Dems Assail ICE Detaining 5-Year Old
Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn) assailed ICE for detaining a 5-year-old child, saying "Minnesotans want safety. They want freedom. They want what's best for our kids. Masked agents snatching preschoolers off the street and sending them to Texas detention centers serves none of those purposes."
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn) echoed Walz, claiming "the detention of a child proves that ICE's assertion they are seeking the worst of the worst immigrants is a lie."
Former Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, fresh from being held in contempt by a bipartisan vote in the US House of Representatives Oversight and Government Reform Committee for refusing to testify about Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking of under-age girls, criticized ICE, asserting that "enforcing the law is one thing. Terrorizing a population, using children as pawns, is another."
White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson condemned "this fake narrative. ICE officers had an arrest warrant for Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias, an illegal alien from Ecuador and the little boy's father. When they approached their target, he ran away leaving his son behind. One officer stayed with the child while the others pursued his father. The child's mother refused to accept custody of her son. When his father was caught he insisted that his son accompany him to detention in Texas while they awaited deportation."
Walz argued that "this whole incident could've been avoided if ICE hadn't invaded our sanctuary state. We don't know or care why ICE wants to deport him. We just want to be left alone to resume the mutual forgive and forget approach that has allowed the strong and prosperous interaction between our state and our immigrants to thrive under my administration. Many Somalis established successful daycare businesses. Eighty percent of Somali immigrants in our state have successfully acquired federal welfare benefits. These successes are all in danger of being lost unless ICE is driven out of our state."
Jackson pointed out that "Walz's 'strong and prosperous interaction' with illegal immigrants is currently under investigation for widespread fraud. Billions of dollars have been stolen during this interaction. Walz may end up wishing he was eligible for deportation instead of going to prison."
In related news, the US House passed a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill 220 for (including seven Democrats) to 207 opposed (including one Republican). House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) boasted "we allowed some of our vulnerable members to appear to be normal by agreeing to fund ICE so they can be reelected to their seats. I'm confident that our colleagues in the Senate will filibuster this legislation and leave DHS unfunded unless money for ICE enforcement is taken out of it. If the filibuster isn't broken DHS will be the only Department left out of the budget. Ending ICE enforcement would be the Trump Administration's only sensible option."
Somali Fraud Discovered in Maine
A reporter from NewsNation went to Maine and discovered that the favored Somali scam in that state is federally subsidized healthcare. "In one building I visited there were ten Somali healthcare offices," the reporter said. "However, no one recalls ever seeing any patients there. The landlord says 'the only time I see anybody is when they pay the monthly rent. When I asked one of them how's business, he said there's more than one teat on the federal subsidy camel.'" This report inspired ICE to schedule an enforcement raid.
Gov. Janet Mills (D) called the raid "unwelcome. I have advised our immigrants to shelter in place until the ICE presence has abated. There's no need for anyone to venture out where they can easily be apprehended by federal officers. We have also enacted legislation aimed at deterring federal law enforcement activities in our state. We have paused the issuing of undercover license plates to federal officers. This will make it easier for protesters to identify the vehicles they want to block or vandalize and make it harder for ICE to accomplish their their mission to arrest and deport people who they say are the worst of the worst illegal immigrants."
Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said "the Governor's stance is not in the best interest of her state's citizens. Fraud robs every taxpayer. Funds that were budgeted to help those in need have been diverted to scammers. Crime rates for illegal immigrants are higher than for citizens or legal immigrants. Having ICE assist by removing these foreign criminals benefits all law-abiding individuals. President Trump has called for an accounting of the federal funds being distributed to the states in order to guard against these funds being wasted or stolen. It makes no sense for states to oppose this. Yet, a number of states are suing to try to evade accounting for how they spend this federal aid."
In related news, State Del. Jessica Anderson (D-Va) has introduced a bill that would prohibit state employees from verifying a nonprofit's eligibility to provide and receive federal taxpayer benefits. She explained that "receiving federal money is a state's unalienable right. We should be free to spend it however we choose and not be boxed in by any federal strings attached. Nonprofits should not be insulted by any prying into how they use the money we award to them. They're charitable organizations for God's sake. If we can't trust them who can we trust?"
More "Most Wanted Fugitives" Captured Under Trump
FBI Director Kash Patel announced that "the FBI has captured more of this country's 'most wanted fugitives' in the last year than were captured during the whole four years Biden was president."
Christopher Wray, the FBI Director appointed by President Trump and retained by President Biden until the end of his presidency, called Patel's comparison "unfair. We could've easily racked up many more arrests of the most wanted over the four years Biden held the office, but we were given different priorities. President Biden made it clear that our top priority was to go after what was then the former President Trump. Resources that are available to Patel were deployed to different priorities under Biden. His head count of crooks brought to justice may impress largely ignorant American voters, but our job to put Trump behind bars was the harder challenge."
"Trump is more dangerous and wily than the handful average murderers and lowlifes Patel has corralled," Wray contended. "Our multiple prosecutions of Trump should have done the job and would have if it hadn't been for the noncompliant judges Trump had appointed during his first term. Their rulings against us gave Trump sufficient time to persuade voters to reelect him to a second term. This broke our momentum. Now that Democrats and the media are establishing a firmer grip on the narrative that Trump is the worst person in the world, I hope to see Democrats retake the majority in Congress and relaunch a second relentless campaign of obstruction, vilification, and impeachment that will finally put Trump in prison."
Patel characterized Wray's views as "obscenely misguided. President Trump's directive for the FBI to pursue the monsters that make it onto the most wanted list is clearly the saner use of federal law enforcement assets. In just the last year the per capita murder rate in America has fallen to its lowest rate since 1900. Criminals know that he means business and that the careless leniency of progressive attitudes toward letting repeat offenders walk the streets is coming to an end. I would have to say that this trend is what voters wanted when they gave Trump a second term."
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) predicted that "Mr. Patel will find out that he is wrong. Later this year voters will realize the mistake they made by electing Trump and return Democrat majorities to Congress. Enough states have blocked voter IDs to ensure this. We will then repeal everything Trump has done and block any new initiatives he may attempt. The clock will be turned back and the world will be as it was before Trump ever entered politics."
In related news, the Democrat meme that "Trump is literally Hitler" was undermined when Hitler admirer Nick Fuentes said "my problem with Trump isn't that he's Hitler. My problem with Trump is that he is not Hitler. Hitler was very f–king cool. Trump is not. In fact, he is currently considering granting asylum to Jews from the United Kingdom just because the Starmer regime is siding with the Muslims who want to exterminate them."
Danish Rule Over Greenland Has Its Dark Side
The notion that Greenland's population likes being governed by Denmark may not be correct. Native Greenlander Amarok Petersen was 27 years old when she learned that the reason she cannot have children. Danish doctors had implanted an IUD birth control device in her body it when she was 13 as part of a population control program for thousands of native Greenlandic girls and women. "I will never have children," Petersen complained. "That choice was taken from me."
Prime Minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen, impatiently pointed out, "we have already officially apologized for the decades of forced sterilization of indigenous women and girls. We have to pay a billion dollars each year to support this largely useless population cohort. I mean, it's not as if they're really Danes or self-supporting. A smaller population would be less of a burden to us."
"If we are such a burden to Denmark they ought to just let us be our own country," Petersen said. "For thousands of years before Denmark said they own the land we live on we survived harvesting sea life. Now, the government pays us low wages for this work, hauls the seafood away for processing elsewhere, and doesn't reinvest the profits in building up local businesses."
"Now that US President Trump has taken an interest in our land all the talk and negotiating is between Trump and Frederiksen," Petersen observed. "What does Trump want? How much will he pay? We aren't included in the discussions. The Danes claim to speak for us, but they never ask us what we want."
Apprised of Ms Petersen's thoughts, President Trump admitted "maybe my focus on the Danes is overlooking a potentially better option. If the natives could make their own declaration of independence like we did in 1776 and then asked for our help we could assist them like France assisted us during our revolutionary war. It could be a win-win for both the natives and America and the start of a beautiful new friendship."
In related news, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is said to be considering a preemptive insertion of several dozen troops into Greenland "to deter the Americans from invading. Historically, our country has repelled two American invasions. One in 1776 and one in 1812. We are 2-0 vs. the Americans when it comes to winning wars. Deterring an American attempt to invade Greenland could leave the island ours for the taking. This might also help ease the pain of Alberta voting to leave the Canadian confederation later this year."
