UNHINGED: Swalwell Calls ICE 'Fascist,' Demands Agency Be 'DISMANTLED' as Trump Deportations Begin

California Democrat Eric Swalwell completely lost it on CNN this week, launching an unhinged attack on Immigration and Customs Enforcement and demanding the entire agency be "dismantled" as President Trump's mass deportation operation gets underway.

The radical leftist congressman didn't just stop at opposing Trump's immigration policies—he went full authoritarian, declaring that ICE employees should be made "unhirable" in California as punishment for doing their jobs and enforcing federal immigration law.

"If you're going to work for fascists, forget about working in this state... So we're not weak, we have to go on offense," Swalwell ranted during the CNN interview.

Even the CNN anchor appeared taken aback by Swalwell's extreme rhetoric, highlighting just how far off the deep end Democrats have gone in their opposition to basic immigration enforcement.

This is the same Eric Swalwell who was compromised by Chinese spy Fang Fang, yet he has the audacity to call American law enforcement officers "fascists" for doing their constitutional duty to protect our borders and remove illegal aliens.

Swalwell's meltdown comes as the Trump administration prepares to deliver on its promise of the largest deportation operation in American history. Rather than accepting the will of the American people who voted overwhelmingly for secure borders, radical Democrats like Swalwell are doubling down on their pro-illegal alien agenda.

California's War on Law and Order

Swalwell's threats to blacklist federal law enforcement officers represents everything wrong with California's progressive establishment. They're more concerned with protecting criminal illegal aliens than supporting the brave men and women who risk their lives to enforce our immigration laws.

This is what Democrats consider "resistance"—attacking the very agencies tasked with keeping Americans safe while providing sanctuary to those who broke our laws to get here.

Patriots across America are watching as Trump delivers on his promises, but Democrats like Swalwell are making it clear they'll fight tooth and nail to protect their precious illegal alien voting base. The question is: will Americans tolerate this continued obstruction of justice?

Swalwell calling ICE fascist is rich coming from someone who had ties to a Chinese spy. These agents are just doing their job enforcing our immigration laws!

How is enforcing existing federal law fascist? These Democrats throw around that word so much it's lost all meaning. What's fascist is ignoring the rule of law like the previous administration did.

I live near the border and see the chaos firsthand. ICE agents are heroes protecting our communities, not fascists. Swalwell needs to visit a border town before spouting this nonsense.
