Here’s the part everyone’s pretending not to understand: ICE didn’t create the mess—it’s cleaning up decades of political malpractice. The same politicians who refused to enforce the law now scream “authoritarian” when enforcement finally shows up. That’s not moral outrage; it’s arsonist panic. Immigration law didn’t vanish because activists got loud on TikTok. Calling illegal aliens “neighbors” doesn’t confer legal status, and shrieking “Nazi” at federal agents doesn’t nullify statutes passed by Congress. When elected officials lie about facts and incite hysteria, they escalate confrontations and then blame ICE for the consequences. This chaos is manufactured—and the noise is coming from the people who broke the system in the first place.
Both sides take advantage of these situations by telling "their side" of the story. The Left accuses murder, kidnapping, you name it, while the right says they're just cleaning up Biden's mess. Although probably the biggest transgressor, every president since Ronaldus Magnus has screwed the pooch on immigration.
Politics is the art of the lie - spin it to make yourself look good, and the country be damned. Get back to the Constitution, enumerated powers, and be done with the grifters and the bureaucracy!
While I agree with your sentiment, the real issue is the citizens of those state allowing this to happen. Did we not learn a damn thing from the 60s & 70s or the riots in the 80s?
It wasn't governments that put a end to it, it was the armed citizens that shut the crap down.
If you noticed, it's all happening in states that have disarmed their citizens & have made defending property & life illegal.
But in states like Montana, this shit isn't happening, well that's because we are armed & legally allowed to use force to protect property & life.
It's time for the law bidding, good people to step up & start self policing & when the state or government wants to step in & stop them, well stand up against them to.
American history is full of such local citizen action when the government can't or won't step up to the plate.
The Iowa class battleship metaphor is perfect for capturing the scale of the policy reversal. What's brillant here is how you connect Newton's Third Law to law enforcement, the escalation from elected officials practically guarantees the confrontational response they then use as proof of "authoritarian overreach." I've watched this same pattern play out localy with sanctuary city policies where the disconnect between rethoric and legal reality creates impossible situations for everyone. The "Rio Linda" framing cuts through so much performative outrage to remind us these are actualy just laws that exist.

This needs to be on FB, LinkedIn, Instagram, and others. It's high time we flood the media with the truth the way the left does with the lies.
The law is clear. Time to enforce it. Arrest those who break the law and charge them.
