The surge of left-wing violence against immigration officers in Minneapolis is entirely different than the situation leading up to the U.S. Civil War.
Organized anti-ICE violence in Minneapolis and other cities is an effort to overturn the 2024 presidential election and duly enacted immigration laws. Donald Trump won the election, in large part, based on his promises to regain control of America’s southern border and to deport millions of illegal aliens. The national legislature has armed him with no new immigration laws. Trump is simply enforcing statutes that the prior administration ignored as it attempted to radically transform American society.
The Department of Homeland Security reports that immigration enforcement officers
are now facing an 8,000% increase in death threats against them and a more than 1,300% increase in assaults against them while they put their lives on the line to remove murderers, pedophiles, rapists, gang members, and terrorists from American neighborhoods.
The mainstream media portrays the demonstrations and anti-ICE violence as the reaction of honorable people pushed to the breaking point by aggressive law enforcement tactics. Renée Good and Alex Pretti, they tell us, are martyrs slain at the hands of an American Gestapo. All Good and Pretti wanted is “due process” for illegals. Enforcement of immigration law is portrayed by organizations such as Indivisible.org, a progressive group at the center of the disturbances, as “racial suppression and political control. It’s grounded in a white supremacist vision of America.” Protestors demand open borders as they chant, “From Palestine to Mexico, all the walls have got to go.”
This is balderdash. Due process is not the issue: Trump’s slowing or undoing of the Great Replacement is the real concern.
