Look, I get it, liberals. You don’t like deporting people. At least NOW you don’t. You were fine with it when Barack Obama was putting kids in cages and giving speeches about why deportations were necessary, but then again you were fine with opposing gay marriage when Obama did too, so whatever.
I get that you think that Trump’s tactics are “cruel,” and that you get that thrill down your leg when you get your adrenaline up and feel especially virtuous opposing them. Mass movements have always appealed to the left, and every single issue is framed in your minds as the 1950s and 1960s civil rights movement.
You casually forget the late 60s and 1970s riots, bombings, assassinations, and terrorist attacks across the country, but nostalgia is a powerful amnesiac. For God’s sake, you even seem to have forgotten the riots of 2020, although if you drive through some areas of our major cities, you will still find burned-out areas and can talk to small businessmen and women who lost everything.
But, really, you have lost the plot. Oppose Trump and ICE all you want, but when the mainstream liberals and Democrats start talking about “hunting down” federal law enforcement officers like Nazis, encouraging people to attack them, coordinating with people who are committing felonies, and declaring “war” on the federal government, you have officially gone insane.
Absolutely CHILLING. THIS is the Democrat party, folks.
Here’s George Soros-backed Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner. He publicly declared that Democrats will “hunt down” @ICEgov agents when @realDonaldTrump leaves office:

I get that you are outraged. But one key characteristic that distinguishes an adult from a toddler is the ability to put things in perspective. By this I do not mean that opposing Trump’s policies would be obviously correct if you only saw it as I do; good people can disagree, and plenty of people I know have very different perspectives on the policies here.
No, I mean something more basic: being able to see scale. Do you REALLY believe that ICE and Border Patrol agents are Nazis? Do you know what Nazis did?
Tim Walz spoke of Trump creating another Anne Frank. Really? Or is that a bridge too far?
Anne Frank was targeted and murdered solely because she was Jewish. Leaders making false equivalencies to her experience for political purposes is never acceptable.

There is nothing benign about any of this. There is only one place in America right now where all this violence and chaos is happening because of conflicts between activists and federal agents, and it is right here, where not coincidentally, the rhetoric is hottest. Minnesota represents a small fraction of all the immigration enforcement activity in the country, not that you would know it, and things are going smoothly for the most part elsewhere.
It’s because this is where the left has the money, the resources, and most especially the politicians in place to do a highly organized, coordinated, and well-funded insurgency, and a willing media to push out their propaganda. And it is working, so Democrats around the country are pouring fuel on the flames.

Getting back to perspective. You claim to be outraged that two people—American citizens—have died in confrontations with law enforcement. While there is no definitive number for January 2026 yet, the number of people who typically die in interactions with police in any given year is about 1000-1200, so about 80-100 per month.
As of last week, 24 people were murdered in Chicago. I am willing to bet that 99.999% of Americans have no idea of the circumstances of those deaths, who the people are, whether they were innocents or criminals. But since none of them were anti-Trump protesters, you probably don’t care, either.
Nor, for that matter, do people seem to care about who the people ICE are targeting for arrest. It is true that not everybody arrested is a criminal, but every arrest took place for one of three reasons: 1) they were a violent criminal, because those people are the targets; 2) in looking for the targets, federal agents came across illegal aliens who are subject to deportation, and it is their job to arrest them; or 3) they were assaulting federal agents while carrying out their duties.
If Walz and Frey were cooperating, arrests of categories 2) and 3) would not be taking place. Period. End of story. That is just a fact.
Even knowing these facts—including the relative scale of violence on the streets from other law enforcement activity and basic murders—the only deaths that count are these two activists, apparently, in unfortunate but totally predictable ways. Assault law enforcement and you are at risk.
Now consider one more fact that you probably don’t know: murders dropped 20% in the country last year. That means nearly a THOUSAND lives not lost to murder, at least somewhat due to Trump’s policies. Murders are now at the lowest rate in a century. Undoubtedly, some of that has to do with the flood of law enforcement agents on the streets, including Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in some cities.
Do liberals care? Do they even KNOW? Can they explain how and why the murder rate is, by some measures, the lowest ever recorded in modern history?
No.
It isn’t by putting people in camps or ovens, as one CNN guest said. It is by unleashing the police on criminals. All while thousands of people coordinate in secret chats to stop them from doing their jobs.
🚨 WTF?! CNN just aired a liberal claiming ICE is on the verge of putting people in OVENS to execute them
“I’m not saying they’re putting people in ovens YET!” 🤯
He’s openly inciting violence and CNN does nothing.

Mature people discuss the pros and cons of various policies, evaluate them in the context of all the variables one can think of, and argue out how best to balance goals versus costs.
Perhaps the cost of doing what Trump is trying to do is higher than you like. People disagree.
But to compare this to the Nazis is insane, and to vow to hunt down federal agents like Nazis for decades is appalling.
One more thing, related to the rhetoric: the discussion of masks on agents, which seems to trigger people. When Tim Walz finally agreed to allow the State Patrol to disperse a crowd attacking a hotel at which ICE agents were staying, what did they wear?
Masks. Because they knew they would be targets of violence for the “crime” of dispersing a crowd.
