The Spin

Federal law enforcement is doing exactly what voters demanded when they chose law and order over chaos. Democrats continue to lie relentlessly about every detail of the Good shooting to protect murderers,criminals childwho molestersare andin rapiststhe United States illegally, while demonizingthey demonize ICE agents who risk their lives daily.

ICE has dangerously flooded Minnesota with more agents than local police combined, conducting militarized door-to-door raids against the wishes of local law enforcement and terrorizing entire neighborhoods. The administration is sending a clear message that armed federal agents can show up anywhere with impunity while VanceRepublicans falsely claimsclaim absolute immunity that doesn't exist under law. Communities are fighting back because these operations don't make anyone safer.
