"...Democrats have spent years vilifying ICE as “fascists,” “the Gestapo,” and “slave patrols,” inciting a 1,000% surge in assaults on agents and a wave of Radical Left terror. Their words aren’t just reckless — they’re a battle cry for violence.

Gov. Tim Walz smeared ICE as the “modern-day Gestapo.”
Gov. Gavin Newsom likened ICE to “secret police,” calling them “authoritarian” and proclaiming a “right to push back.”

Rep. Robin Kelly smeared ICE as the “Gestapo” and a “betrayal.”
Rep. Jasmine Crockett compared ICE to “slave patrols.”

Rep. Sylvia Garcia referred to ICE agents as “thugs.”

Rep. Pramila Jayapal called ICE agents “deranged,” accused them of “kidnapping,” and said “resistance” to ICE is “inspiring.”

Rep. Stephen Lynch smeared ICE agents as “the Gestapo” and “nondescript thugs.”
Rep. Dan Goldman compared federal agents to “secret police” who must be unmasked.

Rep. Becca Balint called ICE agents “vigilantes” who can’t be trusted.
Rep. Ilhan Omar said ICE agents are “vile and beyond cruel,” and that the agency should be abolished.
Rep. Nikki Budzinski called ICE agents “dangerous and reckless.”
Sen. Bernie Sanders asked people to “figure out a way to stop ICE from what they are doing as soon as possible.”
Sen. Elizabeth Warren claimed ICE is “intentionally stok[ing] fear” and “tear[ing] communities apart.”

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries implored people to “fight” the Trump Administration “in the streets” and declared ICE agents “will be unsuccessful” in protecting their identities “no matter what it takes.”
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu compared ICE agents to the neo-Nazi group NSC-131.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson accused ICE of being “secret police” who are “terrorizing our communities.”
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass spread a disgusting, fabricated hoax that ICE “kidnapped” a woman on her way to work.
Rep. Gil Cisneros claimed ICE has “terrorized” people through “racial profiling.”

Rep. Eric Swalwell said it was his “priority” to ensure ICE agents “are no longer faceless,” comparing them to “some 1800s bank robber or some KGB officer in Russia.”
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said ICE “should not exist.”
Rep. Kweisi Mfume challenged the Trump Administration to “a street fight.”
Rep. Jerry Nadler accused ICE agents of “hiding misbehavior because otherwise why would they be wearing masks?”

"... as recently as last week when the DHS did the same thing because people weren’t being deferential enough to the thuggery that makes up ICE’s daily activities.

...of course, everyone on the list is a member of the Democratic Party, ... another indictment of the complete cowardice of the GOP, which also includes supposed “libertarians” like Rand Paul who can’t be bothered to vehemently attack egregious government overreach when it’s Republicans wearing the jackboots.

To read the list is to ask “where’s the lie?” “Modern day Gestapo.” “Secret police.” “Authoritarian.” “Thugs.” “Rogue agency.” “Terrorizing communities.” “Vile and beyond cruel.” “Tearing communities apart.” “Racial profiling.” And so on.

These phrases are enough to get politicians like Tim Walz, Gavin Newsom, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Talib, Hakeem Jeffries, JB Pritzker, and a long list of others added to Trump’s enemies list.

No one here did anything wrong. All they ever did was describe what they were seeing, using the best available analogies.
ICE and Trump haven’t changed their tactics, which strongly suggests both entities actually believe these terms are compliments, but ... still socially aware enough to realize that it would be bad to embrace these descriptions publicly.

Trump says the things said by these people are a “battle cry for violence.” If only that were true...."

IMHO, When Americans go to these websites and read that our words are "a battle cry for violence," they are manipulated to believe that it is Democrats trying to foment civil war, and not this administration itself fomenting war
on Democrats, non-white residents of Democratic cities, and Democratic majority states.

I hold out hope that Gov. Newsom and Gov JB Pritzker -- two "enemies" named above -- will hold a joint press conference to
a) reveal to Americans what this official executive branch propaganda is attempting to do, and
b) defend the history and accomplishments of the Democratic Party to the American people.
