UNHINGED: Radical Democrat Senator REFUSES to Fund ICE, Calls Trump's Immigration Enforcement 'ILLEGAL'

Just weeks into President Trump's second term, radical Democrats are already showing their true colors when it comes to protecting American citizens. Senator Tina Smith (D-MN) brazenly declared on MSNBC that she refuses to vote for funding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), absurdly claiming their actions are "illegal."

Speaking on "The Weeknight," Smith demonstrated exactly why voters rejected the Democrat Party's open-border agenda in November. While President Trump works to fulfill his mandate to secure our borders and deport criminal illegal aliens, Smith and her fellow radical Democrats are actively working to sabotage these efforts.

This isn't just political grandstanding—it's a direct attack on the rule of law and American sovereignty. ICE agents risk their lives daily to remove dangerous criminals who have no right to be in our country, yet Smith has the audacity to call their work "illegal."

The Real Agenda Exposed

Smith's comments reveal the true Democrat strategy: obstruct Trump's America First agenda at every turn, even if it means putting American families at risk. By refusing to fund ICE, Democrats are essentially rolling out the red carpet for drug cartels, human traffickers, and violent criminals.

"I can't vote to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement when their actions are illegal," Smith declared, apparently believing she knows better than federal law enforcement agencies.

This is the same mentality that gave us the Biden border crisis—four years of chaos that saw millions of illegal aliens flood across our border while Democrats looked the other way. Now that Trump is back in office and serious about enforcement, suddenly Democrats discover they have "concerns" about immigration law.

Patriots across Minnesota and America should remember this moment. While Trump fights to make America safe again, his own senator is actively working against the safety of her constituents. Smith's radical stance proves that when it comes to choosing between illegal aliens and American citizens, Democrats will pick illegals every single time.

The question voters need to ask: If Democrats won't even fund basic immigration enforcement, what else are they willing to sacrifice for their radical open-border ideology?

This is exactly why we need to vote these radical Democrats out of office! How can they call enforcing our immigration laws 'illegal' when it's literally what ICE was created to do?

Completely agree! The hypocrisy is off the charts.

I live 20 miles from the border and see the chaos firsthand. ICE agents are heroes doing a thankless job, and this senator wants to defund them? Absolutely unhinged is right.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. People who don't live near the border just don't understand what's really happening.

Immigration enforcement has been federal law for decades under both Republican and Democrat presidents. Since when did following established law become 'illegal'? The mental gymnastics these politicians do is incredible.

My son works for ICE and the morale is already low enough with all the political attacks. Now they want to cut funding too? These agents risk their lives protecting our country.
