adminOn February 1, 2026, Sen. Ashley Moody appeared on Sunday Night in America and laid out a blunt warning about Democrats’ dangerous approach to immigration enforcement, singling out the party’s rhetoric toward ICE as reckless and politically motivated. Her remarks weren’t just talk-show talking points; they were a clear charge that Democrats are undermining the institutions that keep Americans safe.
What Moody described is exactly what conservative voters have been seeing: a Democratic push to “reimagine” or overhaul ICE that too often disguises an open-border agenda with euphemisms and headline-grabbing theatrics. The left’s shifting language — moving away from “abolish ICE” to softer-sounding reforms — is a political dodge, not a workable policy for securing our nation.
Patriots know that law enforcement should be respected, not demonized, and Moody was right to call out the media and Democrats for treating ICE agents as political villains. When you delegitimize the people whose job it is to remove dangerous criminals and drug traffickers, you invite chaos at the border and suffering for border communities. We should stand with those who enforce our laws and defend our sovereignty.
Senator Moody hasn’t been content to simply criticize; she’s been legislating. Her Expedited Removal of Criminal Aliens Act is a practical, common-sense move to prioritize public safety and restore the rule of law after years of disastrous policy. Republicans must point to concrete bills like Moody’s to show voters that we’re not just angry — we’re acting.
The consequences of soft-on-border policies are real: more drugs, more cartel power, and more victims in American towns. Conservatives should use Moody’s unapologetic defense of enforcement as a rallying cry to remind voters that secure borders are the foundation of national security, economic stability, and community safety. There’s nothing radical about wanting the federal government to do the job it was created to do.
Republicans have to keep pushing back on every attempt to delegitimize law enforcement and weaken border controls, not because it’s partisan but because it’s patriotic. Stand with Sen. Moody and other lawmakers who choose courage over convenience, enforcement over excuses, and results over woke theater. Hardworking Americans deserve leaders who will protect them, and the GOP must deliver.
