One of the most befuddling and truly irritating things about all the theatrics surrounding the ICE enforcement brouhaha has been the levels of self-delusion that the Left is willing to indulge in in order to perpetuate the hysteria.
These lunatics have suspended time and reality in their demented and twisted brain housing groups.
An incident can happen, and be filmed without any alteration, then shown right in front of them, and they will immediately devise a different scenario than the one on screen out of whole cloth, as if it were some avant-garde ad-lib theater exercise.
Take, for instance, this episode (below) I watched just a second ago.
A protester has stationed themselves with their ubiquitous cell phone camera shield of steel directly against the front grill of an ICE vehicle. You can see there is a driver behind the wheel.
An agent forcibly removes the protester from the vehicle’s pathway with a good shove.
The vehicle begins to move the second the protester’s skinny frame is out of its path.
All that adds up to ‘the protester was, in fact, blocking the ICE vehicle,’ right?
Not in their world.
HE WASN’T OBSTRUCTING ANYTHING
An ICE agent in Minneapolis shoved a man to the ground for filming their vehicle. He wasn’t obstructing anything. Courts have ruled recording law enforcement is legal. Assaulting a civilian for doing it likely isn’t.pic.twitter.com/lcVcxy93cR

Rational people survey says: he certainly was until he wasn’t.
Kind of does since the second he tumbles gracefully away, darned if the car doesn’t move.
Hmmm. Leads one to believe he was BLOCKING THE CAR.

Delusional. Oh, the mean ICE agent bounced the bum on his tuchus!
No, the mean ICE agent probably saved him from being a motor vehicle accident victim, if you want to look at it that way.
The ‘I NEVER said that!’ denials are now being off the charts busted with reams of ‘Oh, yes you did.’
You did declare war. You said the federal agents were engaged in terrorism. And then when you were asked about inciting violence on CNN, you said you stood by what you said. This is after you learned federal agents were trying to arrest violent Tren de Aragua suspects before…

Yet the deniers shamelessly stick to the denials, and their denials are repeated verbatim as the truth in order to impugn the accuser.
All the progressives have to do is say ‘up is down,’ and it’s accepted at face value as gospel.
The state of New Jersey just sent three new anti-ICE pieces of legislation to its lame-duck, verminously rodential governor, Phil Murphy, to sign. A hysterical Politico headline gives one a sense of where this legislation was headed.
‘They’re killing Americans on the street’: NJ lawmakers push anti-ICE bills following fatal Minnesota shooting
On last night’s CBS Evening News, correspondent Nicole Sganga referred to the shooting of Renee Good as a ‘murder’ during her report.
Reporter on the @CBSEveningNews tonight characterizes the protester shot by ICE in MN as the ‘MURDERED’ Renee Good

‘Murder’ is NOW nowhere to be heard, but one can hear the change in the video quality where ‘the KILLING of‘ has been substituted. Slick work.
We both came off the couch when we heard it during the broadcast, and major dad postulated that she’d perhaps gone rogue. Their cleaning it up afterwards certainly suggests that is what happened.
We’ve all seen the videos six ways from Sunday, and they speak for themselves to rational, law-abiding Americans.
A congratulatory email from an illegal advocacy group I received sure confirms the emphasis on the ‘murder’ narrative and that rational has nothing to do with any of this.
…In 2025 alone, 32 people died in immigration detention. The ongoing door-to-door raids in Minneapolis and murder of Renee Nicole Good mark a shocking escalation of ICE’s inhumane tactics against immigrants and bystanders alike, including dragging people out of their cars, their homes, and tearing them from the arms of their children.
Since Trump took office a year ago, nearly 6,000 people in New Jersey have been detained and separated from their families. One of the most diverse states in the nation, New Jersey is home to 2.3 million immigrants, and 41 percent of all New Jersey children have at least one immigrant parent.
Inadvertently, it also gives you some idea of the scope of the immigration problem in the New Jersey without telling you exactly how many of those residents are here illegally.
Estimates are that there are upwards of 500,000 ‘undocumented’ (the kinder, gentler euphemism used) immigrants in the state.
New Jersey has the fifth largest undocumented immigrant populations in the nation, according to a 2024 report.
Pew Research Center estimated that there were 475,000 undocumented immigrants in New Jersey as of 2022 and 11 million nationwide. Only California, Texas, Florida and New York had more than New Jersey.
“These states have consistently had the most unauthorized immigrants since at least 1980,” the report stated.
What the legislation codifies is basically aiding and abetting the illegal population sheltering in the state.
Provisions of the bills would:
- Prohibit law enforcement from engaging in “racially influenced policing,” like stopping someone based on their suspected immigration status and asking someone’s immigration status unless relevant to a criminal investigation.
- Mandate that prosecutors inform criminal defendants of immigration consequences, limit prosecutors from telling a jury about a defendant’s immigration status in certain cases, and prevent prosecutors from assuming a non-citizen defendant is a flight risk when assessing whether they should be jailed before trial.
- Bar government entities and health care facilities from collecting private information — like place of birth or social security number — in certain instances.
- Direct the attorney general to develop policies for some locations — hospitals, public schools, shelters, places of worship, and courthouses — where assisting federal civil law enforcement would be prohibited.
- Prohibit a government entity from selling, sharing, or transferring license plate information unless required under a warrant or required by law, and require any entity that shares records to provide notice to the person whose information was shared.
- Require state officials to develop training programs explaining the legislation and mandate all state, county, and local law enforcement officers to complete the training within 60 days.
- Mandate annual reporting to the attorney general about when police officers aided federal immigration agents, to be posted online.
But it’s all good, right? These are hardworking New Jersey people. They are friends and neighbors, and so worth protecting for their contributions to the community as a whole.
NEWARK, N.J. — ICE agencies in Newark arrested an additional four illegally present child predators since July 21, making a total of eight arrests in an ongoing effort targeting illegal aliens with histories of child exploitation.
ICE Homeland Security Investigations, with support from ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Newark arrested Daniel Garcia Cruz, a 35-year-old Mexican national, on Aug. 3 in Hoboken, New Jersey. Garcia was sentenced to three years of probation after being convicted for criminal sexual contact March 24, 2023, in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Hudson County.
Delusional.
Hysterical.

History is what the Left says it is, the second they say it, and it becomes more unassailable with each earnest repetition making it so.
We are the victims of a huge swath of the country suffering from a mass psychogenic illness eruption.
WE ARE BEING OPPRESSED BY AN ORANGE DICTATORSHIP
May I point out (apologies if this is redundant) that Trump is also the only authoritarian to obey the diktats of lower courts until such time as he obtains a favorable ruling from a superior one.
Like, worst dictator EH-VAH

Cold is hot.
Acting out in tantrums at ICE protests and consequences for those actions are just like Tiananmen Square or being shot in Tehran.
SAME-SAME STUNNING, BRAVE
As an Iranian-born American, permit me to say: This is an obscene moral equivalence. https://t.co/VJLoja7Ihx

Delusional and/or just plain nuts.
I don’t know which, but I am so tired of them, and all I do is listen and read about them.
God help those poor agents in the middle of the hostile, psychotic insanity every day for hours.
How they maintain their composure is the thing.

Faced with legions of leftist subtards criminally attempting to disrupt and block ICE’s every lawful move, there has thus far been only one fatality, and that was a case of a violent leftist subtard being eliminated only while in the process of attempting to murder an ICE agent.
It’s astonishing that the fatalities have been so low.
Thanks ICE. You guys are real pros.
Were the ICE, DHS, and CBP agents who these foaming-at-the-mouth maniacs say they are, it would be a proggy bloodbath every day.
What’s disgusting is that these deviant barbarians know they’re not.
They just want one to snap so they can faux-mourn another martyr of the week.
