New Jersey's newly sworn-in Democrat Governor Mikie Sherrill launched a disgusting attack on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents Thursday, calling them a "proto-militia that Trump is developing" during her first national interview since taking office.
Sherrill, who took the oath just days after President Trump's inauguration on January 20th, made the inflammatory comments as the Trump administration begins ramping up its promised mass deportation operations across the country. Her remarks represent a shocking insult to the brave federal agents working to enforce our immigration laws and protect American communities.
The Democrat governor's unhinged rhetoric comes as no surprise to patriots who have watched the left's complete meltdown over Trump's return to the White House. Rather than supporting efforts to remove criminal illegal aliens from American streets, Sherrill chooses to demonize the very agents tasked with keeping New Jersey families safe.
"This is exactly the kind of anti-American nonsense we've come to expect from radical Democrats," said one immigration enforcement expert. "These agents are highly trained federal law enforcement officers, not some militia group."
What makes Sherrill's attack even more hypocritical is her background as a former Navy helicopter pilot who supposedly understands the importance of following orders and enforcing the law. Apparently, that patriotic duty only applies when it serves her political agenda.
The timing of her comments couldn't be worse for Democrats already struggling to explain their opposition to removing violent criminals and gang members from American communities. With Trump's deportation machine just getting started, expect more desperate attacks from blue state governors who prioritize illegal aliens over their own citizens.
New Jersey voters should ask themselves: Why is their governor more concerned about protecting the feelings of foreign nationals who broke our laws than supporting the federal agents working to secure our borders? The answer reveals everything you need to know about today's radical Democrat Party.
