Watching James O’Keefe on The Megyn Kelly Show was a wake-up call for anyone who still believes left-wing street mobs are harmless virtue-signaling. O’Keefe laid out bluntly what many in the media refuse to admit: the anti-ICE activists who have taken over parts of our cities are organized, aggressive, and have threatened journalists and bystanders. Megyn Kelly pressed him hard, and the warning was clear — these aren’t peaceful protesters; they’re a dangerous fringe that will not hesitate to use violence.
The backdrop to this ugly moment is the shooting of Renée Good in Minneapolis on January 7, which has inflamed tensions across the country and driven activists into the streets. Local and national outlets reported that an ICE officer shot Good during a chaotic enforcement operation, sparking protests, grief, and furious partisan finger-pointing. Whatever the legal outcome, the raw footage and conflicting narratives have left Americans uneasy about federal operations and street violence alike.
Instead of calming things down, the deaths and confrontations have been met by an orchestrated campaign of nationwide demonstrations that frequently spill over into chaos. From the Bay Area to small towns in Florida, anti-ICE rallies organized by national left-wing networks have shut down streets and disrupted ordinary life — and in several places those demonstrations have turned confrontational. That pattern is predictable: where local leaders refuse to enforce the law, agitators move in and the situation degenerates.
Then came the more chilling footage and reports from later clashes, including the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis on January 24, which only deepened the crisis of confidence in how these operations are managed. Witness accounts, video, and conflicting official statements have produced more questions than answers, and some reporting suggests medical responders and bystanders were blocked from assisting — a breakdown that would be shameful in any civilized community. Americans deserve full transparency, but they also deserve to live without fear that mobs or poorly controlled operations will leave people dead.
What makes this especially dangerous is the mainstream media’s reflex to frame these incidents as mere protests or a justified reaction to federal policy, rather than reporting on the lawlessness and organized radical networks O’Keefe described. Too many anchors and columnists gloss over the threats, while local politicians excuse the lawlessness in the name of politics. That moral cowardice only emboldens the worst actors and leaves honest citizens and journalists exposed.
Conservatives should be clear-eyed: peaceful dissent is an American right, but we will not surrender our streets and safety to mobs who chant slogans and then escalate to violence. Law-and-order is not a partisan talking point — it’s the foundation of a peaceful, functioning society that protects innocent lives and property. Those who cheer on chaos must be held accountable, and those in power who enable them must be forced to choose between order and anarchy.
If this country is to survive as anything more than a collage of lawless enclaves, leaders must restore order, media must stop gaslighting the public, and citizens must insist on accountability from every corner of government. The brave men and women who serve in law enforcement and federal agencies deserve respect when they protect the public, not reflexive condemnation fueled by activists and opportunistic politicians. America can have both the right to protest and the right to be safe — but only if we reject the violence and the double standards that now threaten us.
