ICE Isn’t The Enemy, The Drug Cartels Weaponizing The U.S. Border Are

It is important to make one thing clear to the protesters attacking U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement: ICE is not the enemy, dangerous Mexican drug cartels and the anti-American forces aiding them are.

Last Friday, anti-ICE protestors stormed a facility in Colorado, disrespected our men and women of law enforcement, lowered the American flag, and raised the Mexican flag in an offensive display that left me speechless. I happened to be in Colorado last weekend not far from the facility, so I did what anyone who seeks the truth would do. I went to tour the facility with my own eyes.

Upon arrival Saturday, I received a full tour of the facility.I saw what any American would, which is a law enforcement entity doing its job. I saw a clean facility, equipped with medical supplies, food (three meals per day provided), and even ping pong tables and television sets for entertainment. IPads were available so illegally present foreign citizens could catch up on news from their home countries

It became clear during my visit that ICE is not the enemy. The Colorado protestors, however, are not the only people making those law enforcers out to be evil. Democratic members of Congress have made maligning ICE and Border Patrol a full-time job.
