Protest lawfully! Protest with resistance to Federal Law Enforcement - is an absolute example of stupidity! Pay the price!

 

ICE protests and riots: Rallying to aid and abet evil

What is becoming of this country?

Eric Utter | January 13, 2026 www.americanthinker.com

Riots are taking place across the country in support of a person who was an inveterate obstructor of law enforcement and a Trump hater.

Just as massive and violent riots took place after George Floyd, a career criminal, druggie, ne’er-do-well, and thug died in police custody several years ago after attempting to use a counterfeit bill to purchase a pack of cigarettes.

Yet there were no massive protests after 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee, was murdered by a career offender while riding in a light rail car in Charlotte, North Carolina. The assailant, Decarlos Brown, had previously been arrested — and released — 14 times.

Zarutska, who “loved America” according to her family, worked at a pizza restaurant and a senior center, and took care of animals in the neighborhood.

Maybe if she wasn’t white, and had an extensive criminal record, many would have protested her death. In fact, I’m certain they would have. It’s too bad America didn’t love her back.

But this has become a pattern in the U.S.

Law enforcement is reviled and attacked, while criminals are given “sanctuary,” and are released with little or no time served if they are ever apprehended. And then, if they accost and threaten law enforcement officers and are subsequently killed, they are treated as beloved martyrs, heroic symbols of “resistance” against the white patriarchy, capitalism, fascism, and xenophobia.

But it gets worse than that.

Competence, personal discipline, success, manners, hygiene, intelligence, logic, the traditional family and traditional mores -- and what used to be considered simple human decency are all mocked, libeled, and slandered as tools of “white supremacy.” Mostly by white people, especially the truly awful “AWFULs.”

Enter pop star Zara Larsson, a Swedish national, who recently used social media, in the form of an Instagram post, to state: “I love immigrants. I love criminals. I love trans people. I love abortions. I love queers. I love slutty women. I love contraception. I love welfare. I love socialism. I f****** hate ICE”

Larsson is a multi-platinum recording artist who boasts nearly 10 million Instagram followers. And she loves everything that destroys individual lives in specific and society in general. There isn’t a better definition of evil than that.

So this sickness afflicts the West in general, though that doesn't make it any easier to watch what has been happening to the (formerly) United States.

So it happens that if a mountain lion attacks a human, more “GoFundMe” money is pledged to the mountain lion than the human, a Christian priest is punished for reciting Bible passages while Muslim call to prayers ring out five times a day in several of our major cities, abortion is called “women’s health care,” people are arrested for silently praying outside of “women’s health care” centers, and Somali Learing Centers dot the landscape. You can’t misgender kids, but you must be in favor of mutilating or removing their genitalia.

All prior knowledge, wisdom, lived experience, and traditions are wrong. Sloth, crime, entitlement, bitterness, anti-racism racism, lies, and big government are good, everything that has heretofore been considered good is bad. This is, in effect, what so many people across the West are saying and why they are rioting. Choosing crime and chaos over decency-- and overtly choosing evil over good is sick. It is tragic. And it is an immediate and existential danger to our republic and others.

Forget NATO. The fate of Western nations — and indeed the world -- hinges on this battle between good and evil. A battle that is currently being fought almost entirely by one side.

Pray for our deliverance, as only the Lord GOD can save us if we refuse to save ourselves.

 

Protest peacefully - yes but when you restrict Federal Law Enforcement performing its Constitutional duties - you are a law breaker!

 

Dispersing illegal ICE protesters

Peacefully protesting and airing grievances is in American DNA, so too is respecting law enforcement in a law-abiding country.

Noel S. Williams | January 14, 2026 www.americanthinker.com

Peacefully protesting and airing grievances is in American DNA, so too is respecting law enforcement in a law-abiding country. Many ICE protesters do neither.

By all means, protest peacefully, including obtaining the necessary permits to march down Main Street. However, ICE protesters who interfere in law enforcement operations are not above the law. Perhaps we need more creative ways to deal with those who cross the thin blue line, literally.

At that point they have become insurrectionist militants who insinuate themselves into constitutionally legitimate ICE operations; fomenting chaos, they no longer deserve the moniker of conscientious protester. They no longer deserve to be mollycoddled by protections provided by the country they despise. They need to be dispersed indignantly (at a minimum).

Goldfinger is a classic James Bond flick from the early 1960s. There’s a rip-roaring scene wherein would-be Fort Knox robbers disperse gas canisters to put the guarding soldiers to sleep. One wishes such techniques could be deployed against the anti-ICE militants -- put them out of their misery, at least temporarily, while we legitimately seize illegal-illegal aliens (i.e., those who commit crimes while here illegally).

What about an ear-piercing sonic boom? Sonic weapons were very effective in rendering narco-terrorist Nicolás Maduro’s guards useless when our elite military men nabbed him. Exposing them to the sonic boom would surely shut up those hysterical leftist women with their obnoxious bullhorns. Let’s see how “brave” the little women really are when not being pampered by patient and indulgent agents.

Presuming secrecy has already been compromised, and ungodly obstructionist noise reverberates all over, here’s another potential method to disperse the illegal alien-loving, American-hating, militants: blare out some patriotic tunes.

Have you ever been stuck in an elevator that plays unwelcome music, like the song “Feelings” (which should never have seen the light of day)? It’s torture! Well, imagine how quickly the anti-ICE cockroaches would scamper away if some of these tunes were put on shuffle mode: ”God Bless the USA,” “America the Beautiful,” “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee,” etc. For those who dare remain in ICE’s presence, then crank up “YMCA.” For the pièce de résistance, there’s always the bouncy rap song “Ice Ice Baby.” That’d sure drown out their ghastly screams and honking as our agents apprehend aliens who are doubly illegal.

Thanks to the brave men and woman of ICE. Now is the time to up the ante, and that includes intolerance of anti-American militants who eagerly avail themselves of American values, despite detesting us. Their interfering methods constitute unlawful aiding and abetting (even insurrectionist) protests. Those who can’t be dispersed should be given due process… as they are removed from civil society. After all, they are uncivil in the extreme, and don’t deserve America’s beneficence.

Next up: The Soros clan. Both the gnarly, grotesque Dad (who should focus on his homeland’s problems, rather than the country that afforded him wealth), and his weak son who succumbed to the dark side. What are they even doing here if they hate us so much? Talk about “the enemy within.” Give Soros and his henchmen the “Goldfinger”: “No, Mr. Soros, I expect you to… [leave]” Few deserve sleeping gas more, or even a resounding, incapacitating sonic boom to put the fear of God into them.

 

Of course 'sanctuary cities and states will complain because the Federal government will withhold federal funds because of their illicit, illegal actions. Money talks!

 

Trump says he will cut federal funds to sanctuary cities and states — beginning in 3 weeks

Carlos Garcia January 13, 2026 theblaze.com

His previous efforts to cut federal funds were thwarted in court.

President Donald Trump said that he would seek to end federal funds to sanctuary cities and those states that have sanctuary cities by the beginning of February.

Trump made the comments during an address at the Detroit Economic Club, where he also advocated cutting credit card interest rates to a maximum of 10%.

'It breeds fraud and crime and all of the other problems that come, so we're not making any payment to anybody that supports sanctuary cities.'

"Starting February 1, we are not making any payments to sanctuary cities or states having sanctuary cities because they do everything possible to protect criminals at the expense of American citizens," the president said.

"It breeds fraud and crime and all of the other problems that come, so we’re not making any payment to anybody that supports sanctuary cities," he added.

When asked to elaborate on the decision, he offered no further details.

"You'll see," Trump said. "It'll be significant."

The Department of Justice had previously identified 11 states they considered to be sanctuary states that included California, New York, and Connecticut.

Trump has tried to cut federal funds twice before but was blocked by judges' rulings in both instances. In early January, he tried to cut $10 billion from child-care services but was blocked by a New York judge. In October, he cut almost $8 billion of funding from states that voted for Kamala Harris, but that effort was blocked by a Washington, D.C., judge.

He also touted his record on the economy during the speech.

"Growth is exploding, productivity is soaring, investment is booming, incomes are rising. Inflation is defeated," Trump said.

New York Immigration Coalition president Murad Awawdeh released a statement condemning the president's decision against sanctuary cities.

"Punishing states and cities that refuse to participate in the federal government's inhumane and cruel attacks on immigrants is simply a playground bullying tactic. New York's hardworking families, children, and elderly will pay the price if Trump gets his way," Awawdeh wrote.

"Federal funding belongs to us all, as part of our government's responsibility to ensure needs like healthcare, education, infrastructure, and public safety are met," he added. "We expect New York City and other sanctuary jurisdictions to call this bully's bluff by litigating this egregious violation of our City and State's 10th Amendment rights and the federal government's responsibility to provide essential services to all counties, cities and states."

 

Immigration - specifically illegal immigration - will be the 'straw that brakes the back' of our once great Republic.

 

Obama judge disrupts Trump administration's plans again: Talwani pauses efforts to end mass parole for 10,000+ migrants

Joseph MacKinnon January 12, 2026 theblaze.com

The same Obama judge's previous injunction in the case was thrown out by the Supreme Court in May.

U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, the Massachusetts-based Obama judge who blocked the Trump administration from cutting federal funds to Planned Parenthood last month, issued a temporary restraining order on Saturday preventing the Department of Homeland Security from revoking the legal status of tens of thousands of foreigners.

The Trump administration announced last month that it was terminating all categorical family reunification parole programs and corresponding work authorization for aliens from Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, and Honduras as well as for their immediate family members, effective Dec. 15.

Per the announcement, the "temporary parole period of aliens who have been paroled into the United States under the FRP programs, and whose initial period of parole has not already expired by January 14, 2026 will terminate on that date."

'We aren't in the clear.'

There are two circumstances under which foreign nationals' parole status would not immediately be revoked: if they have pending applications to register permanent residence or adjust status, or if DHS Secretary Kristi Noem determines otherwise on a case-by-case basis.

The DHS indicated that those set to be stripped of status — well over 10,000 noncitizens — who stay in the U.S. beyond their parole termination date with no lawful basis to remain would likely be removed.

According to the notice in the Federal Register, the FRP programs failed to achieve the goals set by past administrations and are at odds with President Donald Trump's current priorities and foreign policy objectives.

Not only did the programs fail to sufficiently discourage or reduce unlawful migration, the programs "increased administrative strain across multiple [U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services] directorates and [Customs and Border Protection] ports of entry," said the notice.

"The desire to reunite families does not overcome the government's responsibility to prevent fraud and abuse and to uphold national security and public safety," the DHS said in a release.

"The FRP programs had security gaps caused by insufficient vetting that malicious and fraudulent actors could exploit to enter the United States, which posed an unacceptable level of risk to the United States," continued the release. "DHS is prioritizing the safety, security, and financial and economic well-being of Americans."

The Trump administration touted the move as a "necessary return to common-sense policies" and a matter of "prioritizing the safety, security, and financial and economic well-being of Americans."

On Dec. 29, plaintiffs in the class-action case Svitlana Doe v. Noem — represented by the liberal migrant advocacy groups Justice Action Center and Human Rights First — requested a restraining order and a preliminary injunction, claiming the DHS "fell well short of satisfying their most basic obligations under the [Administrative Procedures Act], due process, the parole statute, and its own regulations."

The plaintiffs' primary contention in the emergency motion appears to have been that the DHS allegedly failed to properly notify the so-called "future green card holders" of the programs' termination.

The government argued in response that the court lacked jurisdiction over claims challenging parole termination; that the termination of parole wasn't arbitrary and capricious as alleged; that Noem was within her statutory authority to make the change; and that the notice given complied with the law.

Indira Talwani, the daughter of immigrants from India and Germany, gave the migrant activists exactly what they wanted — a 14-day stay of the administration's termination of FRP grants of parole — and certified a new subclass of migrants, namely those FRP beneficiaries whose parole was terminated.

While the government previously indicated that individual notice would be provided to each parolee through their USCIS online accounts, Talwani expressed doubt about whether the parolees were ultimately provided with written notice of the termination and claimed that the publication of the announcement in the Federal Register "does not satisfy this requirement."

"The court finds that Plaintiffs have a substantial likelihood of success on their argument that the Defendants failed to provide proper notice of DHS's decision to revoke grants of parole under the FRP program in contravention of DHS’s own regulation, the Administrative Procedure Act ... and the Due Process Clause of the United States Constitution," wrote the Obama judge.

Karen Tumlin, director of Justice Action Center, celebrated Talwani's ruling, stating, "We join families across the country in breathing a huge sigh of relief. While we aren't in the clear, this immediate pause on de-legalizing individuals who came here with Family Reunification Parole means that people will not be forced to separate from their loved ones next week."

Tumlin added that it's "cruel and completely unnecessary for the Trump administration to try to yank the rug out from under them."

The White House did not respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.

DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement to Blaze News, "Yet another lawless and activist order from a federal judge who continually desires to usurp President Trump’s authority to determine who can enter and remain in this country. Family reunification parole was a failed Biden-era policy, subject to shocking abuse."

"The safety of our nation comes before reunifying illegal alien families," said McLaughlin. "Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, we will safeguard this nation and end any exploitation of our nation’s immigration laws. We expect a higher court to vindicate us."

Despite drawing out the process, Talwani has acknowledged that the Trump administration can end the program.

The Supreme Court lifted her previous injunction in Svitlana Doe v. Noem on May 30, clearing the DHS to proceed with terminating humanitarian parole.

 

The current Trump Administration is working on all fronts to un-do the lawless unconstitutional immigration policies of the previous administration.

 

'We will deport these thugs': Rubio's State Department revokes 100,000+ visas in 2025, putting Biden's numbers to shame

Candace Hathaway January 12, 2026 theblaze.com

Trump's 2025 visa revocations more than double Biden's 2024 numbers.

The Trump administration has intensified its efforts to enhance vetting of foreign nationals entering the U.S., resulting in a record number of visa revocations.

The Department of State announced that in 2025, it revoked over 100,000 foreign visas, including 8,000 student visas and 2,500 specialized worker visas. That figure is more than double the number of visas that were revoked in 2024 — 40,000 — under former President Joe Biden's leadership.

'The Trump administration will continue to put America first and protect our nation from foreign nationals who pose a risk to public safety or national security.'

Foreign nationals whose visas were canceled included those who had encounters with U.S. law enforcement for criminal activity, the State Department reported.

"We will continue to deport these thugs to keep America safe," the department stated.

The majority of those revoked by the State Department were for business and tourist travelers who overstayed their visas, Fox News Digital reported.

Some students and specialized workers who had their visas revoked also reportedly lost their legal status.

Half of the specialized workers whose visas were revoked had previously been arrested for drunk driving; 30% for assault, battery, or confinement charges; and 20% for theft, child abuse, substance abuse and distribution, and fraud and embezzlement charges.

A department spokesperson told Fox News Digital that nearly 500 students lost their visas for charges related to drug possession and distribution.

The State Department announced in August plans to review all of the more than 55 million current visa holders to uncover potential ineligibility, such as overstays, criminal activity, public safety threats, and ties to terrorism.

"The Trump administration will continue to put America first and protect our nation from foreign nationals who pose a risk to public safety or national security," State Department principal deputy spokesperson Tommy Piggott told Fox News Digital.

During a press conference last month, Secretary of State Marco Rubio addressed the administration's increased efforts to revoke and deport foreign nationals.

"Who you allow to visit your country should reflect the national interest. We said that from the very beginning," Rubio told reporters.

"There are some times we'll deny people visas because of activities they've undertaken overseas," he continued. "Other times it's people that have visas but are in the United States doing things that run counter to our national interests. And the law gives us the right — and, in fact, I would argue, the obligation — to remove people like that from our country."
