Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons is taking a hard stand against sanctuary cities protecting criminal illegal immigrants. He vowed to increase enforcement raids in areas refusing to cooperate with federal authorities, calling their resistance dangerous and un-American. “If you don’t want to work with us, we’re going to handle the problem,” Lyons declared, emphasizing public safety over political games.
Some cities panicked and canceled Cinco de Mayo celebrations, falsely claiming ICE would target legal residents. Lyons blasted this as liberal propaganda, stating: “We’re not rounding up people here legally. This false narrative hurts law enforcement.” He reminded Americans that ICE focuses on criminals like the illegal immigrant who killed someone in California after early release.
Sanctuary policies let violent offenders back on streets instead of letting ICE deport them. Lyons described these cities as havens for gang members and repeat offenders. “Every day we see innocent victims because local leaders care more about woke politics than your family’s safety,” he said. ICE’s mission is to remove these threats—not harass hardworking immigrants.
Radical mayors spreading lies about ICE are undermining the rule of law. Lyons compared their rhetoric to accusing soldiers of terrorizing neighborhoods during war. “We’re the good guys chasing murderers and rapists,” he asserted. The media’s fearmongering about routine enforcement shows contempt for border security and national sovereignty.
California’s surprise move to cooperate with ICE proves even blue states recognize the crisis. After public outrage over a criminal’s early release, Governor Newsom started honoring detainer requests. Lyons praised this as a step toward sanity but warned most sanctuary cities still prioritize illegal immigrants over citizens.
ICE needs more funding and agents to tackle the millions of border crossers flooding communities. Lyons stressed that Congress must act fast to support deportation efforts. “We’re doing our job despite obstacles from open borders extremists,” he said. Every day without action puts more American lives at risk.
The Biden administration’s failed policies created this chaos, but President Trump’s team is cleaning it up. Lyons made clear that ICE won’t back down from enforcing immigration laws. “No city is above federal authority,” he stated. Patriots support these efforts to restore order and protect neighborhoods.
It’s time to stand with ICE agents risking their lives to keep us safe. Sanctuary cities shielding criminals betray American values. Lyons’ message is simple: Cooperate or face consequences. Law-abiding citizens deserve leaders who put their security first—not illegal aliens who broke our laws.
