On the recordFebruary 5, 2026
for months--for months--Americans have watched in horror as ICE agents have stopped acting like law enforcement and started terrorizing communities across the country. In cities like Minneapolis, Chicago, Phoenix, and elsewhere, Federal agents have been running around with no identification, barging into homes without warrants, arresting people without due process, using force in ways that violate people's constitutional rights. On two occasions, American citizens were executed in broad daylight. No other police department in America--no city police, no sheriffs, no State police, or until recently, no Federal police--would tolerate this kind of unrestrained barbarity. The American people are reacting. They are appalled. The data shows that, overwhelmingly, even Republicans--non-MAGA Republicans in particular--are really upset about these violations of rights. They look at the pictures on TV, and they say: This is not America. This is not America. Well, Donald Trump is realizing that Americans are turning against him on this issue. And it is not an immigration issue; it is a public safety issue, and the Republicans are on the wrong side of public safety right now.
