It’s almost amusing, were it not so sadly serious, the Democrats stating ICE is out of control and needs reining in, when it’s the Democratic Party’s radical base needing reining in.

When the “summer of love” riots broke out in Minneapolis, Minn., Portland, Ore. and other U.S. cities in 2020 as President Joe Biden never investigated, who was funding the riots. In those cities, blocks of stores and homes, cars and even police precincts were burned to the ground. Yet, the Biden administration prosecuted no one for these atrocious crimes, because it was allegedly the base of the Democratic Party behind the riots, creating pandemonium for the Democratic Party to blame on then-President Trump.

Under the Biden administration, no “summer of love” rioters were prosecuted. The only ones prosecuted were Christians, who prayed outside of abortion clinics, parents who objected to the “woke” nonsense their children were being taught in public schools, etc.

Under the Biden administration’s corrupted FBI, undercover agents were sent into Catholic churches, under the “theory” Catholic ministers were preaching insurrection in their churches.

The major prosecutions during the Biden administration were allegedly attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election, by peacefully protesting at the Capitol in Washington, on Jan. 6.

Despite contrary fake news stories, there was no violence or weapons involved, except in the shooting of Ashley Babbitt by a Capitol Police officer, who shot her in the head, for allegedly breaking a window, inside the Capitol building. Yet, under the Biden administration, hundreds of “insurrectionists” were arrested, denied attorneys or any due process and in lockup for years, for, at most, illegally entering the Capitol building, despite that the Capitol Police nonchalantly waved the peaceful protesters inside.

To Jan. 6 “insurrection was a failed Democratic hoax to keep Donald Trump from being (re) elected president in 2024.

Trump rightfully pardoned the Jan. 6 insurrectionists. They should never have been charged with anything beyond misdemeanor trespassing in the Capitol building.

Many of the current ICE protesters have admitted they are being paid to “protest.” Many of these protesters are the protesters who participated in the 2020 “George Floyd” riots.

Who is paying these “professional” rioters? George Soros-funded groups? The Trump Department of Justice and Congressional committees should investigate this and bring charges against the rioters and their wealthy financial backers.
