West Virginia just delivered a masterclass in how states should work WITH federal immigration enforcement instead of against it, helping ICE arrest over 650 illegal alien criminals in a stunning display of what real cooperation looks like.
While Democrat governors in sanctuary states like California and New York continue their disgraceful obstruction of President Trump's mass deportation agenda, West Virginia's leadership chose to put American citizens first by forming an active partnership with Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.
The Mountain State's approach stands in stark contrast to the lawless sanctuary policies that have turned cities like Chicago, Denver, and Los Angeles into protection rackets for criminal aliens. Instead of hiding behind virtue-signaling rhetoric about "compassion," West Virginia officials rolled up their sleeves and helped federal agents do their job.
This Is How It's SUPPOSED to Work
This partnership represents exactly what the Trump-Vance administration envisioned when they launched the largest deportation operation in American history. When state and local governments work WITH ICE instead of against them, results happen fast.
Think about it, Patriots – 650 criminal illegal aliens who were potentially preying on West Virginian families are now off the streets. That's 650 fewer drug dealers, gang members, and violent criminals terrorizing American communities because one state had the backbone to do what's right.
"This is what happens when you have leadership that puts Americans first instead of playing politics with public safety," said one ICE official familiar with the operation.
Meanwhile, Democrat-controlled jurisdictions continue to release criminal aliens back onto the streets rather than turn them over to federal authorities. How many more American victims will it take before these sanctuary politicians wake up?
West Virginia's success should serve as a blueprint for every red state in America. When you work with President Trump's deportation teams instead of obstructing them, you protect your citizens and restore the rule of law.
Other governors watching this unfold have a choice: Follow West Virginia's patriotic example, or explain to your voters why you're more concerned about protecting criminal aliens than American families.
