Since President Trump returned to office and began enforcing immigration law again, Democrat leaders have turned up the rhetoric to eleven. Nowhere has that been clearer than in Minnesota.
Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey have publicly compared ICE agents to the “gestapo,” accusing them of committing “atrocities” and telling them to get out of the state.
That’s the accusation.
Now here’s the reality.
Border czar Tom Homan announced that as the recent ICE surge winds down, agents were able to locate and rescue over 3,300 missing and endangered children who crossed the border under the previous administration.
Over 3,300 children.
These were unaccompanied minors who had effectively disappeared into the system. ICE tracked them down. They found them. They rescued them.
That does not sound like “Nazis.” It does not sound like “gestapo.” It sounds like federal officers doing the kind of work most Americans would assume deserves bipartisan support.
ICE and Border Patrol have also removed dangerous criminal illegal aliens from communities while facing constant protests, lawsuits, and political attacks. Yet when agents locate thousands of vulnerable children, much of the media barely acknowledges it.
You can debate immigration policy. You can argue about enforcement priorities. But branding law enforcement officers as historical villains while they are actively rescuing children is indefensible.
Tom Homan’s announcement forces a simple question: If finding over 3,300 missing and endangered children is controversial, what exactly are Minnesota’s leaders objecting to?
Because the results speak for themselves.
