The Department of Homeland Security is preparing to deploy
ICE tactical units to five Democratic-led cities in response to the riots in
Los Angeles, where Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, in a clear act of
hypocrisy, appeared to be affected by insisting on one of his biggest lies,
blaming President Donald Trump for contributing to the crisis.
According to MSNBC, the specialized units will be sent to
New York City, Seattle, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Northern Virginia. Four of
these cities are Democratic-led, while Northern Virginia includes Alexandria, a
Democratic stronghold.
The ICE operations have sparked widespread protests,
paralyzing Los Angeles and prompting the mayor to impose a citywide curfew from
8 p.m. to 6 a.m. However, these operations are part of Trump's promised
crackdown on the presence of migrants in the United States without documents,
following four years of "open borders" policies under former
President Joe Biden.
The reports came as the California governor issued a dire
prediction for the rest of the country Tuesday night in a nationally televised
address criticizing Trump's deployment of U.S. troops to Los Angeles to protect
federal property and federal agents, not to perform civilian immigration and
law enforcement functions, which would be a violation of U.S. law.
