Democrats Target Officer for Self-Defense

Rapid Response

Democrats are calling the ICE agent, who acted in  self-defense during an attack perpetrated by a deranged leftist , a "criminal" who should be "arrested" with support from Democrat Leaders Hakeem Jeffries and  Chuck Schumer.

Disgraced Minnesota Governor Tim Walz also issued a warning to send in the National Guard, pitting the them against ICE agents.
 


 

It was less than one year ago that Democrats refused to condemn their far-left base who said they must be " willing to get shot" to obstruct President Trump.

Democrats' history of emboldening the criminals while demonizing law enforcement is deeply disturbing:
