Hayden Daniel writes for the Federalist about one of the latest bad ideas from the political left.
The left has tried to put Donald Trump in prison for the last decade. So far, they have not succeeded, but it’s not for a lack of trying. They’ve used every dirty trick in the book to try to eliminate their most hated political opponent. It seems like every day we find out new disturbing details about the left’s various plots to discredit and jail the president of the United States.
In Trump 2.0, they’ve become even more desperate, and they no longer limit themselves to hounding the president and his closest associates. Now, anyone who supports the president or carries out orders he issues as the lawful chief executive could find himself a target for left-wing vengeance and reprisal.
And that’s exactly what billionaire Tom Steyer, the current lead Democrat candidate for the governorship of California, the nation’s largest state, plans to do to ICE agents who dutifully carry out our nation’s immigration laws if he wins. Steyer presents his plan in no uncertain moral terms: ICE is evil because it carries out its duty, and its agents must be given no legal quarter in California.
“I’ve made it clear: ICE must be abolished. ICE is acting like a criminal organization, carrying out indiscriminate racial profiling and using violence, intimidation, terrorism, and the murder of Americans to extend Trump’s rule by fear,” he posted April 14 on X.
And he’s not talking about just protesting and refusing to cooperate with federal agents; he wants to create a full anti-ICE apparatus in the state, which contains millions of illegal aliens. He plans to push through radical legislation that would hamstring ICE from being able to identify and locate illegal aliens for removal and create a task force under the command of the attorney general (which will almost certainly be the incumbent, far-left partisan Rob Bonta) to badger ICE in the state. He even intends to work to bring back illegal aliens who have already been deported by the Trump administration.
