From Portland, Oregon, to Philadelphia, and from New York City to Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, and dozens of other “Sanctuary Cities,” the radical OccupyICE/SurroundICE/AbolishICE agitators have been waging war on America’s national security and our ability to define and defend our borders. While the attacks have centered on the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), including physical obstruction and occupation of ICE offices and harassment and doxxing of ICE employees, the real goal — as announced from numerous Leftist websites, as well as the chants and banners of protesters — is “No Borders” at all. In other words, according to...

The United States is a terrible place. At least that appeared to be the theme of Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s ominous chat at a historically black college on Friday. Warren was part of a Q&A session hosted by Congressional Black Caucus Chairman Cedric Richmond at Dillard University in New Orleans. “Let’s just start with the hard truth about our criminal justice system,” she railed. “It’s racist. It is. And when I say our system, I mean all the way. I mean front to back. This is not just sentencing reform we’re talking about here. We’re talking about the front end on...

CNN political commentator Angela Rye compared ICE officials who separate families at the U.S. southern border to slave traders during a heated debate on CNN Thursday night, adding that she didn't recognize Donald Trump as her president. The commentary came during a segment on "Cuomo Prime Time" with former Trump campaign spokesperson Jason Miller, also a CNN commentator. The back-and-forth began when Miller argued that it was important for the U.S. to enforce its immigration laws in securing the border and criticized Rye for wanting an "open borders" policy. Rye argued she never called herself pro-open borders. “Clearly you don’t...

I will prosecute ICE for their criminal acts,” Teachout said. “We have stories of consistent abuse within ICE.” (RELATED: Democrats Have ‘Abolish...

Oh my God we had a doozy yesterday during a hearing on child separations on the Hill. The Senate Judiciary Committee asked officials from Immigration and Customs Enforcement about the policy and Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) seemed to know jack about our current immigration laws. I mean, basic stuff, like the fact that it’s a federal crime to enter the United States illegally. Matthew Albence, the Executive Associate Director for Enforcement and Removal Operations for ICE, had to give Hirono illegal immigration 101 after the latter said she was “confused.” Yes, you read that right; a lawmaker was confused that...

These individuals are there because they have broken a law.” But Hirono...

“I’m confused,” says Leftist Democrat Sen. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii as ICE Official Matthew Albence tries heroically to explain to her that Illegal Immigrants have broken the Law!

Albence responds to her strongly, “No Ma’am, they are there for violation of Title 8 of the U.S. Nationality Act.” Yes, the Democrats are at best “confused.” . . .
