The Soros Network Behind the Anti-ICE Resistance

It is absolutely absurd to me that the actions of these “protesters” are being deemed as protest at all. They are guilty of obstruction of justice. If a duly sworn in law enforcement officer of any kind (state or federal) is in the process of filling their responsibility to arrest someone or investigate a crime of any kind, interference with that process is obstruction. That is not hard to understand. These outcomes fall squarely in the shoulders of the sanctuary cities and the politicians governing them. Not to mention the fraud legacy media that continues to spread lies, twist truth, and blatantly withhold critical information. These people are all culpable.

I'm not sure that there is any need to make significant changes to ICE. The real issue is that as soon as protestors cross the line from 'speaking' to interfering, they need to be arrested and processed. Those organizing these interference operations need to be arrested and charged, potentially for insurrection! If you choose to oppose existing laws, there is a legal way to do it and if you choose the illegal way, be prepared to pay the price. Carrying a weapon to ANY kind of protest is insane and is asking for disaster. It might be legal, but there is a difference between legal and appropriate!

No I wouldn't reform it. I also wouldn't use a car to impeded law enforcement, or worse yet, carry a gun while attempting to impeded law enforcement. I.e. you can't jump off a bridge, die, then complain about gravity! Right or wrong, those that Knowingly put themselves into that situation get what they get. Sorry. No, wait, I'm not sorry....not gonna apologize for ignorance.

I lived in Europe and saw the collapse of USSR. You have spoken correctly. ICE operations in Blue zones is where trouble happens. Not in Red cities or states.

I feel many have TDS and cannot see this is nothing more than hate for a person. We deserve to have our nation behave according to the law. Instead we have people hired to cause violent protests and interfere to give MSM something to chant about 24/7/365.

I believe that the larger issue is not ICE but the protesters themselves. It is all manufactured to intentionally create the optic that ICE is cruel and brutal. If they were allowed to do their job with out interference, there would be no story.

ICE is not the problem!

Protesters interfering with them, their financiers, & corrupt politicians are the problem! I have no sympathy whatsoever for insurrectionist!

25% of arrests of illegal "immigrants" happen in Texas, with no protests or interference of any kind. That's 25 TIMES more arrests by ICE than in Minnesota. Why are the Minnesotans so determined to keep all their illegal criminals, including rapists and child sex predators?

No. I.C.E needs to continue carrying out Federal law. Deport them all. Remind the rioters that the 1st Amendment says, "peaceable protest". Not interference.

If a protester interferes in any way with a federal law enforcement officer doing his duty, or intimidating him from doing his duty, such as by doxxing or threats against him OR his family, arrest the protester immediately and charge with obstruction. And petition for more than $1,000,000 bail as a flight risk.

I believe that ICE needs to thoroughly review their training, tactics and ways to quell more violent protests and protestors. However, the overarching fact is that the protestors, many times, are acting criminally by physically impeding a federal law enforcement operation. They should be arrested, charged, and jailed for their miscreant ways. Many are paid agitators by the very organizations you mentioned.

I don't see reform, I see more discipline and training. Unfortunately there will always be agitators and rioters, so the officers need to know how better to deal with them. I applaud and respect law enforcement, so never will I support or understand defund or reform.

I want to thank you for your measured and respectful response to accusations of bias and one-sidedness. Much of our nation is incapable of reasoning and rational dialogue, so your answers may not be received well by some of the accusers. I will say that your family members who "did not make it" into the USA and immigrated to Israel ended up in the better place. No one will keep a Jew safer than Israel.

To get to the root of the problem, follow the money. Soros, the NGO's and the jerk in China need to be stopped somehow. Can NGO's that cause riots be heavily taxed? Can Soros's citizenship and visa be revoked?

I don't see a need to call for dismantling the agency. We do need to emphasize reforming its practices to align with legal and ethical standards, such as improving detention conditions and ensuring due process.

No need for reform - what we need are politicians up & down the chain who actually follow the constitution & uphold the rule of law by arresting anyone who vandalizes or impedes our communities and otherwise engage in civil destruction incorrectly labeled as ‘protest’. There is no right to destroy society, and we’ve let that mentality of what the bounds of legitimate protest are in America go unchallenged for far too long. We see the awful effects everywhere

I believe the concept of sanctuary state and local government needs to be challenged and eradicated through the courts. That would solve a great deal of the ICE enforcement optics that are so politically damaging to the right.

I just wanted to note I had neighbors, both are deceased now, that were retired Army and Korean naturalized citizen. One night at dinner I started to ask her about the process of becoming a citizen. He kicked me under the table and I didn't complete the question. Later he told me she had just done all the work and became a citizen when many illegals were granted amnesty. I think that was in the '90s. That was a sore spot for her because she did all the work and they got in for free. She was extremely patriotic, the flag went up first thing in the morning, sometimes at 0300 or 0400 and was recovered nightly. This was done by her until she died, even after his death.

No not ICE. The only thing that needs immediate reform is the Socialist Democratic Party (.) THE END!

Arrest and deport the criminal illegals aliens on the DHS non detained docket, then we can have a conversation about the law abiding illegals who have been here for years paying taxes and raising families. Why the progressives can't see the difference between the two is either extreme TDS or the people pulling the strings want to keep the grift in Minnesota going. That makes Minnesota a crime scene and the ICE interference a distraction. Dick Minnis removingthecataract.substack.com

Unfortunately, ICE is being denied the support of local law enforcement that should be dealing with the protestors, agitators and law breakers while ICE deals with immigration. I daresay that even the longer training cycle didn't address extended training dealing with all the levels of interference that they are now experiencing. What I heard was that the longer training dealt a lot with Spanish language training that has been supplanted by electronic real time translation devices.

The only thing ICE needs is body cams which will show everyone just how crazy these protestors are. For the use of deadly force, an ICE officer has to prove is he truly believes that he or others are in imminent threat of being killed or seriously hurt. This is the same standard used by all law enforcement officers across this nation. I'm sure they are well schooled on this in their training. So why is ICE being characterized as the "greatest threat to the nation" by Democratic leaders, when the same ICE agency deported millions under Obama without a word, it's called the Trump affect! If people die, so be it, as long as the Democrats can take power!

I know the Trump administration knows the funding source(s) for these agitators, namely the Soros backed foundations and some of them have been designated as terrorist organizations. Is there a strategy in the works to go after the head of the snake, i.e. Soros and get him prosecuted? Regarding the agitators, in Florida our county sheriffs do not at all tolerate this insurrection and it does not happen or last long. Several of our county sheriffs have publicly announced at press conferences that if anyone threatens their deputies by throwing bricks, rocks or trying to physically harm them, they are authorized " to shoot them graveyard dead". I am not advocating this but until these anarchists see legal justice being applied and sustained with not backing down, the insurrection and boldness in these cities will continue to mount. To that end, the fuse of civil war is being ignited and the likely response at that point is to call in the 82nd Airborne to stop it. Jim Bird

ICE doesn’t need to change, but the environment they are working in does. How is a sanctuary city or state even allowed and which part of illegal is it that they don’t understand! I’d ask someone who supports that to please explain the difference of someone illegally entering their home versus illegally entering their country. Illegal is just that, illegal and should be dealt with accordingly. Supporting illegals who broke the law is due to politicians advocating it and local law enforcement following their lead. Probably be good thing if supporting the illegals was solely their responsibility and didn’t fall on taxpayers that don’t support it. This won’t change until their mindset changes or their removed, along with the media that supports them.

Only to ramp up the training to teach against agit-prop sucker moves, so that the officers' actions, however provoked, don't give useful propaganda. Know your enemy! That they will twist any action in unimaginable ways to make you the villain.
