In blue cities throughout America – the demonstrators often often seek violent ice facilities surrounding the federal officers from fulfilling their legal duties devoted to arresting illegal foreigners.
About 10 million or more illegal foreigners have been allowed to enter the United States during Joe Biden Years – illegally and thus without criminal or health checks.
no Antifa Liberal urban urban America has not objected to this blatant ignorance of the law. But both of them intend to obstruct the legal enforcement of the law as it was earlier in favor of its illegal enforcement.
Much less than their interest in the consequences of sending millions of foreign citizens to cities and provinces, where they flooded social services, increasing crimes, emergency rooms and schools.
ICE has repeatedly provided data that appears on its first rounds of deportations, focusing on removing illegal foreigners or those who have already treated with deportation orders, somewhere between 70 and 90 % of all current concerns.
It doesn’t matter.
Left demonstrators bother the ice headquarters in Portland To oppose all deportations violently, even those known criminals and those who have already exhausted the efforts to stay here illegally.
Why? The Democratic Party applies that the public wants both the border and the deportation of illegal foreigners. In fact, in part, the elections were lost because of the invitation of their open borders.
But Democratic officials feel that if thugs in the streets, such as Antifa, can surround the ice facilities in Portland, Oregon, the deportation will stop. After that, you will follow the actual pardon of millions who entered the United States illegally – and will soon become democratic voters.
As a result, they do not fully impose the law when the thugs attack federal law. Antifa and their cross groups are preferred tonight, when they try to prevent all entries, ice vehicles and employees, and they can commit their violence with anonymity.
The convincing rioters attack anyone on their way. They depend on the exemption from the punishment to commit violence against federal officials through goodwill or indifference from local and state officials who hate Trump administration More than respecting the law. Orwellian’s scenario follows the attack on federal officers by Antifa, which in turn is the lack of interference in the local police.
Summary: Armed City officers of the city of Portland, in a virtue, with their federal counterparts – in our copy of something from 1860, on the eve of the true civil war.
The mayor of Portland Keith Wilson and the ruler of Oregon Tina Cotik feel that their voters want open borders, and therefore they should have the right to their city and their state to carry out them – and the federal law is cursed.
David Marcus: They are in Portland and they come to a city near all of us
But by doing this, both the official Democratic Party and armies are on the streets of Antifa on the wrong side of history.
Portland’s armed officers in a virtue of a representative war with their federal counterparts – in our copy of something in 1860, on the eve of a real civil war.
America has already decided for nearly 200 years, in the provisions of the official law and the court, that no local entity or country can disrupt the enforcement of federal laws or the rape of Washington’s powers. To do this with impunity that would reveal the American nation in a short time.
We know this from our violent history. In 1832, such as Trump, Andrew Jackson threatened to send forces to stop the abolition of federal tariff laws in South Carolina.
America has fought a civil war on the efforts of the Confederation states to ignore federal law and confiscate or occupy federal property in their judicial states.
In late 1963, the governor of Alabama state George Wallace It is believed that it can lead to the abolition of federal law using the state guard to deny the registration of black students at Alabama University – until the Kennedy administration photographed all state soldiers and sent them to additional federal forces.

Alabama’s governor is George C. Wallace, “The Class, the Class Tomorrow, the Class Forever” during his opening speech in 1963. In June 1963, Wallace prevented the door to the Alabama University building to prevent joining the order of two black students, until the Federal goalkeeper forced him to step down. Soon it became a symbol of integration resistance. In subsequent years, Wallace publicly claimed his actions, saying that he was not racist in the heart. (Getty Images)
So what we are witnessing in Portland-and other places-is a new attempt to turns in federal law, and in the reactionary way, calling states and cities.
Oregon Portland believes they are more moral than the federal government, and therefore they have a natural right to mob to the streets by not being applied by their laws against violence fighting violence and ignoring the innate civil rights of ICE members.
David Marcus: In Democrat Portland, luxury, homeless and complete turmoil
The latter is deprived of freedom of movement, associations, and the ability to fulfill their job duties through what it turned out to be a siege close to their facilities.
Democrats are fine with all this. They believe that violence against ice will be depicted daily as chaos of the general by the allied media. Consequently, optimal people who remain on the siege and criticize it will simply want everything that disturbs them to move away – and they are supposed to blame those who implement, not a break, the law. In short, the Democratic Party is the official face of the left. Antifa provides trauma forces in the streets, and the media is a propaganda arm.
Therefore, the left logic is to allow violence and the siege to continue in a “safe space” to combat Antifa. The tied snow is supposed to be closed at the end of the operations and move forward. Any violence that can be destroyed to the “stabbing” Trump government in Portlands.
The ruling moral assumption is that the lands of waiver of terrorists, the non -imposition of local and state laws, and the abolition of federal laws are all small prices to pay the costs of the greatest projection of chaos and violence that can be blamed on Trump.
This thinking requires absolute indifference to any Portland who live near the siege and are exposed at night to continuous disorders, harassment and accidental violence. Do these population committed to law enjoy less civil rights than the armies of the night?
On the contrary, the federal forces’ use to stop the siege in icy facilities will remind the left -wing demonstrators that their new tactics will not succeed, but instead they are being arrested and charged with federal accusation.
The federal support forces will also protect the rights of ICE employees and neighborhood residents to live in peace and security and secure their constitutional protection. Not all American citizens are Portland, but all American Portland citizens.
In other words, both Antifa and comfortable state officials are new separatists. They feel that their states are now independent entities that are still entitled to federal funds but are not obligated to follow federal laws.
Portland also reminds us of the absolute interference of The mayor of Los Angeles Karen Bass. On the one hand, she pleads with federal dollars to restore the neighborhoods of its burned city due to its incompetence and neglect, while the federal government is actively hindering the imposition of immigration laws in its city.

For a party that was quick to scream “rebellion”, it is irony that Democrats and their beneficial employees, despite violence, rebel against the federal government and its agents.
It is difficult to know what is worse, who at night is trying to hit a federal officer, or the new pre-official who enables him to continue to try?
