"When are Democrats finally going to accept that illegal immigration is not a winning issue for them?
Their position only becomes more untenable as time passes. Without federal dollars from agencies like USAID flowing into NGOs and by extension into far-left activist groups, the Democrat response to ICE deportations across the country has been limited. No substantial mass marches, no big riots, no mobs at the border trying to throw the gates open.
Democrat Party leaders, however, haven't received the memo. With their now limited resources they are attempting to create artificial drama to draw public attention and lure volunteer protesters to their cause. They can't keep the borders open anymore, but they can try to stop the deportations of the millions of illegals already in the US.
Progressive political leaders are taking to throwing themselves upon the ramparts of ICE detention facilities to disrupt prisoner transfers. The situation has escalated after Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested for trespassing at an ICE center in New Jersey. Baraka arrived at the facility with a cadre of protesters and Democrat representatives. He is seen in bodycam in an argument with officers and apparently refusing to leave the area, at least initially.
Democratic representatives Bonnie Watson Coleman, LaMonica McIver and Rob Menendez visited the center known as Delaney Hall on Friday saying they wanted to "inspect" the facility. Their posture became confrontational when they were apparently denied entry.
Footage circulating on social media better illustrates what ICE officers have been dealing with; leftists have been using sit-down tactics and human chains in an effort to prevent arrested illegals from entering or leaving the federal building. It's hard to say how this will stop mass deportations but it does put the spotlight on Dem politicians, which is what they care about the most."
