The Democrats in Congress, they know this and they want this to come to a crushing halt.

I mean, they just don't want anybody to be deported.

And so they know that if they toss this thing on, that if you're an average American and you're just kind of sitting there thinking, oh, well, that doesn't sound so bad.

Why, you know, why couldn't they go get a judicial warrant?

They know that the end game is the complete slowdown and stoppage of the immigration enforcement in the United States, which means that they would achieve their objectives while Donald Trump's in office that they were trying to do while Joe Biden was here, which is, of course, bring in as many people as they can.

Don't deport anybody.

and see what happens to the electorate.

Hey, if you're an illegal alien, you need to go home.

You need to be deported.

Now, especially if they say you're an illegal alien who's committed additional crimes in the United States.

It used to be universal consensus that even that population needed to go.

You can look at old quotes and clips from Hillary Clinton, from Barack Obama, from Joe Biden, from every Democrat that has been on the national scene over the last several decades.

And they used to say these things.

But of course, now where the rubber is actually meeting the road in Minneapolis, where ICE and CBP have been engaging in targeted operations, going after these convicted criminals who either have removal orders or who, because of the sanctuary city policies in Minnesota, ICE doesn't have the ability to detain after they've been encountered by law enforcement.

And so these guys and gals are engaging in things that everybody used to agree was good, and it was good for society, and it was necessary.

It's a necessary function of any sovereign government.

But yet what we see now through the agitators present in Minneapolis, present across other cities across the United States,

well-funded, well-organized, being pushed from all kinds of different folks behind the scenes, all kinds of different Marxist networks behind the scenes that are trying to create this image of resistance, of overreach by the Trump administration.

And they're trying to do this because they want to convince the average American that they have more in common
