Americans are waking up to the truth: the federal government has decided to take the fight to sanctuary cities, and good. After years of lawlessness that turned once-great neighborhoods into magnets for criminal enterprise, ICE and the administration have begun focused operations in places like Boston and Los Angeles to restore order and enforce the law. Local elites can scream about politics, but the rest of the country wants borders and public safety, not sanctuary cover for criminals.
The results of real enforcement speak louder than phony virtue-signaling. Federal officials and experienced enforcement leaders report a dramatic uptick in removals and internal reallocations of resources so ICE can actually do its job, and there are plans to dramatically expand capacity to get this done. Hardworking Americans understand that when you stop rewarding illegal entry, you stop the incentives that fuel cartel profits, human trafficking, and the erosion of our communities.
Of course the left screams and local politicians posture — Los Angeles’ mayor staged a public tantrum over operations in MacArthur Park while crime and misery festered under her watch. Their performance is not about compassion; it’s about protecting a political narrative that excuses lawlessness and blames enforcement for the consequences of failed policy. Patriots know which side we’re on: we stand with officers enforcing the law, not politicians who grant safe harbor to criminals.
Conservative voices on the air are right to demand a smarter fight for the truth. Tom Basile and other America Right Now commentators are urging a shift from reactive chest-beating to transparency and data-driven communication so America can reclaim the narrative and expose what the left hides. If we combine tough, principled enforcement with clear facts and real numbers, we win hearts and minds — and we finally make enforcement politically sustainable.
Let’s be blunt: weakness is what brought us here, and toughness with accountability is what will fix it. Rhetoric that vilifies ICE endangers officers and encourages retaliation by smugglers and gangs; responsible leadership must defend those who defend us and make the case to the public using evidence, not talking points. Americans who work, pay taxes, and obey the law deserve a government that protects them first — it’s time to stand with enforcement, secure our borders, and stop apologizing for defending our country.
