In a stunning display of anti-law enforcement rhetoric, Representative Angie Craig (D-MN) launched a vicious attack against Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers during Thursday's broadcast of MSNOW's "The Weeknight," claiming ICE agents are deliberately "trying to ratchet things up on the streets" and "want a riot."
The Minnesota Democrat, who is running for U.S. Senate, made the inflammatory comments as President Trump's mass deportation operations begin removing criminal illegal aliens from American communities. Craig disgracefully suggested that ICE officers standing down from their constitutional duties would somehow make Americans "safer."
"They want this to go sideways," Craig claimed about the brave men and women of ICE who risk their lives daily to enforce our immigration laws and protect American families from dangerous criminals.
Democrats Choose Criminals Over Citizens
This is the same tired playbook we've seen from radical Democrats for years – demonize law enforcement while coddling illegal aliens. Craig's outrageous comments come as communities across America are finally getting relief from the Biden administration's open border disaster that allowed millions of unvetted migrants to flood into our country.
While President Trump works to restore order and security to our borders, Democrats like Craig are busy attacking the very agents tasked with removing MS-13 gang members, drug dealers, and other criminal aliens from our neighborhoods. It's absolutely disgraceful.
The only people who want ICE to "stand down" are those who profit from chaos and lawlessness at the expense of hardworking American families.
Patriots across Minnesota and the nation are watching as Democrats reveal their true priorities. Instead of supporting efforts to make communities safer, they're spreading dangerous conspiracy theories about federal law enforcement officers just doing their jobs.
How can any American trust Democrats to keep us safe when they actively undermine the very agencies protecting our homeland? Craig's comments prove once again that the radical left will always choose criminals over citizens, chaos over order, and politics over public safety.
