Enough is enough. U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s front-line leaders aren’t going to sit quietly while elected officials pour gasoline on anti-ICE fever and put officers’ lives at risk, and that message was bluntly delivered by CBP leadership on national television. Tough talk from men and women who actually face the violence in the streets isn’t theater — it’s necessary for public safety and common sense in a country that is supposed to respect law and order.
Portland has seen recurring nights of thuggery and direct attacks on a federal ICE facility, with rioters throwing projectiles and attempting to breach federal property while local officials posture and grandstand. Federal officials have repeatedly pointed out that this is not peaceful protest but targeted aggression against federal personnel and facilities that protect Americans from dangerous criminals. The only responsible response from the federal side has been to secure those facilities and to call out local politicians who fan the flames.
Gregory Bovino — the El Centro sector chief who’s become the on-the-ground face of enforcement in Los Angeles and beyond — has been out front enforcing the law and calling out the performative politicians who encourage mobs instead of protecting communities. Bovino’s teams have moved into cities to arrest criminal illegal aliens and to stop the chaotic, destructive behavior that local left-wing leaders either tolerate or excuse. The media can squawk about optics all they want, but the point is simple: someone must enforce the law when cities refuse to do so.
Washington’s elites and Democratic mayors who demonize ICE while their cities crumble should be held accountable for the climate they create; rhetoric matters and it has real-world consequences. When newspapers and politicians falsely paint federal law enforcement as villains, they inspire people to dox, threaten, and even attack officers and their families — a pattern Homeland Security explicitly warned about. It’s past time for political leaders to stop manufacturing crises for votes and start defending the public.
The honest majority of Americans want order, not chaos, and they expect elected officials to stop celebrating lawlessness and start supporting people who keep communities safe. Conservatives should stand with the brave federal agents who enforce immigration laws and arrest dangerous criminals, not with the virtue-signaling politicians who prefer photo ops to public safety. If leaders in Portland and elsewhere want to avoid escalation, they can begin by telling protesters to stand down and by cooperating with law enforcement — that’s not authoritarianism, it’s governance.
Here’s the plain truth for hardworking Americans: we will not surrender our streets to anarchists because some elected official wants to grandstand. Call it courage, call it resolve, call it law and order — whatever label you give it, the country needs leaders who will defend citizens and back the men and women who do the dangerous jobs no one else will. It’s time for politicians to stop making excuses and knock it off.
