The Trump White House isn't pulling any punches when it comes to the radical left's disgusting defense of illegal alien criminals over American law enforcement—and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt made that crystal clear during a fiery gaggle at the White House on Monday.
"It's disgusting what we have seen from the left, and I think that it just shows you where the modern day Democrat Party stands today in protecting illegal alien pedophiles and rapists and murderers over law abiding American citizens and our brave men and women who serve in law enforcement," Leavitt declared, addressing the recent confrontation in Minneapolis where organized agitators attempted to obstruct ICE officers conducting lawful operations.
ICE Officer 'Absolutely Justified' in Minnesota Incident
Leavitt went to bat hard for the ICE officer involved in the Minnesota incident, calling the use of force "absolutely justified" self-defense against what she described as "a lunatic who is part of a group, an organized group, to interject and to impede on law enforcement operations."
This is exactly the kind of backbone Americans voted for in 2024, folks. After four years of the Biden regime demonizing border agents and letting millions of illegal aliens pour across our southern border, the Trump administration is making it abundantly clear: we stand with law enforcement, period.
"ICE is doing an incredibly important job that's not just important to our homeland security, but our national security," Leavitt emphasized, "and this administration will continue to stand wholeheartedly by the brave men and women of ICE."
Trump Heads to Detroit to Showcase American Manufacturing
In more positive news, Leavitt announced that President Trump will travel to Michigan on Tuesday for a speech at the Detroit Economic Club, followed by a tour of the Dearborn factory that produces the iconic Ford F-150. It's a powerful symbol of Trump's America First economic agenda—the same agenda that's bringing manufacturing jobs back to the heartland while his predecessor shipped them overseas.
Iran on Notice: 'All Options on the Table'
When pressed about the ongoing situation in Iran and whether the regime protests could end without military intervention, Leavitt reminded reporters that President Trump keeps his adversaries guessing—and that's exactly how it should be.
"Airstrikes would be one of the many, many options that are on the table for the Commander in Chief," she stated plainly, adding that "the President has shown he's unafraid to use military options if and when he deems necessary, and nobody knows that better than Iran."
Leavitt also confirmed that Trump spoke with Elon Musk about Starlink's potential role in Iran—a fascinating development that shows this administration leveraging American innovation and private sector brilliance to advance our national interests.
Powell Investigation? DOJ's Call
On the question of Fed Chair Jerome Powell and whether Trump directed the DOJ to investigate him, Leavitt offered a firm "No"—but didn't let Powell off the hook entirely. When asked whether she could assure reporters that Trump's public criticisms had nothing to do with any investigation, she pivoted expertly.
"The president has every right to criticize the Fed chair. He has a First Amendment right, just like all of you do," she said. "And one thing for sure, the president has made it quite clear, Jerome Powell is bad at his job. As for whether or not Jerome Powell is a criminal, that's an answer for the Department of Justice."
Ouch. That's going to leave a mark.
Venezuelan Opposition Leader to Visit White House
In a brief but significant confirmation, Leavitt revealed that President Trump will meet with Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado on Thursday—a clear signal that this administration stands with freedom fighters against the Maduro regime, unlike the previous administration's feckless approach to Latin American dictators.
Leavitt also praised DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, saying the President believes she's doing a "phenomenal job"—high praise for a warrior who's been instrumental in executing Trump's mass deportation agenda.
The question every American should be asking themselves: why does the modern Democrat Party consistently side with illegal alien criminals over the brave men and women sworn to protect us? The Trump administration has made its answer clear. Have you?
