Radical left-wing protesters blocked roads and harassed federal agents outside an ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois last Friday. The angry mob spent 12 hours trying to stop ICE from doing their job of protecting Americans. These same activists who claim to care about justice were actually helping criminals avoid deportation.
President Trump’s new “Operation Midway Blitz” is going after illegal immigrants with criminal records in the Chicago area. The Department of Homeland Security made it clear they are targeting dangerous people who should not be on our streets. But instead of supporting law enforcement, far-left protesters decided to interfere with justice.
The protesters yelled at federal agents and tried to block vehicles from entering the facility. These ICE agents are heroes who risk their lives every day to keep our communities safe. Yet radical activists treated them like enemies instead of the patriots they are.
Chicago’s sanctuary city policies have turned the area into a magnet for criminals from other countries. Governor JB Pritzker and other Democrats have created laws that protect illegal immigrants instead of American citizens. This is exactly why Trump won and why Americans voted for change.
The 11 men targeted in this operation all have criminal records and no right to be in America. These are not innocent people seeking a better life – they are criminals who have broken our laws. Every day they stay here puts innocent Americans at risk.
While ICE agents were trying to do their jobs, protesters blocked roads and created chaos. They care more about protecting criminals than they do about American safety. This is the radical left’s true priority – criminals over citizens.
Operation Midway Blitz shows that Trump is keeping his promises to the American people. He said he would crack down on illegal immigration and criminal aliens. Unlike the previous administration, Trump actually means what he says.
These protests prove that the far-left will always choose criminals over law-abiding Americans. They would rather have dangerous people roaming our streets than support the brave men and women of ICE. This is why we need strong leadership that puts America first.
