The entire left in this country is having a meltdown over ICE agents enforcing our immigration laws.
Attacks against ICE have gone up a reported 500%, but that might go even higher after CNN promoted a new app called ICEBlock.
Needless to say, the White House was not happy with CNN after its report aired.
CNN recently ran a story on a new app created by Joshua Aaron called ICEBlock.
The app reports ICE sightings in real-time to let residents know when ICE is in their area.
Aaron explained, “When I saw what was happening in this country, I wanted to do something to fight back. We’re literally watching history repeat itself.”
He has clearly bought into the rhetoric from Democrats, comparing the actions of ICE to those of the Nazi regime in Germany.
Acting ICE Director Todd M. Lyons was not pleased that CNN decided to air this segment, blasting the network after the new app was featured.
He stated, “CNN’s promotion of an ‘ICE spotting’ app is reckless and irresponsible. Advertising an app that basically paints a target on federal law enforcement officers’ backs is sickening."
Lyons continued, “My officers and agents are already facing a 500% increase in assaults, and going on live television to announce an app that lets anyone zero in on their locations is like inviting violence against them with a national megaphone."
He concluded, “CNN is willfully endangering the lives of officers who put their lives on the line every day and enabling dangerous criminal aliens to evade U.S. law. Is this simply reckless 'journalism' or overt activism?"
As one would expect, the White House was livid over the report, with White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stating, “Surely, it sounds like this would be an incitement of further violence against our ICE officers."
Leavitt continued, “As you know, as you stated, there’s been a 500% increase in violence against ICE agents, law enforcement officers across the country who are just simply trying to do their jobs and remove public safety threats from our communities.”
Let me be clear... the people that ICE is trying to apprehend are criminals because they entered this country illegally. Contrary to what Democrats and the mainstream media are saying, that is a crime. These men and women are doing their job, and they are literally being called Nazis for it.
With assaults on officers rising so dramatically, it is only a matter of time before agents walk into a trap and we see loss of life. If Democrats were smart, they would work on a compromise right now because if they don’t, and an ICE agent gets killed, it will be game over in terms of ever hoping to have Trump ease up on illegal immigrants in this country. An act such as that could easily be interpreted as an act of war against these agents, and Trump would use every trick in the book to apprehend and remove every illegal immigrant in this country.
