NPR Host Compares ICE to Gestapo
NTK ^ | 01.12.2018 | NTK Staff

Posted on 01/13/2018 8:22:54 AM PST by Cheerio

Maria Hinojosa, an NPR host who covers Latino issues for the publicly-funded station, compared officers for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to agents of the Gestapo, Nazi Germany’s secret police, in an appearance on MSNBC on Friday.

At first criticizing President Trump for his offensive comments about immigrants in the Oval Office on Thursday, Hinojosa pivoted to immigration enforcement as a whole.

“When the president says this, basically, ‘Take them out,’ that is what the community is saying, ‘This is fearful for us. This is the Gestapo on us,'” she told MSNBC’s Ali Velshi. “The troops on the ground of ICE, they’re ready to swing into action.”

Velshi took issue with her comparison of ICE agents to the Gestapo: “I understand the fears that people feel. Of course, I want to separate the idea that ICE agents are like Gestapo.”

Hinojosa interrupted him, standing by her characterization.

IMHO this battle has already been lost - Insane set out to "Fundamentally change this nation" and he had his implants in the education system, news print, radio and TV, and burrowed well into the DEEP STATE in order to advance this beyond any recovery short of Revolution. Talk to the younger generation just coming out of HS or college, many underwater with debt and see how they feel about slowing down legalizing ALL people of the globe no matter how they got here, let alone slamming the borders shut. My generation who believes in the founding of this nation is dying off.

My kids and grandkids and their friends all voted for and love President Trump. I guess it depends on where you live. If you are in one of the liberal sh*tholes, you may be correct.

Name calling is all the left has. It’s their substitute for reason.

You know, at least the Democrats SUPPORT their constituency. I'll give them credit for that, they back them up in every way possible, unlike conservatives. When I had problems in the public schools for teaching the truth, NO ONE would come to my defense even when I told them what was going on. When we fail to support our own, we get what we deserve and what we are seeing now in the absolute evil the Democrats try to force on us.

At least Trump has the backbone to tell them off. What about the rest of you beyond the anonymity of the keyboard? Put up, or shut up.

If you think the battle’s been lost, then surrender. What can I tell you?

Our man won. He is VERY patriotic and isn’t going anywhere and he is waking up the country with each “outrageous” thing he says that is the truth.

He’s not a southern gentleman like Sessions. He is a dirty street fighter when needed and he WILL prevail over his enemies. He is also WAY smarter than people give him credit for.

We NYers don’t #### around when it comes to a fight. ANYTHING goes. At least those of us from parts of Queens and Brooklyn and MOST of Staten Island. He is from Queens.

People will vote next time with their wallets and he WILL win.

I’m 49 and a hardcore conservative. 4 of my 5 nephews and nieces are.

Throw in the towel. But don’t include me with you.

She’s a moron.

The Gestapo went after citizens,ICE goes after invaders.

Big difference.

“...It’s their substitute for reason....”

Yes, reason, truth, reality, patriotism, honesty, class, and any care about the nation and its REAL people. They should all be run out to Venezuela or Cuba where they belong.

The battle was lost when the WW I and 2 Generations elected the corrupt Kennedys and LBJ and Dem Congresses

The generations saved America only to destroy it

The Gestapo rounded up people living legally in Germany and,often,would kill them.

ICE rounds up people present in this country *illegally* and puts them on a bus.

Difficult to see any similarity here...but facts have never stood in the way of taxpayer funded "NPR".

NPR Host Compares ICE to Gestapo

National Propaganda Radio at it’s finest. Must have taken a whole committee to come up up with that gem.

State Media for Democrapweasels

Maybe it’s only fair. I say that everything I hear on NPR sounds like Goebbels rereading a script from “Pravda.” We don’t need Pravda, Goebbels, or NPR. Defend those anti-Americans now.

It’s time to start calling these open border, illegal alien advocates what they are: Traitors. We have to consistently ask them why they hate Americans and make them go on record with their hatred of our country rather than letting them always talk about the stupid Emma Lazarus poem and how letting them all in is an act of love. It’s an act of hatred against citizens. We are not a nation of immigrants, we’re a nation of Citizens. An immigrant who is not a citizen is still a guest and an illegal alien is a criminal.
