Democrats have once again ignited outrage with loud, performative attacks on Immigration and Customs Enforcement, calling to abolish or neuter a federal agency that exists to keep Americans safe. Former Acting DHS head Chad Wolf pushed back on national television, reminding viewers that enforcement of immigration law is not an optional political stunt but a statutory duty that keeps criminal aliens off our streets.
The calls to “abolish ICE” have come from prominent Democrats for years, from senators to city mayors, and their rhetoric has only grown more extreme as elections approach. That movement isn’t abstract; it has real-world consequences, encouraging mobs and empowering sanctuary policies that hamstring federal agents trying to do their jobs.
Make no mistake: ICE’s mission is broad and vital — arresting and removing criminal aliens, dismantling human trafficking networks, and enforcing immigration statutes passed by Congress. Chad Wolf and other officials have repeatedly explained that ICE prioritizes criminals and threats to public safety, not law-abiding families, and that dismantling the agency would surrender control of our borders and neighborhoods.
When Democrats wag a finger and demand agencies be abolished, they’re asking the executive branch to ignore the law and Congress’s mandates; Wolf pushed back bluntly, saying critics should “take a look at the law” before slinging accusations. Conservatives should applaud that insistence on legality — you don’t fix bad policy by gutting the institutions that enforce the law, you fix it in Congress and the courts.
History proves the point: permissive policies and memos that treat illegal entry as a low priority lead to surges at the border and chaos in the interior, as Wolf noted when warning that lax enforcement produces crisis conditions. If Democrats succeed in weakening ICE, the result will be fewer removals of dangerous repeat offenders and more victims in American communities — exactly the opposite of their professed goals.
Patriots who love lawful immigration and safety should demand lawmakers stop the virtue signaling and start legislating. If Congress wants different priorities or better oversight, it can amend statutes, fund reforms, or set new parameters — but it must not tie the hands of officers who run toward danger while politicians tweet from safe D.C. studios.
The choice is simple: defend the rule of law and the brave men and women who enforce it, or surrender our borders and communities to chaos under the banner of trendy slogans. Conservatives will continue to stand with ICE officers and call out the hollow, harmful rhetoric of those who would trade American safety for political theater.
