X - "10M third world illegals in 4 years
Media: This is a nation of immigrants
50 white refugees are allowed in
Media: THIS IS NOT WHO WE ARE!!!!"

Matt Walsh on X - "The great replacement is real. If you had any doubt, this story about the South A

frican refugees should clear it up for you. The Left wants unchecked third world migration because they want to make America less white. That's it. It's that simple. That's why they oppose the white refugees. Because white refugees defeat the whole purpose of the program."

Democrat: *everyone waving other countries' flags, American flag burning*

LA Scanner @LAScanner: I want to issue a formal apology. I should not have posted the locations of ICE raids, and I will no longer do so. I've contacted the authorities to take responsibility, and they are currently reviewing my account to determine if any laws were broken. If it's found that I have violated the law, I will cooperate fully and turn myself in. To those targeting my family-please, I'm begging you to stop. They have done nothing wrong and do not deserve to be dragged into this. The anger should be directed at me, not them. Someone has already come to my home, pounding on my door and demanding to confront me. This has gone too far. To anyone I may have put at risk, I sincerely apologize. That was never my intention."

Nearly 1 million illegal immigrants have 'self deported' under Trump, which has led to higher wages

MajinXBuu on X - "Keep in mind that democrats voted to fine American citizens for not buying insurance, and then conspired to give it to illegal aliens for free. 😂🤡"

‘Worrying time for Irish in US’ as Trump makes good on illegals promise - "A leading immigration activist in New York said yesterday that ‘this is a worrying time for the Irish in America’. Ciaran Staunton, head of the Irish Lobby for Immigration Reform, said the recent deportation of thousands of undocumented people from the US is not just confined to immigrants from Central and South America. Mr Staunton is campaigning to legalise the status of the undocumented Irish in the US... The comments come after it emerged 56 undocumented Irish people have been arrested and 43 of them have been deported. The arrests were in New York, Boston and New Jersey and are believed to be focused on Irish visitors to America who overstayed their 90-day visa waiver."
Weird. Left wingers keep insisting that Trump is racist and ICE is only targeting racial minorities. It's almost as if the media is spreading fake news as usual

Russian man arrested at Honolulu airport for alleged immigration violation - "A Russian citizen who was trying to board a flight without “proper identification” was arrested today by federal agents at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu, Homeland Security Investigations officials said.  Vladimir Kalaikov was arrested and “has been issued a final order of removal after entering the United States illegally,” according to an HSI social media post."
This must be misinformation, because left wingers tell us that the government is not arresting white illegal immigrants, and that reality has a liberal bias

ICE Arrests Russian National at Marine Corps Installation in Hawaii - "U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested a Russian woman at Marine Corps Base Hawaii last week, according to the agency and a Marine Corps spokesperson, in what is likely the first known detention of a foreign national under a partnership pilot program between the service and federal immigration authorities that began last month.  Military police at Marine Corps Base Hawaii stopped Anastasiia Vorobeva on June 12 at an entry control point on the southern part of the base, 1st Lt. John O'Hara, a spokesperson for the base"

5 Key Facts About Immigrants and Medicaid | KFF - "Undocumented immigrants are not eligible for Medicaid or CHIP"
Colorado joins multi-state lawsuit to stop transfer of Medicaid data to ICE - "There are about 21,000 undocumented immigrants enrolled in state-funded Medicaid in Colorado as of June."
Can undocumented immigrants get Medicaid? - "Six states provide Medicaid or Medicaid-like coverage (benefits similar to Medicaid but provided through a separate program) to at least some undocumented immigrant adults, and 14 states (including the six that offer coverage to adults) provide Medicaid or similar coverage to undocumented immigrant children and in some cases, pregnant women."
As usual, fact checking is a way to launder left wing propaganda

Providence distributes instructions for evading ICE capture - "In partnership with more than a dozen left-wing activist groups, the “sanctuary city” of Providence, Rhode Island, is sending illegal immigrants instructions by mail on how to navigate Immigration and Customs Enforcement encounters and effectively evade capture. According to a press release announcing the citywide direct-mail campaign, the all-Democrat Providence City Council created the postcard advisories in response to “the brutal and unconstitutional enforcement tactics currently being undertaken by the far-right federal administration.”... Signed in 2017, the Community-Police Relations Act prohibits Providence police officers from aiding federal agencies in enforcing U.S. Civil Immigration Law. In late May, Providence Mayor Brett Smiley (D-RI) reaffirmed the city’s non-cooperation policy after the U.S. Department of Homeland Security designated it as a “sanctuary” jurisdiction that is deliberately obstructing federal deportation operations. “Providence will not proactively collaborate with ICE to provide information,” said Smiley... DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin said such rhetoric vilifying federal immigration officers is inciting violence against ICE agents. “Council President Miller’s comments calling immigration enforcement ‘state-sponsored intimidation and terrorization’ are despicable,” McLaughlin told the Washington Examiner. “This kind of garbage has led to a more than 500% increase in assaults against our ICE law enforcement officers. Providence City Council is putting violent criminal aliens above the safety of their own constituents—it is shameful and embarrassing. President Trump and Secretary Noem are restoring the rule of law and putting the safety of Americans first.” Meanwhile, the Republican Party of Rhode Island is accusing the city council of trying to raise taxes by 8% in order to cover the initiative’s costs. A bill, signed into law last week by Democratic Gov. Dan McKee, allows Providence to exceed the 4% tax levy cap for fiscal 2026 by up to double the state-mandated maximum."
Left wingers used to proclaim that nobody is above the law when they were engaging in lawfare. But this is an escalation of their existing (sanctuary city) active breaking of the law

ICEBlock app designer compares agency to Hitler: "Something had to be done" - "The designer of an app that allows users to track the location of immigration officers compared the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement with "Hitler's rise to power" in Nazi Germany. Joshua Aaron, the creator of ICEBlock, told Newsweek that he "knew something had to be done to help the people" after researching Project 2025 and seeing images of ICE agents detaining people... "As I often say, if you ever wondered what you would've done if you lived in Germany during Hitler's rise to power, wonder no more because you're doing it right now. Developing ICEBlock was my way of joining the fight and giving people a chance to help protect themselves and their communities."... A statement on the ICEBlock app tells users: "Please note that the use of this app is for information and notification purposes only. It is not to be used for the purposes of inciting violence or interfering with law enforcement." Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said on X, formerly Twitter: "This sure looks like obstruction of justice. Our brave ICE law enforcement face a 500 percent increase in assaults against them. If you obstruct or assault our law enforcement, we will hunt you down and you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.""
Nazi comparisons are only bad, inappropriate and cheapening when they hurt the left wing agenda
Apparently, the Nazis detained and deported illegal immigrants. So much for accurate history

Arnold Schwarzenegger says immigrants need to 'behave like guests' - "Arnold Schwarzenegger thinks immigrants need to act like guests when they come to America and “do things legal.” W hen asked by The View co-host Joy Behar what he thought of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids happening in California d uring an appearance on the daytime talk show this week, the former California governor said that newcomers have a responsibility to “keep things clean.” “I just think the world of the great history that we have with immigrants in America, but the key thing also is at the same time, we’ve got to do things legal,” the father of five said. “That is the most important thing. You’ve got to do things legal, and those people that are doing illegal things in America, and they’re the foreigners, they are not smart … when you come to America, you’re a guest, and you have to behave like a guest, like when I go to someone’s house, and I’m a guest, then I will do everything I can, keep things clean and to make my bed and to do everything that is the right thing to do rather than committing a crime, or being abusive or something like that, so that doesn’t really work in this country.” The Terminator star, who immigrated to the U.S. in 1968 and became a U.S. citizen in 1983, said that newcomers “ use America for the great opportunities,” but added that they need to contribute back to the country’s success. “You have a responsibility as an immigrant to give back to America and to pay back to America and go and do something for your community for no money whatsoever. Give something back to after-school programs, Special Olympics, or whatever it is, make this a better place,” he said... “Democrats and Republicans have to come together and solve this issue (of immigration reform) if they really want to be public servants. If they want to be party servants, and be party hacks and be tied to their ideology, then it won’t happen,” he said. “For decades now, this country has needed immigration reform, which means we recognize the fact there’s people in the south of America that want to come north to work, and we should supply them with enough visas to come because we need those workers,” he said. “Then we’d know who is here, we’d be able to get rid of the criminal elements that are here, all this stuff so we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in right now.”... Schwarzenegger and Trump have long been at odds with one another. But back in 2023, Schwarzenegger warned that Democrats “want to f— up every city in America” as he issued a stark warning about his adopted country’s future. During a chat with Rob Lowe on an episode of SiriusXM’s Literally! With Rob Lowe show, Schwarzenegger was asked what it meant to be a Democrat. “Ruin your cities,” he replied. “That’s what the Democrats would say. We are about ruining the cities. We want to f— up every city in America. That seems to be the theme right now.”"
Damn fascist and white supremacist, pulling up the ladder behind him!

New York Democratic mayoral candidate arrested by ICE - "A Democrat running for New York City mayor was handcuffed and arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, dramatic footage shows.  Brad Lander was apprehended by federal agents as he was attempting to accompany a person out of a courtroom... Mr Lander disputed a claim made by the agents that he was preventing them from doing their work...   The Department of Homeland Security later said Mr Lander had been arrested for “assaulting law enforcement and impeding a federal officer”... Ms Barnette later told reporters her husband sought to link arms with a man following his immigration court hearing when “we were swarmed by a number of federal agents”... The incident comes as Donald Trump has stepped up efforts to arrest and deport large numbers of undocumented immigrants, something that was a main election promise.  Polls show there is general support for his policy, especially in regard to individuals who have committed a crime...  The arrest of Mr Lander happened a month after Ras Baraka, the Mayor of Newark, New Jersey, was arrested on a trespassing charge outside a federal immigration detention facility.  The charge was later dropped. Another Democrat, congresswoman LaMonica McIver, was charged with assaulting and impeding federal agents stemming from her alleged role the same day. She has denied the charge... Zohran Mamdani... said of the arrest of his rival: “This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.”"
Nobody is above the law - except left wing politicians
His wife proclaims that they were impeding federal officers, but of course we're still gaslit that they did nothing wrong
Of course, arresting right wing politicians and unleashing lawfare against them is good. It's only "fascism" when it threatens the left wing agenda
