EXPOSED: Democrat Senators-Elect Promise to 'Rip ICE Apart' and Abolish Border Enforcement on Day One

The new Democrat class isn't waiting for the ink to dry on their election certificates before revealing exactly what they intend to demolish first. Senator-elect Peggy Flanagan promised to 'rip ICE apart' — her words, not a protest chant — while Troy Jackson stood beside her and swore to 'fight to abolish ICE' outright. Not reform. Not restructure. Abolish.

This wasn't a leaked memo or an anonymous staffer whispering to a reporter. This was on camera, at the Capitol, in their own voices. Flanagan dressed up the demolition as an immigration system 'grounded in public safety for everybody,' then added with a straight face that due process is 'still a part of our Constitution.' The cop speaking as the criminal. She wants to dismantle the federal agency that removes MS-13 members, rescues children from smuggling stash houses, seizes fentanyl at the border, and works with local sheriffs to keep criminal aliens off the streets — and she's selling it as public safety.

Not a Hypothetical: The Revenge Calendar Is Already Stacked

THE RAW FEED walked through the list that Senator Ted Cruz laid out — multiple articles of impeachment against President Trump, subpoenas aimed at his family and cabinet, and a lame-duck motion to impeach Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. This is the governing agenda of the new Democrat majority: treat the Constitution as optional and use every committee chairmanship as a weapon.

Ron DeSantis put the number on the screen: 2033. With a 55-plus Senate majority, if Clarence Thomas, 78, or Sam Alito, 76, leaves the Court, no replacement gets confirmed until after the 2032 election. That's the math. Two justices holding the line with nothing but seniority and nerve while the party that spent four years calling Border Patrol agents jackbooted thugs now controls the confirmation calendar.

"When Peggy Flanagan says 'rip ICE apart,' she is not talking about a few bad apples or internal reform. She is talking about dismantling the entire enforcement arm — the same arm that removes MS-13 members, rescues children from smuggling stash houses, and works with local sheriffs to keep criminal aliens off the street. If you thought 'defund the police' was bad, this is 'defund the border.'"

Jackson's Foreign Policy Blindness Joins the Confession

Troy Jackson didn't stop at ICE. He also promised to end what he called President Trump's 'reckless war in Iran' — as if the mullahs in Tehran are the victims and not the world's leading state sponsor of terror. That's the same foreign policy blindness the new Democrat majority wants to apply to the border: disarm the enforcers, appease the aggressors, and trust that 'dignity and due process' will stop a cartel.

Here is the assignment for the next two years. Every time Peggy Flanagan or Troy Jackson claims to be a moderate, play the tape. Play Flanagan promising to rip ICE apart. Play Jackson promising to abolish it and end President Trump's Iran policy as if the mullahs are the victims. Make them defend those words in every swing district in America, on camera, with the clips rolling.

President Trump has the veto pen and the truth on tape. They have a microphone and a two-year tantrum. The receipts are rolling — and they will follow these two into every competitive district where voters still believe borders matter and terrorists aren't victims.

This is exactly why I voted straight Republican down the ballot last month. If they actually go through with this, our communities are going to pay the price.

Same here. I live 40 minutes from the border and I can tell you nobody down here is celebrating this nonsense.

Do they honestly think voters won't remember this come midterms? Rip ICE apart — that's a campaign promise that writes our ads for us.
