Arizona's far-left Attorney General Kris Mayes just delivered a slap in the face to every Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer risking their lives to protect Americans from criminal aliens.

During a recent interview with 12 News, the Democrat attorney general had the audacity to claim that ICE "officers" are not "real law enforcement" - a stunning insult that exposes the anti-law enforcement extremism of today's radical left.

This outrageous statement comes at the worst possible time for Democrats, as President Trump prepares to launch the largest deportation operation in American history. ICE officers will be on the front lines of this critical mission to remove dangerous criminals and illegal aliens from our communities.

Disrespecting Those Who Protect Us

What exactly makes ICE officers not "real" law enforcement, Ms. Mayes? These brave men and women carry badges, make arrests, investigate crimes, and put their lives on the line every single day. They've removed murderers, rapists, drug dealers, and gang members from American streets.

But apparently, that doesn't count as "real" law enforcement in the twisted worldview of Arizona's Democrat establishment.

"This kind of anti-cop rhetoric from a sitting attorney general is absolutely disgraceful and shows how far the Democrat party has fallen," one law enforcement source told reporters.

Mayes' comments reveal the true face of Democrat opposition to President Trump's immigration agenda. They don't just disagree with deportations - they want to delegitimize the very officers who enforce our immigration laws.

Arizona Deserves Better

Patriots in Arizona should remember these insulting words when Mayes comes up for reelection. The Grand Canyon State needs an attorney general who backs the blue and supports all law enforcement - not one who plays partisan politics with public safety.

As Trump's deportation operations ramp up, will Mayes obstruct ICE officers she doesn't consider "real" law enforcement? Arizona families deserve to know where their attorney general stands when criminal aliens threaten their communities.

This is absolutely ridiculous! ICE officers risk their lives every day protecting our borders and enforcing federal immigration law. How dare she diminish their service and sacrifice!

Completely agree. My nephew works for ICE and the disrespect these officers face is unreal.

As someone living in Arizona, I see firsthand what happens when immigration laws aren't enforced properly. ICE officers are absolutely real law enforcement - they're federal agents with arrest powers and everything.

What's her definition of 'real law enforcement' then? These are sworn federal officers enforcing laws passed by Congress. This sounds like political grandstanding to appeal to the far-left base.

Exactly! She's playing politics while our communities deal with the consequences of weak border security.

Unbelievable! We need to support ALL our law enforcement officers, not tear them down for political points.
